"The energies of our system will decay; the glory of the sun will be dimmed, and the earth, tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for a moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest. Matter will know itself no longer. 'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."

I might wake up early and go running. I also might wake up and win the lottery. The odds are about the same.

1. 5 is overrated.

I agree.  I think it's got something to do with Ai.  She's not my favorite character, but she certainly is a common favorite.  I have no problem with people that like her, I just don't happen to agree with their assessment of her awesomeness.  I find Akai muuuuuch more awesome, and he hasn't made it into a movie yet, sadly.

5 is overrated, but I don't think 1 quite matches it. The Ai stuff wasn't particularly amazing and it even got grating at points, but I like it when the movies try to delve a bit deeper into the personalities of the main characters. It was also nice having an actual mystery to solve, even if it got turned into sideshow.

Well that probably has a lot to do with him being 'dead'. :P

He wasn't it any before he 'died'. :P

Voted 1 as I think it's better than 5. Not by much though... ^^'
