Actually I would give it a 7.5 but as you know IMDb only allows hole numbers.
This movie is basically about three friends (two boys and one girl). Their feeling towards each other is pretty well constructed and easy to follow. This is important because it is the important theme of the movie.
The place, time and events in which the main theme develops is the great flaw of the movie. It is basically a separated japan at the border of war; there is a huge tower at Hokkaido that links to parallel universes and a couple of other strange things. this plot is hard to follow and actually not very interesting. Never the less, this should not prevent you from watching this movie because it is not really important for the movie. This is a very light film and I guarantee you will feel really nice after you've finished watching it (by light I mean easy with your heart, not easy to follow).
Just as 5 centimeters per second, the animation is excellent. However, if you have not seen a lot of anime or you are just not a big fan I would recommend some other movies first. From the same director, 5 centimeters per second is much much better, although, is not as light as this one.
