Answer
On the variation of 'Sekai-kei': Makoto Shinkai's early works are often categorized as 'Sekai-kei' (where a romance is directly linked to a world crisis). Can '5 Centimeters per Second' be seen as his deconstruction of this genre—what happens to the story when the 'world crisis' is removed, leaving only the 'inner storm' of two individuals?
