Just perfect...
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Everybody has their own taste and this isn't mine. Maybe if I was 12 years old I'd love it, but I'm not. It's dull, silly, uninteresting - and there's something about that's not altogether wholesome. Can't quite put this into words, but it's just a little bit creepy. Left me feeling a tad uncomfortable. I quite like the genre but this I found boring, dull, how many more lines do I have to type in to this review of mine? A few more by the looks of it - and hey! - I was just trying to be succinct and economical. One-line review? Don't bother. One of the IMDb reviewers indicated this was a life-changing experience for them. I dread to think what their life was like before this trivial movie changed it....
This is Japanese animation film. A girl has ability to leap time and she back in time to change the past. Kazuko is a high school student girl. She has ability to leap time. She comes to use the ability when she wants it. So she backs in time to save people with the ability. Her friends Kazuo and Goro do not believe her story. One day she know Kazuo's secret and she has to make miserable decision.I love this story. Kazuko is very tough to do. The ending is not happy but I feel something warm in it. Leaping time is scientific but there is love term. I am sure you enjoy this film.
If only I could leap through time, it would be great to fix the mistakes we all made as human beings or what we would like to happen. This film showed us this.I wouldn't call this movie the magnificent anime film I ever seen but it does give your brain a lot of questions with the two words 'if only'. I did wish Chiaki Mamiya and Makoto Konno kissed in the end. I didn't figure he was gonna be the love of her life since I thought he was sleazy but as the film went on, he was the complete opposite! It's amazing how the character really changes into something you wouldn't imagine! Although I honestly hated him when he kept calling her 'stupid' even as a 'joke'. The film didn't really bring tears to my eyes but it is scary when those people including Makoto were about to die as the train was about to hit them. I found Makoto a bit whingy but she really stood out to be an intelligent girl to look up to. I would give this movie 7/10
This film is very good don't get me wrong but this film is not in the anime hall of fame as so many say. I've seen so many films better than this one that I find it incredible that so many people value this film so highly. The artwork is great but not nearly as good as underrated films such as Journey to Agartha (Children Who Chase Lost Voices), Patema Inverted, Paprika, and even Coraline. I think this film is way overrated and that ultimately unless you relate to the teenage love story its really just not that great of a film. I love how people compare all other animes to movies like this that aren't twice as good as half the others out there. Basically.....this film is pretty darn good but worse than half the other anime films out there even though it is praised as one of the best. Even Summer Wars is much better than this film. And that film is not nearly as highly reviewed and not that good itself but I watched both back to back. I actually think this film is best skipped if you have a real good anime waiting to be watched. Extremely overrated but still good. Quiet better than anything you will see in American animation half the time.
