Toki Wo Kakeru Shoujo (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time)


     I have rarely watched any anime movies, I watched a lot of series but I wanted to try out an anime movie. I had seen a few anime movies before and they were good but The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was a fantastic movie and is now one of my favorite anime and also just one of my favorite movies overall.


The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is about just that, a girl who leapt through time. It follows the main character who figures out that she can time travel to her past events and then jump back to what was her present time. I have always loved time travel movies and this has to be one of the best ones I have seen. 
The anime style is pretty basic but is done very well, so it is visually appealing but nothing over the top. The most interesting visuals is when she travels through time she has to run and fall or stumble to basically trip back in time. As she does this it shows this giant like computer code world where all the time codes are floating around. 

She uses these time jumps for selfish reasons and there are many consequences for this. The story really drives in the fact that whatever you do has consequences and she figures that out, too late I will say as her life starts crumbling around her the more she time travels. She ends up finding out that there is a limit to her time travel and she is very worried close to the end if she can fix anything or everything.

I have been very vague about the story because I do not like to spoil anything. That being said this is a definite must watch in my book and you really should try and take the time and watch this wonderful movie that you will throughly enjoy.
