The Girl Who Leapt Through Time scored a big hit in Japan in 2006, and has been eagerly awaited by American otaku. Makoto Konno regards herself as a normal high-school student. She's smart, but not brilliant; a little clumsy, but not a klutz; well-liked, but not a social star. Her favorite pastime is playing baseball with her best friends: handsome, studious Kosuke Tsuda and shaggy, offbeat Chiaki Mamiya. When Makoto nearly loses her life in a bicycle accident, she escapes by moving back through time. Her aunt tells her the talent isn't unusual in girls her age, and Makoto begins exploiting her ability. But her efforts to improve the present backfire, making school, friendship, and romance even more complicated and difficult--until she discovers a surprising secret about Chiaki. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo) has remained a popular property in Japan since Yasutaka Tsutsui's novel appeared in 1967: It's been filmed repeatedly in live action and adapted to a manga. Mamoru Hosoda's animated prequel to the original story blends warmth and fantasy in ways usually associated with Studio Ghibli films. The relationship Makoto, Kosuke, and Chiaki share is exceptionally well-drawn, and nicely balances the fantastic elements of the story. (Rated 13 and older: minor violence and risque humor) --Charles Solomon

Worth Watching December 28, 2008
Besides the likable, quirky main character, I found this title very entertaining - $5 becomes $10... $10 becomes $20... etc. She dodges her own death at least 3 times, and mucks up the timeline as she tries to correct her love life... pretty much what any high school student would do if she could leap through time. This should be on the list of videos to watch if you plan on time travelling any time soon.

I enjoyed this film December 16, 2008
The quality of this movie was very good. The animation was quite nice the dubbing was done well too. Even though the main character got annoying at times it was still entertaining.

Wonderful !!! December 14, 2008
That movie is absolutely wonderful.
It is powerful, surprising, inspiring.
It is funny, sad, very moving.
Some scenes will leave you in shock, breathless.
That movie will stay with me.
Watch it, whatever your age.
Time waits for no one.

Charming anime with girl appeal December 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

akoto seems ordinary enough. She has her friends, goes to school every day, and makes her way through those confusing early teen years. Then, one day, she hears a noise in the school science lab. When she goes to investigate -- well, something happens, or seems to. After school, on her way home, her bike's breaks fail on a steep hill. She careens in front of a rushing train, with no way to avoid being hit. Then, quite suddenly, she appears back in the school again, a few hours before her date with death.

Somehow, she has developed the ability to go backwards in time, but with memory of that possible future. Then, over the next few days, she learns to leap at will. Life in early teen years gives plenty for her to want to do over, including romantic embarrassments involving her friends or herself. This ability has its limits, though, including a countdown that mysteriously appears on her arm. Then she discovers that she unwittingly took this ability away from someone else.

You won't find mega-mechs or flying swordsmen in this peaceful but engaging movie. You will find a few other manga stereotypes, including impossibly thin and leggy figures and shortie schoolgirl uniforms. Accept the conventions and look elsewhere for bam-pow excitement. This kid-safe movie offers some chaste teen romance and mystery, and some undefinable bit more. Give it a shot.

I've been waiting over a year for this to come out in the U.S. based on some scraps of information in Anime magazines. The English dub is great, probably better to follow the emotions than Japanese. Background art is absolutely stunning and the story with it's twists and turns never lets you down. My teenage children immediately wanted to watch it again the very next day.
