Summary: Makoto Konno an ordinary high school girl living her ordinary life gains the ability to, literally, “leap” back in time. With the power, she imediately starts changing her life with simple changes, like getting better grades, and preventing personal mishaps. However, she soon realises that changing the past can really get things messy, so eventually, she will have to rely on the limited powers to shape the future of herself and her friends.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, few thats a mouh full. Is a movie directed by Mamoru Hosoda, you may know him through other movies like Digimon and Superflat Monogram. For this person was a new director, and i dont really know about him too much, but one thing i can say is that “I am a big fan” of his now, after watching TokiKake(the girl who leapt through time in japanese akronym) His animations i could recognise through the movies i watched, but never really knew who directed it.
What suprised me was that Madhouse studios worked on the Animation. I thought Production IG would of taken the job, seeing how they would do more of this kind of genre. Either way, Madhouse did a great job. The Animation done by the madhouse crew and Mamoru, is actually somewhat similiar to Kyoto Animation, sometimes the characters are very loosely drawn and makes them look out of proportion, but thats one way of showing an interesting animation. The color scheme used for this movie is beutifully done, almost like Makoto Shinkai’s artworks, the decending sun, the rippling water, the leaves of the trees, the blue sky, its amazing. Such great visual.
Currently Mamoru Hosoda is finishing up his newest feutured film called Summer Wars, very interesting, cant wait to go see it when i go to Japan.
So the end, the movie is really well made and that everyone will enjoy watching this, whether your not a anime fan or watcher, any movie watcher would love The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
instead of OP/ED on the watching section, i’ll have the Trailers for both Tokikake and summer wars.
