The girl who leapt through time is a japanese novel from 1967 about a girl who accidentally gains the ability to travel through time. Although the original novel was made into a series and a live action film eventually getting a live action sequel i will be talking about the Anime movie mainly because I haven't seen the others...
The story revolves around a highschool girl named Makoto Konno and her life. Being a horrible clutz and not the brightest of students she sometimes has unlucky days. The story begins on one of those unlucky days where having failed a pop quiz and almost burnt down her cooking class she gets thrown infront of a train and dies, except she doesn't die. She finds herself, quite safe, about 30 seconds in the past. She then finds that she can travel through time and uses that power to get better grades and correcting her mistakes. This just makes things worse however and she starts finding herself in alot of trouble soon.
The animation in this film is wonderful and I think it shows pretty well the chilled everyday of a tomboyish highschool girl. Makoto's personality certainly doesn't make this movie boring to watch and before long you find yourself sucked into her world and will be thinking how awesome it would be if you could do it all yourself... now of course if it were me, I wouldn't get into any trouble because I am awesome. I can't say that the music was very rememberable, having seen the movie I don't think I can clearly remember a single song. The idea itself is pretty good and the things that happen to her can often make you chuckle. I found it easy to connect with her and would probably have done the same thing as her if given the chance ( probably with how easy it would be to sleep till 12 and then just jump back to 7:30 and go to school xD ). A very enjoyable experience and I would recommend this movie to almost everyone.
Ég er einmitt búinn að vera með þessa inni á tölvunni í soldinn tíma og ætlað að horfa á hana...
