Not bad, not bad, but far from 'the best'. However animation is top notch.

Very good film, but ending sux.If in future, people live underground (Chiaki said that he never saw a river on earth), that means that this must be very far future. I don't think that they will ever met each other :/

Its hope that makes you walk forward. If you understand that maybe you will see the ending in some other way :) at least i saw.

Very good movie, I enjoyed it.
I liked how Auntie Witch went through a similar experience(At least I think so, since she said she once fell in love with someone in highschool) idk it was great.

My personal 1st place anime movie!!!
I got more and more surprised minute for minute due watching, that it was THAT AWESOME!

U cant even compare this movie to Spirited Away or Princess Mononoke. Its completely outstanding. But dont ask me why, i dont know it my self, i just felt it.

Just lean back and watch. If not i will come to your homes and force u to watch!! :D

damn... I just watched this film with my friends and I must say.. I love this film.

haha was funny though...
my stomach rumbled when Makoto was eating the pudding!
D:

I think i've seen scenes from this movie before. Like in the begining when she couldn't stop her bike and went over the caution line. But anyway this was a great movie. 9/10. I wish they had shown what happened after the end. <(^ - ^ )>

Simply a masterpiece ! 10/10

I really love the most part of the movie. The only thing that I don't like was the ending (seems little bit cliche). Overall, 9/10 for me.

Ahhh I am sorely disappointed there aren't more Movies like this.
Don't you ever wish you could erase your memory of watching it so that you can watch it again and again while still being surprised by the ending every time?? I do.

this is a good movie ♥ well uhm one of my fav. anime quotes is here it is in the ending part "i'll be waiting in the future"

Mine too!!! T_T

i JUST watched this movie. it was absolutely amazing. i bawled and bawled my eyes out. best movie ever T__T <3

I wonder if Makoto's aunt fell in love with Chiaki when she was younger, which would make the scene where we got a close-up of her old photo more relavent, considering the face of the dude on the left is blanked out? My memory's vague so I dont know if it looked anything like Chiaki, but it would be really interesting if so, and might even make Chiaki a more ambigious figure. Consider this: he's so intent on getting this painting restored so he keeps going back in time to convince impressionable young girls to continue the restoration, lol.

Anyway, really great film. Avoided a lot of cliches as best as it could along the way, I was really dreading a love triangle and was relieved when the story didnt resort to one. Amazing animation, loved the subtle body language.

loved it,

really loved her aunt's line about her Sunday, rofl.
and her aunt in general really.

Just finished this movie. Wow, it was pure brilliance.

There are a few details that are headachey if I think too hard about them (mostly about the time-travel aspects) but if I don't delve too deep it really doesn't bother me. This film was just astounding, I haven't been that moved over something in a long time. It just drew emotions right out of me. I'm not one to get all teary-eyed over a movie, but I admit I was crying towards the end of this one.

I think I might have to go read the manga some people are mentioning. I still don't get a few things that are probably explained there.

Oh, and is there an english dub of this? And if so is it any good? I love the Japanese one, but my boyfriend hates reading subtitles for long periods of time and I'd really like him to watch this. So I was hoping if someone could tell me if the dub's good.

I've just seen it and it's awesome.

Though, I didn't get couple of things, like when she said how now she knows what she wants to do, at first I thought that she wants to restore paintings like her aunt so she can keep that one for Chiaki, but that one's already restored by her aunt and she's only interested in one painting so it doesn't make sense for her to do restoring for the rest of her life.

What would give meaning to his last words, and her comment that she knows what she wants to do is if she's in fact the one who makes time traveling devices. That way she could stay young forever and meet him in the future.

Wow. I really don't have a life.

Ah, thats actually interesting, especially if he knew she would all along. Although I cant imagine such a ditzy character inventing time travel to be honest. Plus as has already been mentioned, it sounded like he's from the far future...

Probably the best anime movie I have ever seen. 10/10

Overall I enjoyed this film, however too many unanswered questions remained at the end for me to give it a 9 or 10. Therefore it gets a solid 8.

My first thoughts at the end were "wow, that's depressing. Makoto realizes her love for Chiaki but whoops, too late. He's heading back to future so, have a good life and forget about that."

But then I thought, "oh wait. Chiaki could probably come back and see Makoto again and maybe even stay for good next time. Now that's a happy thought, what a great movie!"

But still. Chiaki had been waiting around specifically to see that painting. After he used his last charge to save Kousuke he said he would disappear. Time cops or something. This caused Mokota to leap back which restored Kousuke's final charge. At this point, I do not understand why he immediately left? He still could have waited around to see the painting, or just hang out with Makoto and Kousuke. If he was still going to be in trouble for making time traveling mistakes what did the one charge even matter? He still disappears in the end.

Like I said "a solid 8."
