| it was one of the best~ that's for sure |
 |
| Great movie 9/10. I missed a final kiss though ><. And it kind of leaves the viewer wondering what will happen in the future. |
| truly one of the most transcendent and beautiful films i've ever seen!!! it so perfectly captures the fragility and impermanence of our best moments in life....................... something we don't appreciate in the now can be taken away in the blink of an eye - definitely cried tons during this wonderful film.........i'd recommend this to anyone who loves great film or art........................ |

IchigoHollowfi said: but isn't that the point of the movie: the impermanence of the moment that we must treasure? i think the ending was frustrating because you definitely want to see them together, but it does fit in with the underlying theme of the film..........This movie was wonderful, I was really blown away. 10/10 ♥ one of the best movies I have ever seen. But I did have one question, Did she ever see him again? TT.TT |
|
| Perfect anime! Great...I wanna cry now.. |
| Perfect. |
| Finally got around to watching it. Absolutely wonderful. |
| Ahh what can I say loved it, loved it I whelmed up been near crying on two occasions once because I was so happy and thats never happened before. Only thing I disliked was that Chiaki left. I'd rate it 9.9/10, I never give 10's. |
| I loved it. I want to know more though! What do they do? How does she catch up to him? Maybe he's only a few years in the future so it wouldn't be weird. xD And haha to all the "He missed!" people. (: |
He tends to make my heart beat. <3 |
| Great movie !! omg the plot was well developed and i love the emotion and tension that built up towards the end. I loved every bit of it. 9/10 |
| watching Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo...all the tears! T____T |
My friend code: 0688 - 6300 - 6898 |
| ok, been meaning to watch this show for QUITE SOME TIME!!! but haven't.... but after picking it up on some convention i went too... my god, do i NOT regret not picking this up!! (beforehand, i really thought about exchanging it back for a 'stupid' naruto movie!! :p) Seriously, this movie was absolutely great. 10/10 no more can be said. |
| It was a good movie, but i didnt really liked the end. |
| Nothing in this world lasts forever, and it´s time you accept that. It's better to not cling to these things that you will eventually lose. |
| I loved this movie.... 10/10 Second to receive this score on my list. |
| pleasant watch a bit overrated holy plot holes batman 8/10 |
 |
| Tons of unanswered questions, but I guess it's intentional. Also some plot holes, I guess. But overall I can feel the emotion behind it, so it's good for me. 8.5/10 --> 9/10 Can be better but it's already awesome. Too bad I am not fond of open ending. |
| Extremely awesome.. I nearly cried on this one. |
| The plot, the mains, the music, the art style, the backgrounds, the seiyuus. I loved them :) And still don't know why I almost always love all movies I watch xD Well that's all ^^'... |
| Ah excellent movie~ Great directing, plot, and sound. And that last time leap, the best scene in the movie.... was so breathtaking! Too bad I just got around to watch it, even though I had this sitting in HDD for years. Definitely recommending to anyone that haven't watched it. |

| I must say that Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo was best anime movie I've watched so far. (Most of my anime movies are One Piece related) Madhouse Studios, always in great anime shows. Looks like in movies too <3 Art was good, story was great (Even there was little things that wasn't answered) and great characters. Same scenes all the time (Well, it was time leapt so I was waiting for this) Makoto was starting become more selfish and more everytime she leapt through time, hopefully she finally understand what she really wanted to do... Hmm.. ending was little boring, but still I enjoyed to watch it <3 5/5 |

| Well, I finally got around watching this and thought the movie was performed quite well. Although it's not on my top 10 movie list, it definitely had a good pace and everything seemed to fit together well. This movie definitely made up my weekend along with Fate/Zero and Dusk Maiden of Amnesia this week :P Damn, if I had the power of time travel, the things I'd do... |
 |
| I liked the movie, but I have to give it a lower score due to the plot holes and a few unreasonable actions. Makoto was obviously a nice character, her personality was great. I would have really liked the movie if it had gone on a somewhat different route at the point when Kousuke and Kaho got hit by the train. Until that point I would have given it at least an 8, it was really well done. So like this I will give it an 7, it was a good watch, but I would have liked some kind of a different ending. |
 |
| Great movie! And you cannot really mess up with time. So far, this movie is in par w/ Steins;gate. Really enjoyed it! Gonna dig for more time travel type of stories.. hehe |
| This movie goes straight into my faves list right before the first one ( 5 CM Per Seconds) . Really grea , unexpectable great lol . |
 |
| Just a great movie with a epic ending! It was really open that's rather disappointing but it was an epic movie either way! |
 |
| This is like a perfect movie. I love it. |
 |
| Do not see how this is rated so high. Good at first but last third of the movie went real downhill IMO. |
| This is really nice to watch right after you finish another time travel series like Steins;Gate. Really nice movie. Not perfect, but deserves a 9/10 from me. Too many plot holes and unanswered questions! Main reason why it loses 1 point from me. Also, the anime uses a lot of scenes that waste time. For example, the scene where she is running to meet Chiaki. That took like 20 seconds of her panting and running. It was a bit unnecessary. |

| Hm, it was alright. It wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be, but still pretty good I guess. =p |
 |
| I thought this film was brilliant. I'm still a bit heartbroken about the ending but this has definitely become one of my instant favorites. |
| Let this be our little secret, no needs to know we're feeling HIGHER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER! |
| Amazing film, was more impressive than 5 Centimeters Per Second to me, due to the great mixture of comedy and drama. The story flowed well without any wasted scenes. All those repeated scenes served their purpose in establishing the implications of time travel. The ending was a bit unsatisfying, would've liked to see her time leap one more time into the future; still great though. |
 |
| GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))))) *can't say anything more!* |
| This was amazing. It is definitely a tear jerker. |
| 10!! People don't think it was should think it over immediately. Otherwise stop watching anime for not having brain :p |

| A very nice portrayal of the consequences of time travel. Enjoyed this quite a bit. Charming movie with a great main character. |
 |
| Why do people like this so much? None of the characters were given personalities, none of their motives were explained. I have never seen a plot with more holes and unexplained events in it. At most it deserves a 6/10 because it was at least mildly entertaining. |
arkv said: At the very least the protagonist has clear personality, and I would say that her two chums have shown good personality too. I also think that we can tell their motives from the movie. As for " never seen a plot with more holes and unexplained events" it is gross exaggeration and you know it. Not to say it does not have holes or unexplained events but it is not as bad as you seem to claim it is.Why do people like this so much?

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

None of the characters were given personalities, none of their motives were explained. I have never seen a plot with more holes and unexplained events in it. At most it deserves a 6/10 because it was at least mildly entertaining. The main character is awkward, nothing else about her is revealed. Her friends are given the same level of detail. I am not exaggerating on the plot hole point, so many things go unexplained. For example: How does Chiaki know that Makoto is time leaping? Why does Chiaki like the painting so much? Who is Makoto's aunt? Why does the ending make no sense? Why doesn't Chiaki leap back to before he lost the device? Who wrote the message on the board? Why is the door in the lab locked? |
| ^ It seems you just want everything to be revealed and explained and in that case I don't think you will get what you want. For example, the main characters may be awkward but it focuses on their relationship and how the heroine changes her view about it and herself over time, and that is the important part. We do not need to dig deep on everything about her background. In fact one would say that it is more realistic for a character to be portrayed this way. As for plot hole, there are things that were deliberated left unexplained. The message on the board is one. And we do not need to know all the back story about why that painting matters so much to Chiaki. And I would imagine that Chiaki having lost the time travel device made some investigation and found out Makoto had it. Makoto's aunt also hinted that she got time leap power and that is good enough for us to know (of course those who are old fans of the novel that inspired this movie can tell that the aunt is actually the heroine in the novel). As for ending making no sense, I would like to hear you explain why. |

Why don't we need to know the backstory? How is Chiaki's reason for coming to the past not relevant? The ending makes no sense because he should have come back using time travel immediately, there was no need to wait since by using time travel he could disappear and then come back straight away. |

As for the ending, I am not sure what you mean "he should have come back using time travel immediately". It is not as if his time travel ability is unlimited. |

The aunty flat out says that she remembers her liking the guy, therefore she must have done something to make her think that. Because it doesn't make sense, how does he even know that the painting exists? When he arrived back in the future he could have bought another pebble and returned to see her again. Also, don't say that the pebbles are too expensive to buy because otherwise he wouldn't have wasted money to see a painting. |
