Time travel? That's a shame. I was hoping that it would be something about computers and programming. Hence, the famous words "Hello World."

Hmm... Makoto Shinkai's Tenki no Ko rival for the best original movie of the year I guess....


Oh another anime from shinkai, I predict its mal score will be above 9 again just like Your Name because of votes rigging.
