Toki wo Kakaru Shoujo is a sci-fi, drama, comedy, slice of life film based on the novel of the same name. I must say, this goes along with my top most films. It's one of the best anime films that I have seen so far. Without revealing too many spoilers, here goes my review:

Story (9/10): "Time waits for no one". No one is powerful enough to stop time. But what happens when we have the technology to counteract this premise and apparently travel through it? There we can do anything that we want to do in the first place without regrets. However, changing the past also changes the future. What will you do then? So it is basically about a high school girl named Makoto, who acquired the ability to time leap after a certain incident. There, without minding of the outcome, she enjoyed travelling through time for her own enjoyment. It was fun at first but then she realizes the effects of her actions whenever she changes the past. I love the plot of the film, overall. It's not focusing on just time travelling but it also tackles about family, friendship and the time spent with each other.

Art (8/10): The art is beautiful. The colors are blending well. The animation is amazing. Their facial expressions are great.

Sound (9/10): I love the soundtrack especially the ending song. It really blends well with the story and the animation overall. This is the major factor why it is an emotional roller coaster ride.

Character (8/10): Makoto is like a tsundere type with an outgoing personality. Chiaki is similar to Makoto and Kousuke is the serious, intelligent type but has his quirks when with friends. The characters are great especially when put together as a team. Makoto's development is good, I like it.

Enjoyment (9/10): I really enjoyed the film and this is among my top list. I would really recommend it to anyone.
