I've seen a lot of anime films. I've seen almost all made by Studio Ghibli, give or take one or two. My parents know this and so for Christmas all I seemed to get was anime and manga. I'm not complaining, great presents. I had a lot of main stream stuff, and then this. Although Titled as 'The Girl Who Leapt Through Time' which is what I shall refer to this as.

The plot is simple enough. A girl manages to gain the power to 'leap' through time, as such she goes back to fix everything that seems to have gone wrong whether it be at school or at home even her relationships with people. Then a not very surprising twist, she starts feeling the consequences. Slightly predictable and slightly boring, but keep with it. She ends up hurting the people around her, ect. ect. Things are worse for her than when it first began. After that, it gets better. As all the lose strings are tied, I started crying. In fact, I think I sat for the whole of the last half an hour sobbing my eyes out! It quickly changed from hilarious to so sad. living in the UK, I haven't seen this in many shops. Which is a total shame! This film deserves a lot more attention than it gets. The artwork is pretty good too! The voice acting brilliant. With a very moving plot. If a little predictable at first.

Story - At first, I'd have said a 5, but I'd have to give it a 8 for the surprising twist at the end!

Art - Lovely artwork! The characters are quite simple but the background is stunning! 9 here.

Sound - Great Voice acting, nice music. I don't really have much to say here. 7.

Character - Characters were great! Fairly complex and quite easy to relate too! If I were granted the ability to leap through time, I would do exactly the same things! The romance was very well done too, it was fairly obvious hat was going on, and it made me laugh seeing them all to afraid to ask each other out! Very realistic. 8.

Enjoyment - It's great all the way through! Eve what I said about the predictable start, it's still enjoyable, 9.

Overall I'd say - 10. I loved it! I watch this over and over again. Definitely worth watching!
