Let's start with the art; the art was fair, it wasn't amazing and majestic, it was pretty bland and per time distracting in my opinion. The background and characters don't blend well ever, and there is small details on the characters. Considering that, it still works and the animation can be pretty smooth and thus make the art feel less bland. And I got over the detail on the characters eventually and it didn't affect too much my watching experience.
The music in the movie is very fine and works in every scene, especially the amazing orchestral and piano pieces played throughout. Made the movie a lot more jolly and emotional.
The characters in this story where really likable and lively. They made the movie! Even if they were sometimes messy in what their intentions are, you still rooted for all of them to stay safe and be happy. The characters really complement the story
And well the story is pretty good! It has its share of unexplained holes in logic, it still was successful to transmit it's message extremely accurately. That time doesn't wait for anyone and that you should just flow with it and make the best out of it. The ending and plot twist, as mentioned maybe a bit messy, it still works very well. And it was definitely emotional. I cried.
I really liked this movie, I would not call it perfect, but it was a beautiful and emotional story about friendship, appreciation and self reflection. :)
I give Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo a 8/10.
