It begins normally enough; schoolgirl late for school, arrives at school, hangs with friends, leaps through time... wait a second! That's right. Shortly into the movie, she gains the ability to leap through time, and the movie takes off from there.
First of all, this is the only ten I've given to an anime, movie or otherwise, but let me try to explain. The characters in it are some of the most down-to-earth, realistic characters I've seen in an anime, which is good by the way. Of course, since it is an anime, there are still those exagerated moments such as when a character gets angry that permeates just about every anime show. The Voice acting is also exeptional to me, and really helps to draw you in to the character's world and plot. The art and animation are exeptionally beautiful to my eyes, and make this movie a joy to watch, especially if you have an HDTV. The music is wonderful, and tie the whole experience together. The length of the movie is also just right to me, clocking in at just over an hour and a half. Not too short, but not too long.
The story is filled with different emotions. I laughed out loud, which I don't normally do, I cried, which again, I don't normally do, and I was genuinly happy when things worked out in the story. Very few movies do this for me, and deserve praise when they can do it this well. I'll say it one more time.... I LOVE this movie!
I don't know what else to add, other than I FULLY, SINCERLEY, recommend you check this movie out!
