Take Groundhog Day and mix it with a bit of Japanese true love youth dramas and you have The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, a wonderful and touching animated film from Studio Madhouse and author Tsutsui Yasutaka. Klutzy Makoto, always late to class and more than a little scatterbrained, soon learns that she has the ability to travel back in time after a near fatal train accident. After mastering her ability, she wastes no time in using it for petty, personal matters related to school work, sisterly squabbles, and wanting to avoid awkward conversations with friends. When complications arise in her relationships with friends Kosuke and Chiaki, Makoto must set things right, but all her time jumping in the beginning came at a great cost. With the time jumping element essentially acting as a plot device, the filmmakers can focus on the characters and the story. Once you accept the logic of the film, you can't help but get sucked into the characters and their plight. The end result is a heartfelt story of the importance of time not only to everyday matters, but to our ultimate happiness. Highest recommendation! The quality of the DVD is pretty good. The picture looks great (especially on an HDTV), and the subtitles contain few errors. If I had to gripe about something, it's that the Japanese audio track on this Hong Kong release is only in Dolby Surround as opposed to Dolby Digital 5.1. Oh well, small price to pay to see this film at such an affordable price. |
