Buny Summary

Makoto Konna is a regular high school student who accidentally obtains an ability to “leap” through time. She first discovers her ability when she miraculously survives a train accident. Using her new found ability she begins to play with the limitless possibilities of time travel. Arriving to class on time, doing well on tests, are now all simple tasks for one who has the ability to travel back in time.

She is then confronted with a love confession from one of her close friends Chiaki Mamiya which she childishly avoids using her time leaping abilities. However her time leaps are restricted to a limited number of times and she eventually uses them all when avoiding Chiaki’s confessions becoming unable to rescue her other good friend Kosuke Tsuda and his girlfriend from an accident which kills them both.

Chiaki reveals the truth and the story unravels into a desperate race for Makoto to unveil her true feelings before it’s too late. Using his last time-charge, Chiaki reverses the incidents preceding Kosuke’s accident and this restores one of Makoto’s time charges. Using her last time charge, Makoto is finally able to talk to Chiaki about her feelings for him and likewise for Chiaki to Makoto.

I couldn’t give this movie any more praise than I already have; definitely one of my favourites without a doubt. The animation quality is spectacular from Madhouse; the fluid movements, the lively, bright and intricate backgrounds are stunning on their own, a masterpiece that the artists should be proud of. Character development is spectacular as the writers create a stunningly real teenage environment; school, bullying, and most importantly, the awkward first relationships. Oku Hanako’s contribution to this movie is wonderfully addicting. A bit of science fiction, a bit of romance, a bit of comedy, and a lot of phuzy-awesomeness! Watch, enjoy, fall in love.

Phuzy Review

One of my favourites is “Toki wo kakeru shoujo” or “The girl who leapt through time” from Madhouse released in Japan on July 15, 2006. A definite must see for those who haven’t already. The animation quality is outstanding. The story is riddled with hilarious comedy scenes and has a strong plot driving behind the whole movie. Character development is spectacular as Makoto Konno discovers her true feelings while reliving moments with her accidental ability to go through time. She literally leaps into her time travels. My phuzy-ratings for this awesome-tastic movie are:

Story: 9/10
Animation: 9/10
Character: 9/10
Overall: 9/10

Definitely a good movie to watch during the summer by yourself, with your girlfriend, boyfriend, or just plain old friends. This little love story features a strangely addicting song “Garnet” by Oku Hanako from her album TIME NOTE. Whether for the high quality animation, the amazing character personalities and development, or the realistically funny scenes, this is a movie you really should get a large bowl of popcorn and a comfortable couch to enjoy. Our friends at Shinsen Subs have subbed this movie for us and we thank them a whole bunch!
