The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - Wallpaper and Scan Gallery

Makoto Konno is just your average energetic high school student. She likes to sleep in, arriving at school at the last possible moment, gets average grades in school, likes to play baseball with her two best friends Chiaki Mamiya and Kousuke Tsuda, complains about her little sister, and has no idea what she wants to do with her future. Everything about her life is pretty ordinary. Until one day, she discovered she can leap through time...

If you like sci-fi, fantasy or adventure, then this movie is probably not for you. While it has time travel, that's not really the main focus of the story; time leaping acts more as a plot-device to develop the characters and the story. Although some parts of the time leap are explained, it's best if you don't question how it works (like what happens to the current time line when Makoto goes back) and just take it as it is, else you'll end up going in circles and get a headache. The story focuses more on the relationships and the characters than the logics of time travel and how it works, and that's what you should focus on as well.

However, that's not to say the movie is all mellow and slice-of-life. There's action, humour, romance in it as well.

The power to travel through time... It can be used for the good of humanity, or just selfishly abused. While many may fantasize about obtaining such a power, it has become nothing less than reality for otherwise-normal schoolgirl Konno Makoto...
After a fated event, her life takes a turn for the extraordinary. Though she initially uses her power to literally "leap" into the past and change little things in order to make her life easier, she soon has to face the fact that changing the past can have drastic consequences

this film was one of the best films I've watched,and it's a highly recommended,so give it a shot...you won't regret.

Amazing!! Best anime movie I've seen so far... It has a nice humor, comedy, drama, action and science/fiction. The story got me thrilled from the start. Makoto is so predictable, but what goes on on the background is so outstanding and unpredictable that the story becomes very interesting!

Very nice. The main character is a girl who can travel through time, but this is not the usual sci-fic movie. It starts focusing on frivolous problems of a high school girl daylife, but becomes very deep, dealing with the consequences of the girl's decisions.

KAZUKO YOSHIYAMA: "He said he would definitely return one day. Though I didn't plan on waiting for him. And so much time has passed. It didn't last long. A blink of an eye. But, Makoto... you're not like me, right? If someone were late to meet you... wouldn't you run out to meet him?"

This is a very sweet, emotional, and at the same time fascinating story. Excellent backgrounds by Makoto Shinkai and simple graphics of characters (but it does not upset me, because their movements were very well of course). I'll be honest - my heart sank a pair of points (this is a sign of how good anime for me). Given that the anime is based on the story - I love how delicate it is marked in the anime

I didn't expect it to be so good when I started watching it.
It leaves me with slight depression in minutes before I can finally smile at the end. It's a heartwarming story, and I even cried at some of the part. I love the friendship(at least, at first) between Makoto, Chiaki and Tsuda. The ending was a bit unexpected but it's the best I guess.
Overall, it got good presentation and plot. I'm truly lucky for having the chance to watch it. :)

I thought this movie was pretty good. ^^ It's been awhile since I've watched it, but I'll try to remember the most of it. This movie is pretty slow, so you'll have to wait and give it a chance before you drop it. The movie was almost plotless the entire time. It was kind of a "what would you do with time traveling powers" and you kind of just had to relate with the main character and what she did. Of course, this magical power doesn't last forever, and the main character wasted all of her jumps just because she didn't want to deal with a relationship problem head-on. The ending was really sad too! I remember sitting on my futon watching the ending happen and I was seriously pissed. It's just not the ending you want, so that would make anyone mad. It's really not that bad though, if you can take the slow movies and I don't know, relate to the characters more, you'd probably love this movie.

Gorgeous... May call it a japanese Butterfly Effect, but way better... Crying a lot. Can recommend to everyone. The plot is just awesome, needed to watch again so I could understand everything and addicionally notice more. I love Oku Hanako songs used in the movie, they fit perfectly. Very amazing movie, I'm really glad I found it.

I love it.
I never expected it's to be a great story until I watch it!
It's very touching, and the friendship and feelings between the characters really made me smile, cause it's sweet and I can never find it in real life.

I got interested in this ever since I saw a wallpaper of in on animepaper.net
The story is typical with an interesting added element.
but I love the backgrounds
I LOVE THEM
they're so pretty and detailed and just simply amazing *u*
those in contrast the characters are a little simple
It's a really nice movie to spend some time on!

very great story...

at first a bit confusing since it can loop 1 day over and over with different end...
but that's the point ( doh, read the title will you )...

that it turn out to be one of my fave anime...:D

Already is the one of the best anime for me. Good story, presetation, characters, background and everything!
In the end...it's make me cry every time I watch! (Poor Makoto Y.Y)
And the one sentence that appear in this story made me realized...Do whatever you want before it too late

"Time waits for no one"

This is one of my favorite films of all time, Anime or NOT. Its such a gorgeous story, not to mention the beauty of the animation. ALSO, holy crap the soundtrack is amazing. Doesn't matter how many times I watch this, its special every time and is like a warm blanket to me.
It was pretty much the first anime I ever really watched. If you haven't seen it, WATCH IT. But make sure its the Japanese dub, its perfection. I really do not like the english dub.
