The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - BD/DVD Combo + UV

Time waits for no one

After waking up late, flunking her pop quiz, embarrassing herself on numerous occasions, and starting a fire in her home economics class, high school student Makoto Konno figures she’s just having one of those days. Just when she thinks she’s made it through, the brakes on her bike malfunction putting her on a collision course with a speeding train. The life-ending accident would have been the perfect end to the worst day ever, but the strangest thing happens—she leaps backwards in time.

After unlocking her new ability, Makoto does what any teenager would do. She re-takes tests, corrects embarrassing situations, and sleeps in as late as she wants, never thinking that her carefree time travelling could have a negative effect on the people she cares about. By the time she realizes the damage she’s done, she’ll have to race against time to set things right.

Fantastic movie, one of the greats from Mamoru Hasoda

Fantastic movie, one of the greats from Mamoru Hasoda
The story is fun and the animation is wonderful. I really don't want to say too much about it other then watch it for yourself!The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars wasn't because of the movie at all... But either the shipping process was rough from Amazon to my home or just the case itself isn't very durable. The front disc holder that holds both DVDs was partially popped out (the top pipe came out) and one of the hinges that holds the DVD in place was broken and rattling around inside with both DVDs loose in the case... So there are some minor scratches on them, though mainly on the movie disc... The extras disc was relatively okay and the Blu-ray seems in good condition as it was the only one still held in place.So yeah, other than possible issues with the contents surviving a trip to your home, I'd say get the movie for sure. I'm testing the DVD out now to make sure it still runs properly but the Blu-ray plays fine which was the main reason for this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time Waits for No One
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2016

Makoto (Emily Hirst) is an average teenager who enjoys spending her free time with her two best friends, Chiaki (Andrew Francis) and Kousuke (Alex Zahara). However, she has a particularly unlucky day that includes failing a math test and setting a fire in a home economics class. Things go from bad to worse for her when the brakes on her bicycle fail and ends up nearly losing her life colliding with a train. But she is saved when she suddenly discovers that she has the power to perform "time leaps" or the ability to essentially "rewind" time. Confused at first by this newfound power, she starts to use it to solve minor things in her own life including acing her math test and extending her leisure time. But it is not long before she realizes that this power can be used to manipulate the lives of those around her.

As a person whose knowledge of anime films is pretty much non-existent outside of the works of Studio Ghibli, this film caught my eye with an interesting sounding premise which reminded me of one of my favorite movies: 1993's Groundhog Day. I was not disappointed. To start off with, the characters in this film are simply great. There are no tired tropes in play here but the characters come off as realistic and likable. It is easy to like a character like Makoto as you watch her go through her life and attempt to use time leaps to improve it and sympathize with her when things do not always go according to plan. Likewise, the other characters come off as well written and enjoyable to watch. The writing in this film is quite excellent as it explores the possibilities and consequences of Makoto's time leaps. The film manages to use its premise to find humor that results in some very funny scenes. But at the same time, there are serious moments that come off as very touching. The animation itself, while not the best I have seen in the anime style, does work well. Characters are animated fluidly enough that do seem to be alive, but also cartoony at times to emphasize the emotions at hand.

If there is one criticism I have of this movie is that it comes off as somewhat unevenly paced. There are some spots where the movie just seems to slow down at awkward points and it becomes a little frustrating. However, this is only a minor point.

This set includes three discs. There is a standard DVD of the feature film, a DVD with some bonus features, and a Blu-ray with the feature film, which looks excellent, two audio commentaries, and storyboards.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable film that is sure to be enjoyed by fans of anime or just people that like a funny and touching animated film.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first big hit for Miyazaki Hayao's true heir
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2018
Verified Purchase
I am a rapt fan of Hosoda Mamoru's work, and this was the first one he brought to audiences, way back in 2006...

There are differences in style obviously, to Miyazaki's great hall of genre-defining, cultural icons... but also a lot of similarlity. Hosoda's MADHOUSE animators use sparse detail with line in their heroines compared to Ghibli's, but they both emphasize timing and subtlety -- closer to directing live action -- than many other anime. Both also emphasize story over all else -- and this is where Hosoda picks up where his once-rival left things as he passed: the amazing and sorely-missed Kon Satoshi.

Hosoda would build on that simple formula with the arguably more impressive, more challenging-to-tell-well Summer Wars in 2009... but this story about a girl in HS essentially navigating maturing thru how she feels about a boy using time travel, even 12 yrs later (after not having seen it in at least 10) kept me glued to the screen. Even the flow of the story leaps and runs and grinds to a halt like Makoto does, yet not cringingly or excessively so. It's this attention to detail yet commentary on the big yet accessible questions of life and society simultaneously, that've set Hosoda in my mind above many other luminaries like Anno Hideaki, Watanabe Shinichiro, and Shinkai Makoto (Shinkai is the newest -- and lately, the closest -- of the bunch to reach Hosoda's skill with storytelling in this medium... but he's not quite there yet. I enjoy both and welcome this comparison).

TL;DR... TGWLTT is a story about crossing that gossamer, golden-threaded boundary between childhood and adulthood... about friendship, love, and responsibility... about cause and effect... and to seize the day. Five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Favorite!

Last year I checked this film out, hoping to make me feel a little happy after going through the never-ending sadness and melodrama that is A Silent Voice (a good film on its own, but not for me). To my surprise, I loved it so much. Later I checked out Hosoda’s other films and they don’t live up to how much I love Hosoda’s debut in the creative world 100% to me (Boy and the Beast and Mirai weren’t for me at all, Summer Wars I called the weakest of the films I like this guy but still good on it’s own, and Wolf Children while I like it I don’t 100% get the hype around that’s just my opinion on all his work post 2006, Belle will be in just a moment). With that said, this is one of my Top 5 Favorite Anime Films

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 out of 5 WOULD WATCH AGAIN!
Reviewed in Canada on September 6, 2015

This movie is a great watch, and is one of those movies you can watch over and over and still would love to watch it again. It is also a great flick to watch with your girlfriend/boyfriend and is suitable for most ages. Only down side i got out of this purchase was that it is set for region 2, i solely bought because of the amazing price, i set my region on my lap top to region 2 so its watchable. But if you're already in region 2, its a 5 out of 5 buy right now, great for any film/anime collector. The films theme is time travel, or as you can tell by the title, Time leaping.

This film contains such a broad spectrum of emotions. I actually had a copy of this a while ago but never got around to watching it properly; I just flicked through it to get the gist of it - only, I didn't get the gist of it at all. Each part of it is quite misleading to the over all feeling and flow of the story. Now, having watched it properly, I can see this.

When you start watching it, it's a lightly comic slice-of-life thing. You're introduced to the various characters, mainly the heroine Makoto, and it's easy to believe that the whole film will just be this nice, heart-warming school life drama. Without wanting to give too much away, this isn't the case and after a fairly long intro, the plot proper kicks in and you really start to appreciate the slow build-up and low-key presentation of the film so far; it really grounds the consequent sci-fi plot and helps it become the philosophical piece it is, rather than just a novel movie about a kid that can leap through time.

Much of the plot could have been brought about without the time travel element; for example, when Makoto learns of someone's feelings towards her but then leaps back to before the confession, the same effect could have been achieved by simply having her overhear the guy telling a friend that he likes her. The impressive thing is, though, the time travel never feels like a gimmick, never feels bolted on or superfluous to the plot. If she'd merely overheard and done nothing about it, it would have remained a simple drama; since she goes back to a time before the confession, something much more tragic and regrettable takes place.

This is just one of many leaps that Makoto makes to avoid things happening, some in the "oh no I burnt my toast!" magnitude, and others far more serious. Seeing her be flippant with her powers makes it all the more affecting when things get serious and she realises her powers aren't just a toy for her to play with. Like so many great anime films, it manages to be a powerful allegory and a potent drama at the same time, not sacrificing any quality for another.

The only faults I can think of are that, yes, it is a little slow to get started and this may put off some more impatient viewers. Really, don't be put off if you feel your interest lagging early on. Enjoy the light-hearted stuff for what it is and realise that it'll only add to the impact of the more serious stuff later. The second fault is similar to the first; it's a pacing issue. Once the plot has laid itself bare in front of you, when almost all the plot twists have, uh, twisted, the story slows right down and almost lets the tension and drama its created to this point slip away as it slightly flounders towards its climax. It's not a big deal, though, and to be honest, as long as your heart is still beating, you should be sufficiently adsorbed and enthralled by the end to not really care about a bit of bad pacing.

In case you're wondering, this is an anime that will appeal to all sorts of people, all genders, all ages, anime fans and people who still think of it as "those Chinese cartoons". The romance is very affecting without being tacky or self-important. It has positive messages but never gets anywhere near feeling preachy or pretentious. It effortlessly slides between comedy, drama, romance, sci-fi, philosophy, slice-of-life and, I guess, thriller, without you realising it's changing. Considering you can get it for just under the price of a packet of fags (at the time of this review), you'd literally be mad to miss it.
