Oh my god… This was still funny the fourth time - more so because I could understand all of it. I don’t know why Mikan really shone through here whereas I didn’t really think anything of her watching it raw but she is on my list of favourite characters for this show. What is up with me and loli characters this season. Also, Haruna comes out more cute with her stuttering and Rito slapping when I watched the scene subbed.
orz… I missed so much raw. I can’t wait until next week’s episode… which is tomorrow! ‘Oh Yeah!’
So I recently watched Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo with my younger sisters. I have to say it was a magical experience. It was an effective, inspiring and intriguing slice of life (well, as close a slice of life as one can get with time travel involved - It felt like one).
To me, the explanation behind the time traveling seemed unrewarding and standard but I was enjoying it too much by then to care. The story tells of Konno Makoto, her friends and her romance while she gains the ability to leap through time. Literally.
I guess the real selling point to me was the characterizations, like many slice of life’s actually. The scripting is beautifully done and the characters come off more rounded and less 2-D than I am used to in anime.
Although, I am one for happy ending, the bittersweet ending in this movie, being packed with raw emotion the whole way through had me pleased. At the end of the movie, I said to myself that I could see me buying this on seeing the DVD in store. This was a brilliant watch and I would recommend it to anyone.
Note: I almost cried when he said ‘Mirai de Matte’
