I don’t watch too much anime, but I thought “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time” looked pretty good so I watched it with Bay and Koa. They liked it, and I loved it! I thought the animation was super, with lots of attention paid to small details like when the main characters played catch at the field, they really moved realistically, not flawlessly. There are plenty of cool little scenes of everyday things, like little snapshots of daily life. A little bit artsy but I like that kind of stuff. The story is interesting too, sort of a time-travel plot mixed in with a teen love story. Not really mushy but there are a couple scenes that are pretty emotional. Mariko was telling me that she saw the original live-action movie when she was a kid, so she was familiar with the story. I haven’t watched it yet, but I have to say that the anime version is something that I would definitely recommend!
