The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
(Hosoda Mamoru, 2006)
This is a pretty interesting time travel movie. Similar in some regards to Shane Carruth's Primer in that it focuses on short jumps into the past and the cascade effects which can result-- it is really a more interesting take on teen romance and relationships. I liked it! Double Punchy and it had some pretty nice, contemplative animation. Good characterization and character design. The Art Director was the art director on Princess Mononoke. If you like anime: this is solid work. (6/7)
The DVD gets a lesser review-- my viewing copy had subtitle issues and I was forced to watch the film in English which left something to be desired but is still well acted and is actually pretty faithful to the "essence" of Japanese dialogue. It has a good feature commentary with the principal actors and the director which is worth checking out.
