"time waits for no one"

I've recently watched Mamoru Hosoda's " The Girl Who Leapt Through Time"... It is an adaptation of a classic Japanese novel Toki o Kakeru Shojo.  From the title itself, the movie's plot, is about a girl (Makoto Konno)  who accidentally obtained the power to leapt through ti  me.


Makoto, is a care free, clumsy high school  student... who is always late, sleeps during classes, and always in detention.
When she accidentally acquired the ability to go back in time, she uses her power to her own advantage, like avoiding  being tardy and to get perfect grades on tests, and even relive a single karaoke session for several hours until she loses her voice.


As the cliche says "Great power comes with great responsibility"... Things begin to turn bad as she discovers how her actions can adversely affect others. Makoto ends up using up more of her leaps to recklessly prevent undesirable situations from happening, including an awkward confession of love from her best friend Chiaki Mamiya


Technically, the animation is exceptional... a combination of traditional and computer generated animation.  Dubbing and sounds are great too


After watching this movie, I realized how time is very important... that we should not just let it passed by and later regret it.  As the adage says in the movie that is written on the blackboard "time waits for no one" 

Now I am looking forward to watch his new animation, "Summer Wars"
