Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

alcantaraj-16594 What an amazing film! It was funny, science fictiony, romantic and dramatic at the same time. PEOPLE MUST SEE THIS ANIME, even if their not an anime fan nor familiar with the original novel like myself. MILD SPOILER: If you are curious about the main character's aunt in the movie, you should either read "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" wikipedia article AFTER watching the movie or read the original source material. Despite that, I still loved this movie!.

WolfTheLycan This is probably one of the best movies I've ever seen that depicts time traveling. The movie may have some comedic scenes here and there, but don't be fooled...this movie is also very emotional especially at the end, which I won't spoil for you if you have yet to see it. Both the animation and the music are so artistically beautiful. Woven into the movie's story is theme of romance, which I'm not usually a fan of, but the theme actually works after watching it for the first time.If you are an anime fan or if you're trying to get into anime, you should watch this movie. Don't overlook it. It's amazing!

kyledockum Honestly, I have only seen this film twice in my life. I first watched it in 2012 and then later this year. The plot holds up very well over time as it does not rely on animation trick, gimmicks, or tries to do anything more than what I perceive it should.It's about a girl who was going to die because she was being negligent in her life, and through circumstances learns that she can jump through time.What I really liked about this film is that even though the person had super powers, it was more of a curse as life as more of an ebb and flow to it. So taking what seems as a good opportunity might take away something that could have been even better.The animation on the piece was really good for the time; there are clearly sections where dialogue was more important than the animation so they did cut back in quality during those times. But it does not get in the way at all and there are some scenes that are ageless.This is a very heart-full movie and not to be cliché, but I am a man that typically does not cry and this movie has managed to get me to cry both times I watched it, as it is a really well scripted movie.

Mr-Fusion THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME is wholeheartedly worth a watch for its beautiful animation and nice character design (this coming from a not-very-into-anime person). It's a very pretty film. And for most of its runtime, there's a great lighthearted tone and polished comic sensibility that make things very enjoyable. But things fall apart in the last 30 minutes or so where the tone drastically shifts and everything loses steam. GIRL works best when it's dabbling in teen movie fare, where it's charms are inherent. I couldn't help but be disappointed by the ending, which feels rather disparate from everything that came before it.6/10
