Synopsis
Makoto is a typical teenage girl who spends most of her days slacking off with friends. One day while rushing to meet her aunt, she nearly gets hit by a train, but at the last second, finds herself jumping backwards in time to before the accident. She immediately makes use of her newfound ability to re-do every minor inconvenience- from poor exam results to awkward confessions of love. However, when faced with the consequences of tampering with time, Makoto must do everything she can to avoid a dire future that can't be reversed.The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is a beloved early film from Mamoru Hosoda, the Academy Award-nominated director behind BELLE, Wolf Children, Summer Wars, and more. Hosoda weaves together the timeless, breathtaking visuals he is known for with a tender-hearted story of a girl navigating first love, time travel, and the perilous choices that come with both.

Moviegoers are saying
This anime time-travel gem has viewers either scratching their heads at its head-injury premise or completely charmed by protagonist Makoto's relatable priorities (like using temporal powers for pudding). Despite mixed reactions to its scientific logic, audiences consistently praise its emotional depth, unexpected plot twists, and the way it transforms typical teen melodrama into something genuinely moving through its time-loop conceit.

the owner of this account is currently trying to stop crying and screaming over: I'll be waiting in the future. I'll be right there. I'll run there. they’ll be back in a little while
•lily•Nov 26, 2013Paradoxes be damned, this was delightful. Taking a cue from Groundhog Day, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time eschews the technicalities of time-travel and instead uses it as a stage to examine relationships, regrets, and what makes us happy. It's a risky move, but then…

Throwing yourself off a cliff has to be the best method of time travel I've ever seem in a film.

Another one of my favorites, a stepping stone into watching animated series actually! Very sad and the animation was splendidly done! I would recommend this to any newcomers to animated films!

Great anime movie, About valueing the Life your Living and not regreting the past because if you try to Change the past the world could end up much worse than you think. So accept the present and think hard about the future because that is all you can do to make your life better.
AMock likedThe Girl Who Leapt Through Time7.5/10 I really like Hosoda’s style. You can tell the animation is a little outdated, but it didn’t detract from the movie imo. The story had a very interesting concept, although I’m not sure how I feel about the ending. Looking forward to continuing Hosoda’s filmography
Jackson likedThe Girl Who Leapt Through Time8/10 Was a good and interesting movie, I also loved the animation. The theme and characters were good, although there were a lot of long slow pauses between parts in the movie for some reason and the ending just left me confused and not sure how to feel.

It was so amazing and had me crying. It even has romance in it on top of the time traveling plot. It also teaches a valuable lesson that “time waits for no one”. Highly recommend
The One Who Laugh likedThe Girl Who Leapt Through TimeGood movie. The mc was annoying/stupid but she redeemed herself in the end. The music was great. I recommend you to watch it, if you like time travel. I would give it 7.8/10.
William Luckenbach likedThe Girl Who Leapt Through TimeThis film had a very interesting premise and was incredibly heartfelt but suffered from somewhat slow pacing at times. Overall though, I did enjoy this film. 7/10

It has few fireworks, but still sticks in the mind, and is a definite upgrade from Digimon: The Movie for director Mamoru Hosoda.
