Posted by Pixie on 04.04.2010, 09:27 AM: Hmmm...I felt pretty pulled in with this anime too. These kind of films always make me feel sad because they're not real. |
Posted by Sencha on 04.20.2010, 02:06 AM: I had feeling that i would really enjoy it even before I watched it, so I saved itlater, to watch it when i feel depressed or annoyed. I have watched it couple of days ago. Very refreshing! I just loved it! But, I have to say it is not as good as Studio Ghibli ones, but still amazing! The characters have so much emotions that I actually fell in love with them! Now have to look for more animes to watch when I am sad. |
Posted by Pixie on 04.21.2010, 07:14 AM: I disagree when you say that it's not as good as Studio Ghibli animes but that's because they're so different that I don't think you can compare them. For instance, you couldn't compare an indie horror with a blockbuster horror in terms of resources because one has a tighter budget than the other so they'll each go about things in different ways, even though they're essentially the same thing. Basically, what I'm saying is that I don't think it's possible to compare The Girl Who Leapt Through Time with any of the Studio Ghibli collection because the styles both studios have adopted are quite different. |
Posted by Karawekhime14 on 04.21.2010, 11:28 AM: Yes its like comparing apples to oranges.

Posted by Mush on 06.13.2010, 04:10 AM: I bought this movie a few weeks ago after reading these good reviews, but just watched it now. It really grabbed me, strongly. I had to watch it in two sittings, because I got pulled away to do something else.

Posted by Rossdude on 02.13.2011, 06:57 PM: I quite liked "Through Time" and "Summer Wars", maybe even more than I enjoyed Makoto Shinkai's works (they are beautiful, but a bit too slow for my taste, save "Voices". "Through Time" and "Summer Wars" were paced just right for me. Of course Ghibli is in a league of its own and "Through Time" and "Summer Wars" (as well as Shinkai's pieces) contain too many anime cliches to really compare with Ghibli. Ghibli films are something else than anime and don't follow design elements or story elements that the anime mainstream considers the norm. That's why they are so great. But still "Through Time" and "Summer Wars" are great pieces that deserve some looking into. |
Posted by maggie on 02.14.2011, 02:10 PM: Oh, I really want to see Summer Wars! It releases tomorrow, so I'll be buying it sometime soon. |
Posted by Rossdude on 02.15.2011, 10:25 AM: I preordered from Amazon. Should be coming in today ^_^ |
Posted by Kemi on 02.22.2011, 10:20 AM: Isn't this movie made by some of Ghibli's moviemakers? I think I've heard something about that.

Posted by arren18 on 02.22.2011, 01:24 PM: It's very famous as it's another retelling of a popular story. It's the only version I've seen, and I really enjoyed it. And if you like it, I recommend seeing Summer Wars too, if possible.

Posted by Rossdude on 02.22.2011, 05:09 PM: Highly recommend "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time". Color choices are excellent. Smooth, fluent animation. Likable characters. I gave it another watching this past weekend and there were a few things that felt odd to me. Events that deal with the guy who throws the fire extinguisher make up a lot of these oddities. Like why is he being bullied SO MUCH for his accident in the cooking room? And why does he proceed to be such a jerk to his saviors (Makoto and Chiaki). Then he snaps and turns most of his violence on the people who stuck up for him? Seems a little extreme to me.

Posted by Rachi on 03.21.2011, 08:04 AM: Only just started to stray away from Studio Ghibli and try other anime films and i must say I was impressed with "The Girl Who Leapt through time". i even fell in a little in love with her guy friends. great animation and the dubbing was sound!!!!
