The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and our hearts

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is an animated science fiction that focuses on the drama. Like most time travel films, the main focus is drawn to the fact that either time needs to be fixed, or that history needs to be changed. After the main character Makoto discovers she is gifted with the power to travel through time, after almost dying in a train accident, she decides to have fun with her powers. However, as she travels back in time she realizes that as she has things her way others get hurt because of it. The entirety of the movie focuses not on fixing time, but rather the drama of the characters and the problems they face and how Makoto can fix them, as well as the comedic relief. An interesting theme in the film is that Makoto is constantly being draw to certain locations throughout the film. Many of the locations in the film act like anchor points Makoto eventually is drawn back to, like the railroad crossing and the classroom where on the chalkboard is written "Time waits for no one," by a mysterious stranger. This makes the film a great watch everyone would enjoy.
