The Girl Who Leapt Through Time...
Recently, I took the opportunity to watch The Girl Who Leapt Through Time...
The feature builds to a wonderful climax as Makoto wastes the last of her time jumps only to discover that she has inadvertently left two of her friends in great danger and she cannot save them. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time has some humor, but, is also, at times, heart-warming and heart wrenching. There are, of course, no naughty bits, bloodshed or gore to speak of. I would give The Girl Who Leapt Through Time a 4 out of 5. The The Girl Who Leapt Through Time soundtrack CD has 15 tracks and I liked 9 tracks for a total of 60% which works out to a rating of 3 out of 4.
