- Reviewed in Canada on September 6, 2015Verified PurchaseThis movie is a great watch, and is one of those movies you can watch over and over and still would love to watch it again. It is also a great flick to watch with your girlfriend/boyfriend and is suitable for most ages. Only down side i got out of this purchase was that it is set for region 2, i solely bought because of the amazing price, i set my region on my lap top to region 2 so its watchable. But if you're already in region 2, its a 5 out of 5 buy right now, great for any film/anime collector. The films theme is time travel, or as you can tell by the title, Time leaping.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 19, 2017Verified PurchaseNot as good as expected. This, according to critics and review, was one of the best anime ever... Well, it's not.
It's a pretty good movie, but it was overrated.
Still, I had a good time watching it. The story his good, but the ending is kind of cheesy.
The drawing are beautiful.
Glad I saw it. Glad I didn't paid to much.
Wouldn't be in my top 10 favorite anime.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 1, 2017Verified PurchaseStories of time travel have always been of interest. This is the unique story of a high school student that gets the chance to change and change again her time line. Through it she grows and learns a lifetime of experience. It is a great story, I recommend watching it once all the way through then going back and watch again.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 29, 2015Verified PurchaseI was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I have trouble liking characters enough in movies to really care about them, so romantic movies tend to fall flat. Instead the characters were likable enough for me to get connected, the initial "casual" uses of time travel were amusing and I found myself emotionally invested for the serious parts. All in all a great movie.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 16, 2021Verified PurchaseIf your new to the anime community, this is one to watch. It is one of my favourites. The only complaint is it didn’t come with the cover like it is advertised.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 30, 2016Verified PurchaseIn my top 5 animated films. Mamoru Hosoda is a visionary who really captures the imagination and makes you really feel for the characters. It's great to see Funimation picked this up for distribution since the last company went under, which made the first print of the blurays really expensive. I think everyone needs to see this movie
- Reviewed in Canada on March 20, 2018Verified PurchaseQuite enjoyable anime, quite good voice cast, not entirely thrilled with the final act. The blu ray picture and sound is quite nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars time travel in a donnie darko style thoughtful way
Verified PurchaseThis is time travel done in a way which recalls Donnie Darko, but isn't as dark, it is a cerebral film which uses the idea of time travel to achieve a feeling and to make a point. Rather than a film about time travel this film is about living life with your eyes open, not just sleepwalking to the end but it also doesn't just mean having fun, it means being responsible as well. Just like Donnie Darko it is a film that shows that there are consequences to life and the choices we make always and without fail; these realisations are given incredible weight by a perfect mix of humour and seriousness.
The detail on characters can often feel minimal and it is, there is often little definition in faces and the characters have a way of moving which looks like frames are missing and detail left out. Rather than detract from the film though this style seems to come together very well to add a complimentary dream like feel to everything which really adds to the whole atmosphere in a way which brings the world to life more than many super detailed facial animation could. The backgrounds in contrast are well detailed and beautifully bright. As well as being impressive the contrast between characters and backgrounds also speak of how important and fixed our surroundings can be, but that despite this within the surroundings there is so much space for so many stories and so many different ways to tell them. All we have to do is pick our path and thoughtfully follow it.
The interplay between characters is charmingly endearing; through jokes and japes the interactions are realistically captivating from the point of view of the minimalist animation and the dialogue, it feels right and it flows naturally almost as if there were real psychology at work in ever relation of pencil mark and every dash of colour because of this the film manages to be laugh out loud funny at times and heartbreaking at others. It is something that can take you by surprise by especially if you are not used to watching anime
Konno's jumps back in time slowly become increasingly more chaotic as she attempts to change time for the benefit of others rather than purely for her own benefit which is often the case to begin with, sufficed to say that it is never as easy as she expects it to be and the outcome is almost always mental or physical pain for somebody.
If you like a bit of thought and a nice gentle pace to your films this is for you, it is absorbing, emotional and funny. What more could you ask for?

5.0 out of 5 stars Time Waits for No One
Verified PurchaseMakoto (Emily Hirst) is an average teenager who enjoys spending her free time with her two best friends, Chiaki (Andrew Francis) and Kousuke (Alex Zahara). However, she has a particularly unlucky day that includes failing a math test and setting a fire in a home economics class. Things go from bad to worse for her when the brakes on her bicycle fail and ends up nearly losing her life colliding with a train. But she is saved when she suddenly discovers that she has the power to perform "time leaps" or the ability to essentially "rewind" time. Confused at first by this newfound power, she starts to use it to solve minor things in her own life including acing her math test and extending her leisure time. But it is not long before she realizes that this power can be used to manipulate the lives of those around her.
As a person whose knowledge of anime films is pretty much non-existent outside of the works of Studio Ghibli, this film caught my eye with an interesting sounding premise which reminded me of one of my favorite movies: 1993's Groundhog Day. I was not disappointed. To start off with, the characters in this film are simply great. There are no tired tropes in play here but the characters come off as realistic and likable. It is easy to like a character like Makoto as you watch her go through her life and attempt to use time leaps to improve it and sympathize with her when things do not always go according to plan. Likewise, the other characters come off as well written and enjoyable to watch. The writing in this film is quite excellent as it explores the possibilities and consequences of Makoto's time leaps. The film manages to use its premise to find humor that results in some very funny scenes. But at the same time, there are serious moments that come off as very touching. The animation itself, while not the best I have seen in the anime style, does work well. Characters are animated fluidly enough that do seem to be alive, but also cartoony at times to emphasize the emotions at hand.
If there is one criticism I have of this movie is that it comes off as somewhat unevenly paced. There are some spots where the movie just seems to slow down at awkward points and it becomes a little frustrating. However, this is only a minor point.
This set includes three discs. There is a standard DVD of the feature film, a DVD with some bonus features, and a Blu-ray with the feature film, which looks excellent, two audio commentaries, and storyboards.
This is a thoroughly enjoyable film that is sure to be enjoyed by fans of anime or just people that like a funny and touching animated film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it now, seriously.
Verified PurchaseThis film contains such a broad spectrum of emotions. I actually had a copy of this a while ago but never got around to watching it properly; I just flicked through it to get the gist of it - only, I didn't get the gist of it at all. Each part of it is quite misleading to the over all feeling and flow of the story. Now, having watched it properly, I can see this.
When you start watching it, it's a lightly comic slice-of-life thing. You're introduced to the various characters, mainly the heroine Makoto, and it's easy to believe that the whole film will just be this nice, heart-warming school life drama. Without wanting to give too much away, this isn't the case and after a fairly long intro, the plot proper kicks in and you really start to appreciate the slow build-up and low-key presentation of the film so far; it really grounds the consequent sci-fi plot and helps it become the philosophical piece it is, rather than just a novel movie about a kid that can leap through time.
Much of the plot could have been brought about without the time travel element; for example, when Makoto learns of someone's feelings towards her but then leaps back to before the confession, the same effect could have been achieved by simply having her overhear the guy telling a friend that he likes her. The impressive thing is, though, the time travel never feels like a gimmick, never feels bolted on or superfluous to the plot. If she'd merely overheard and done nothing about it, it would have remained a simple drama; since she goes back to a time before the confession, something much more tragic and regrettable takes place.
This is just one of many leaps that Makoto makes to avoid things happening, some in the "oh no I burnt my toast!" magnitude, and others far more serious. Seeing her be flippant with her powers makes it all the more affecting when things get serious and she realises her powers aren't just a toy for her to play with. Like so many great anime films, it manages to be a powerful allegory and a potent drama at the same time, not sacrificing any quality for another.
The only faults I can think of are that, yes, it is a little slow to get started and this may put off some more impatient viewers. Really, don't be put off if you feel your interest lagging early on. Enjoy the light-hearted stuff for what it is and realise that it'll only add to the impact of the more serious stuff later. The second fault is similar to the first; it's a pacing issue. Once the plot has laid itself bare in front of you, when almost all the plot twists have, uh, twisted, the story slows right down and almost lets the tension and drama its created to this point slip away as it slightly flounders towards its climax. It's not a big deal, though, and to be honest, as long as your heart is still beating, you should be sufficiently adsorbed and enthralled by the end to not really care about a bit of bad pacing.
In case you're wondering, this is an anime that will appeal to all sorts of people, all genders, all ages, anime fans and people who still think of it as "those Chinese cartoons". The romance is very affecting without being tacky or self-important. It has positive messages but never gets anywhere near feeling preachy or pretentious. It effortlessly slides between comedy, drama, romance, sci-fi, philosophy, slice-of-life and, I guess, thriller, without you realising it's changing. Considering you can get it for just under the price of a packet of fags (at the time of this review), you'd literally be mad to miss it.
