Very Cathartic Watch
30 January 2014
I highly recommend the movie for anime watchers. The characters Makoto, Chiaki, and Kosuke bring the viewers into a interesting, yet mundane life of high school. Makoto begins to experience leaping through time and as she does she journeys to find out more about herself and true love. All this to say the movie is a therapeutic and cathartic watch, especially with music from Kiyoshi Yoshida (II) (also worked on Sonic the Hedgehog). I like movies like this that bring you into atmosphere of peace. The plot is thorough unlike some anime and although there is minor action and no real fight sciences it's a successful modern piece of anime. Enjoy, the film.

I enjoyed Mamoru Hosoda work in Samuai Champloo, and look forward to watching Wolfe Children and Summer Wars.

I think the art in the films is scenic and serene, and though less dazzling than other films still has beauty of it's own.

Other films that I would consider as therapeutic watches are Secret World of Arietty by Hayao Miyazaki, and maybe one with a little more action would be Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. I enjoyed Mamoru Hosoda work in Samuai Champloo, and look forward to watching Wolfe Children and Summer Wars.
