Time Waits For No One

Hello to you my friendly readers! This is Candy posting in this random blog again! ^_^ Today I'll be writing about another movie directed by the famous Mamoru Hosoda! This movie is called The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and is based on a book with the same title written by Yasutaka Tsutsui. This is one of the very few romantic films/series I really liked and enjoyed. I think this movie is worth watching and, as always, I'll be giving you a brief (brief=lousy in my own world) summary of the movie. I highly recommend this movie. It contains funny scenes as well as heart-breaking ones.
Makoto Konno, a high school girl, is the one starring this movie. This movie is basically about this girl who, by accident, gains the ability of time leaping thanks to a tiny device. She realizes that by jumping into dangerous places (e.g.: jumping out from the window, jumping down to a stream, jumping from a very high diving platform, etc.) she can time leap to avoid undesirable outcomes. She time leaps mostly to help her best friends, Chiaki Mamiya and Kosuke Tsuda, getting them up for romantic relationships or avoiding dangerous events. Chiaki confesses his feelings to Makoto but she time leaps to prevent that from happening. Makoto realizes that she had a limited amount of times she could time leap. After successfully helping Kosuke getting him a girlfriend, Kaho Fujitani, (well, actually was the way around), Kosuke borrows Makoto's bicycle. However that bicycle's brakes were failing. Hence, Kosuke and Kaho get run over by a train. Makoto had no time leaps left, but, unexpectedly, she is able to stop time. Then Chiaki appears to her and tells her that he came from the future and that he was also able to time leap, and uses his last one to save Kosuke and Kaho, then vanishes (because he had broken the rule where no one could know about time leaping - something like that). There on, Makoto realizes that avoiding Chiaki's confessions was worthless and fortunately, since Chiaki time leapt, Makoto still had one opportunity to time leap and uses it to get Chiaki back.
Well that's what's basically about. I'll be sharing the trailer, which I don't own anything from it. Hey, almost forgot! Devil Survivor 2 The Animation will be out for Japan on April 4. Enjoy and until next time!! >_<
