The Girl Who Leapt Through Time – Podcast Review

Leap into the adventure of a lifetime

Something strange has happened to Makoto Konno. Time has suddenly stopped and moved her backwards.

With her newly discovered ability to literally leap backwards in time Makoto finds that tests become a piece of cake, embarrassing situations are corrected, and she can have her favorite food anytime she wants. Unfortunately, her carefree time traveling has adverse effects on the people she cares for.

With every successful leap Makoto somehow alters the fate of those around her. This wasn’t supposed to happen and as she races back in time to fix everything, she notices that her abilities are not limitless but with every successful jump she’s one step closer to discovering the most wonderful secret in her young adult life.

    Damn you!! I near had to take a hit from my inhaler for the oncoming asthma attack your cicada detour took. Many were the strange glances I was given while at work listening to this particular show, especially when you got to the bit about the “Cicada Singer”. Anyway, I saw this a while back, and felt about the same, though I thought it did incorporate the youthful exuberance as of a child with a new toy rather well. Tired scenery, there’s no argument there, but a touch of sci-fi amidst overwhelming domestic tranquility was kinda cool. Could have been done better, but not bad. Now I have to wonder if somebody could get AltaVista or Google to do their translation magic for the oft neglected tibicen pruinosa. Except by Japanese sound directors, that is :b

      Well thats perfect then, Madman who were nice enough to give us the film to review will be happy to hear that even when we’re pretty ambivalent on a film that folks still want to check it out! good stuff!

      it’s not a bad film really i just didn’t really get into it. my girlfriend kinda did which was weird. worth a look for sure.

        I like your reviews because they’re comprehensive (and it’s fun to listen to all the jokes)… even if you don’t like a film because of X, that same X might be something I’d be into… and you guys give me a lot of XXX :D
