Life for 17yearold Konno Makoto is filled with fun days at school and hanging out with her two best friends Chiaki and Kousuke. But then she finds herself with an ominous ability to leap back in time. A truly strange ability that at first saves her life but then allows her to not be late at school to know the answers on any surprise exams and to avoid any troublesome mishaps. It is only when Makoto chooses to use this ability to avoid some of the more personal issues that arise with her friends that events become both complex and painfully difficult the simple gift that she began to take for granted suddenly becomes a troublesome burden.
First the message of the movie was that Time waits for no one. At first it might seem like such a simple quote which we hear a lot of time in our life but its meaning is very deep which you slowly realize throughout the movie.
Also it showed that we should never indulge in our selfish actions because we might be enjoying ourselves but without us even realizing someone else might be getting hurt due to our actions. And thats what happened with our MC after getting the power to leap through time she didnt think about her actions at all and just went ahead to enjoy herself and without her knowing things around her started changing hurting the people badly in the process and even herself as more time passed. She didnt use her powers for anything evil but yet her selfish actions hurt others and their feelings.
When Makoto learns that her actions have bad consequences and are hurting the people around her badly she tries to amend them but amending is not going to be an easy task and she learns it the hard way. This is where Makoto develops a lot trying to amend what her actions caused and learns the big life lesson.
The visuals and the OST were really amazing just playing at the right moments and even though I didnt know the song before it just gave me an urge to sing along which I did for a fact and this happens rarely so you know...
The animation style kinda reminded me of Wolf Children but really I dont know if there is any connection or if it was just me
The characters are all so good pretty relatable and realistic even the MC and the other two mains. I liked Makoto the most then Kousuke and then Chiaki. They all developed nicely especially Makoto her development was the best.
I really enjoyed the whole movie. The plot was interesting from the very beginning it kept that way till the end and never got boring. Not spoiling but the ending scene after the reveal was really good so beautiful I loved it
