The Young Can Call For a Redo...
I just finished watching Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo (Got a subtitled version thanks to a tip from Astro) and I have to say, what an incredible movie! Maybe not quite to the level of Makoto Shinkai's movies, my first impression is that I favor this movie over any Ghibli film that I've seen! I am definitely going to give this one a rewatch! (Update: ok, maybe not better than Spirited Away overall after some thought. I guess I'll have to rewatch that one, too. I'm not complaining...)
I'll do a fuller review sometime later, but Astro's quick take on the movie pretty much reflects my initial feelings. Though I do have to admit, I was in a stunned state for a few minutes after the credits rolled.
Also check out Wabi Sabi's insightful analysis of the film. I am finally able to participate in the comments there!
