Watching *The Girl Who Leapt Through Time* (2006) FOR THE FIRST TIME! Movie Commentary Reaction!

[@Saphthings]

This movie is based on a novel from the 60s where a girl has similar abilities. That original girl is the "aunty witch" here. Her last leap ended up erasing everyone's memory, so you get this sad bittersweet feeling seeing her knowing she never remembered.

[@bluehour850]

where did you read it?

[@Saphthings]

@@bluehour850 google exactly this: "the girl who leapt through time novel english archive" should be first link.

[@lisamarieschnee]

15 years later this is still my most favorite anime movie.

[@trasardi]

This is just my opinion but, Chiaki saying he’s waiting in the future and Makoto saying she has something she wants to do have something to do with the paintings. Maybe one of her purpose became to save the painting to the future so that Chiaki can see it. And this is their meeting in the future.

[@butterflyenergy2782]

Omg that's such a good theory!!!

[@robertscott1949]

The countdown on Makoto's arm went from '00' to '01' because after Chiaki "fixed" the accident with Kousuke on the bike, he also undid Makoto's last leap. Makoto says as much just before she decides to make that one final jump. And since she is going back to before Chiaki use his last leapt, she undid it for him. As least that is what she hoped would happen. That is why she anxiously confirmed the extra count on Chiaki's arm after handing him the used-up walnut and said "just as I thought!". But there are still many inconsistencies in the film that one would be best advised not to think about too much because it was entertaining enough and didn't really need 100% logical consistency (like how is she going to "come running" to see Chiaki in the future, unless it is the very near future, or Chiaki really likes older women, or why, if Chiaki undid Makoto's last leap does Makoto still remember using up all her leaps?)

[@madengineerkyouma]

Ah, the movie that gave Daru the idea of calling the messages sent to the past "The Mail That Leapt Through Time"

[@lalalarose8197]

I doubt it. The story has been popular in Japan since the sixties. Not to mention there have been many adaptations before this anime.

[@madengineerkyouma]

​@@lalalarose8197 This was the most recent adaptation before Steins;Gate's release, and Daru being an otaku it was most likely a reference to this one.

[@davefred]

@@lalalarose8197 I think you read that wrong. It was literally the reference to this movie.

[@WaywardVet]

Oh god, you're doing a movie that makes me frustration cry. This should be fun. Let's go.

[@WaywardVet]

Best part of the commentary: "I must fall on that nut again."

[@MariaLuiza-tb1li]

When I was a kid I always watched this movie when it was passing on tv, but I never really understood what was going on 😂 Years later, when I was already in college, I watched it again and I finally understood, but something that never changed is that I always cry when Chiaki goes back to the future.

[@joe_schmow]

This movie is really sad, and not just because of the ending. It's about all the hurt that keeps getting passed along by running away and not facing ones life. It's like.. accept responsibility that your path bears issues and you have to suck it up and accept that they are yours. Deal with it. Kharma demands responsibility for the self to be gratefully emancipated and dissolved. Maybe it's conscious like that.

[@goldentrout4811]

Good to see a classic still being remembered to this day.

[@user-vp5rk4by1o]

makotos aunt was actually time traveller she was a main caractor of the first edition of the gril who leapt througe time 　1983

[@WarReactors]

Nice, and subtitled. The aunt is the main character from the original 1967 novel, but her time traveler erases everyone's memories at the end, that's why she has a faint memory of him.

[@ezes5153]

Name of the novel?

[@wrexgrafix84]

You mean this is some kind of sequel?

[@ezes5153]

@@wrexgrafix84 yup

This movie is sooo good, next time you guys should (please) react to "Tokyo godfathers", is one of my all time favorites, there also "Millennium actress, Paprika..". Great video

[@joe_schmow]

Second this in an independent comment.

[@mafumafuyu__]

still one of the best romace anime I've watched

[@lalalarose8197]

You must not have seen many then.

[@mafumafuyu__]

@@lalalarose8197 im not you

[@EnglishNijisanji]

It’s sad but Makoto and Chiaki will never meet again. I think Chiaki lives in the far future like 1,000 years later. Makoto will restore the painting for him. And Chiaki is waiting to see it.

[@allanlocke5749]

No she will preserve the painting. Makoto, does not possess the skill to do a restoration. She's just not that kind of character. She will protect, what she believes to be important.

[@kohanesluvr]

Anime movies really are the best! The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Your Name, A Silent Voice, Weathering With You, Wolf Children, Mirai , Summer Wars and all of the studio ghibli movies are great!

[@chenyo0928]

This is my favorite animated movie ! By the way, this director's next film, Summer Wars, is also very good~

[@lalalarose8197]

The fact it’s the subbed version is a miracle.

[@borahae7593]

Guys watching it again made me realise the aunt said at 47:30 he said he would come back like chaike said to her . And the aunt is working to restore the art . And mokoto said she would also save it for him . Is like the same . Maybe someone just want the painting to be save all time and come back in time to assign the work to somebody. I don't know if I make sense 😂😭 Anyways .i enjoyed the movie

[@kef41]

Mamoru hosoda he should have won the oscar a long time ago, but neither the world nor the academy is ready to recognize him

[@lalalarose8197]

That’s just fundamentally untrue. By ‘world’ do you mean outside Japan? Because he has been popular in Japan since his time working on Digimon. As well as the Digimon Movie that managed to become a minor hit in the States. He’s also been Oscar nominated for Mirai, which did not deserve its nomination whatsoever.

[@allanlocke5749]

I believe that Chiaki's desire to see the painting in the future is what helps give Makoto, purpose, or atleast something to strive for. Once he sees the painting in the future, he will have no reason to go back to her time. If he does go back to that time, it won't be to see her. What the two of them had was fleeting, it was a product of summer. Summer love. He fell in love with her time and wanted a summer romance, with the kind of girl who would allow him to enjoy that time to it's fullest. She however was not comfortable with the whole more than friends thing, which is unfortunate because that's all they'll ever have, in that time line. She'll preserve the painting but spend her life with someone else. Imagine if she was his mother! Thank god they didn't kiss. Imagine if she was his first love, from a specific time line.

[@lorettabes4553]

I will forever love this movie

[@yuudikleonata1148]

I remember crying watching this in my high school days

[@n4ko]

when i first watched this movie i remember reading about chiaki being the same person the ant dated. it was just a theory, but it basically said that he was trying to bring that painting to his time. So he needed someone to take care of it and keep it safe. And thats why he’s. kind of deceiving this girls into falling in love with him and telling them he will be waiting.

[@5ilver42]

12 years later, I remember when I watched this for the first time. It moved me into ruining my life with bad choices.

[@allanlocke5749]

There's a couple on a bicycle when they're next to the river. I think it's symbolic of the two of them traveling through time, together.

[@Narutoanime16g]

I think the director of this one also directed? This one anime movie called Summer wars. I don't remember much but its worth a watch too if you're curious fufufu 😸

[@Anarkey]

This anime is "technically" a sequel to the original novel in the 60s. You should check out 5 cm per second the movie. It's directed by Makoto Shinkai, the director of Kimi No Nawa (Your Name).

talking about another time travel anime, you should try out "Summer Time Render"

[@0Clewi0]

As you go back to the tempura a lot, consider all the shitty HS things you've seen in the movie, he could totally blame her for trying to actually set it up, probably with some water or other thing that would splash oil, with the cabbage still being an accident.

[@shiroreborn1991]

My favorite movie

[@mannygee005]

I think Chiaki can visit her at any time... because you know he can "meet" her. Maybe when she's a bit older after school like 3 years. There's one thing that I'm not sure I realized before but I figured it out watching the reaction, how she got 01 left when the lady bug landed on her.

[@mannygee005]

(3) there's the couple on the bike going downhill... (4) there's the accident and "someone" was very upset so that Chiaki used his last charge to save the couple (0). Because of that leap, time rolled back (1) from zero to one, Chiaki took her bike instead (2) with the broken brakes. Yes I numbered the chronology of time correctly lol, that's why there was 01 left.

[@vswobad8126]

I remember when I first watched it, I immediately googled blogs on it, cause I was in disbelief on lack of a solid ending or conclusion of the future. The comment that grabbed me was that this movie ending was Fan Fiction fodder. Truly, we got such a vague idea of what the future is like and when that future is. Then learning about the history of the Aunt Witch made me even more frusterated lol. But that vague ending and uncertain feeling made it stick with me.

[@Katwind]

The point of this film is that you can't waste your time because you don't know what might happen. Telling you what might happen would go against that exact point, so the movie doesn't do that.
