Really charming. It has a great lighthearted spirit and terrific animation.

Enjoyable and charming time-travel/high-school-'coming-of-age' story not involving major time-travel dilemmas or futuristic scenarios. Has quite a different take on time travel than I'm used to, and doesn't seem to take the whole thing too seriously; which is alright, this being more about a teenage girl and her troubles with love and adulthood than time travel in the first place. Likeable characters all around but a bit un-fulfilling ending.

Light and Playful. Not taking the concept of time travel too seriously fits well with its lighthearted story. If you can enjoy its art in all its simplicity and stop expecting giant robots from the future to start popping you, you'll find that this Anime quite enchanting.

I was surprised how much I liked this film as I'm not an anime fan. Nonetheless, it really hit me. I fell in love with the characters, the story was fantastic, and I teared up a bit. A must-watch, even for those who venture from anime films.

The explanation for this all is beyond ridiculous; insulting, actually. The giggly high school setting, romance, and bland characters also gets old.

The brutally slow pacing resembles a generic anime series more than a movie, and the girl's whining voice became irritating. Most importantly, the film was nothing special in terms of emotional impact, intellectual depth, or sheer entertainment. The deaths were ridiculous, unrealistic, and unnecessary. Repeating the same cliche phrases endlessly or having the character cry miserably don't help matters.The emotional core of the story is a high school romance between two bland characters.Mediocre.

Makoto is paralyzed at a crossroads, fearful of impending adulthood and change, so it's not surprising when she discovers the ability to change reality by traveling through time that she's preoccupied with staving off responsibility. Her methods are clumsy and not always successful, with an emphasis on altering conversations; saying a lot about the adolescent anxiety that everything said or done is of just as much importance to the observer as to them. A unique take on the coming of age movie.

The animation is really awesome, and the story hits on many levels.

Not only is the animation beautiful, but the story offers up many fun little twists and turns. The ending is beautiful as well.

Stylish animé. Beautiful backgrounds and nice uses of slow-mo. A few spectacular moments (the train arrives and just before, a student goes beserk). Some great classical music tracks on the score. These elements, along with the fact that time travelling and coming of age very much is my thing, allowed me to forgive some of the less strong parts, including an underwhelming ending.

Criticker duped me! I thought it would be sci-fi bonanza, but it's really just Buddhism for teenagers, with a story slightly reminiscent of 'Groundhog Day'. Horrible voice acting (well, the laughing and crying bits) ruined key moments, and let me just say this: I wouldn't travel down the stairs from my apartment to see a painting, let alone through time.
