Anime of the Week - Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo 時をかける少女, (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time)
Haven't you ever wished you could rewind time? This is the power that comes into Konno Makoto's possession but what does she use this power to do. To go back through history and save the world from war or to steal money from banks. No, nothing of the kind. Makoto uses the power to avoid being late for classes and to avoid troublesome moments with her two best friends, Chiaki and Kousuke.
This anime is like a slice of life drama in that it has a really simple pace and story but this does not detract from it's awesomeness. It has moments of sadness and hilarity especially the way that Makoto leaps through time. The story unravels to reach a dramatic climax which shows that changing the past can have dangerous consequences.
I really enjoyed watching this anime from beginning to end although I found her crying totally annoying. Thankfully, it doesn't happen too often. On the otherhand, Imy kun loves her crying and finds it adorable. So, see everyone's taste is different.
Watch the trailer and decide if you want to watch this anime of the week.
