The Girl Who Leapt Through Time I’m having some trouble expressing what I think about this. Overall, I liked it a lot more than Summer Wars. Sorry if I sound a bit unintelligent and disjointed… I loved the ending, when they’re sitting together on the grass and Chiaki never says what Makoto wants to hear. I don’t think she cried because she thought he doesn’t like/love her, but because she’ll never see him again. But why? Previously when she cried, I thought it was because she wasted her time leaping chances on stupid things. Anyway, back to the end, when she cried, I felt very sad for her too, and was almost moved to tears. And I never ever cry as a result of a movie. (The only time was Tarzan, and that was over 12 years ago lol.) So when Chiaki came back, I was expecting him to kiss her. What he did and said instead made me even sadder :( The whole ending is very thought-provoking. Makoto has a very nice school life. She has two guy friends who are very fond of her…as seen in the movie, her situation doesn’t seem to be very common. But what makes her so special? what makes Chiaki so special? He’s mysterious? But whatever, sometimes it’s good enough to be adored and loved by a person like him….who she might never see again. But the whole time I was thinking about how he promised her they’ll see each other again in the future, I was thinking, how idealistic. How childish and naive, like her aunt. She’s still waiting right? Her aunt’s is supposed to be like a sort of parallel isn’t she? People grow up and move on (hopefully).   I love the bittersweet ending. I really like these kinds of endings.  Also, I didn’t like the epilogue or whatever, when Makoto and Kousuke are discussing Chiaki. If there’s a serious version of this just focusing on Makoto and Chiaki, I think I’d love it. I already really like this, but somehow I feel like I sat through a lot of Makoto’s school drama just for the excellent ending. I don’t mean Kousuke, but people like that fire extinguisher guy. The music was really good too.
