[Anime Review] The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - Toki Wo Kakeru Shoujo


The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - Toki Wo Kakeru Shoujo

"A very awesome and entertaining anime" -bezoe

When 17-year-old Makoto Konno gains the ability to, quite literally, "leap" backwards through time, she immediately sets about improving her grades and preventing personal mishaps. However, she soon realises that changing the past isn't as simple as it seems, and eventually, will have to rely on her new powers to shape the future of her and her friends.

It is a very interesting storyline of a person who can leap through time. Even thought it is feel a bit generic but actually it isn't. The things that turned out to be a bit more original was near the end, cause basically we didn't know how or who made the leaping possible. As the story progress there's a lot of comedy and sad story revolving around 3 main characters.

The animation have a very strong comical feeling, like the exaggerate facial expression or the body movement and also the "leaping" have full of comedic feeling.

Background design was superb! The background illustration was very well made, it feels really pre-rendered feeling. And what makes it more interesting is the characters was a totally different approach. The character actually feels really vector because of the solid color, and I like that simplicity of the characters design.

The BGM is pretty pleasant, but I love the ED ost (as I'm trying to find it right now).

Bottom line: It's one of anime that I really recommend you guys to watch, because of the unique theme.

Overall Rating: A
