"Time waits for no one."
Makoto Konno is a female high school student who is very carefree and wants to enjoy her life. One day, Makoto accidentally receives the power to travel through time and then she discovers her power few days after she had received it. Makoto doesn't question how she received her power, instead she uses her power to make her life easier such as getting hundred percent on her exams or getting out of troubles. However, every time she uses her powers for herself, the negative effects are carried over to the others. Realizing the consequences, Makoto tries to fix them but as she does that, she finds out how she got her powers.
Overall, the story was very humorous and entertaining, but it also has serious and heartwarming parts in there as well.
Characters were set out nicely, like how Makoto is a girl that I can relate to because just like her, I want to go back and change the past.
Makoto's friends, Chiaki and Kosuke are very rounded characters as well, so they play the supporting roles nicely.
One part of the movie that was memorable was a scene where Makoto's friend was confessing his love to Makoto but she didn't want to answer him so she kept going back in time to prevent that but the confession scene kept happening over and over again, so I laughed hard at that part. This animated film has received nice reviews from Japan as well as in other countries, and it has won several awards and was recognized as "Animation of the year" on 2007.
This movie was very entertaining and is recommended to anyone who enjoys stories about time travelling.
