The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - live action movie
So... being stuck in bed cause of my morning sickness-turned all day sickness has been hard (seriously, ginger doesn't help and everyone is swearing by it T_T). But I've had some movies to help me through. I watched the live action adaptation of Toki o Kakeru Shoujo - The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and it was pretty good. I can't seem to find a really good trailer, but here's one:
Time Traveller - The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Riisa Naka - who did the voice in the anime - plays the lead, Akari. Attempting to leap to 1972, she accidently ends up in 1974 instead and sets out to deliver her mother's message with the help of her new friend Ryota. The time leap itself is a little odd, but the other effects aren't too bad. I really enjoyed the balance of discovery, drama, and comedy - I found myself giggling, aww-ing, and crying. It's a little over two hours - so be prepared to let the story gradually build. It's well worth it, in my opinion, and by the time the movie reached its climax and ending my attachment to the characters made it all the more bittersweet.
If you enjoyed the novel or the anime version, then give this a shot as well.
If you haven't leapt into the title before (see what I did there?), then this is as good of a time as any. It's currently available on Netflix.
