The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (時をかける少女 Toki o Kakeru Shōjo?) is a 2006 Japanese-animated science fiction romance film directed by Mamoru Hosoda and written by Satoko Okudera. A loose sequel to the 1967 novel of the same name by Yasutaka Tsutsui, it shares the basic premise of a young girl who gains the power of time travel, but with different story and characters than the novel. The film was produced by Madhouse and distributed by Kadokawa Herald Pictures. Riisa Naka voices Makoto Konno, a teenager who inadvertently gains a mysterious power. She learns from her aunt Kazuko Yoshihara—protaganist to the original story—that she has the power to travel through time. Makoto begins using the time-leaps frivolously to fix problems.

tokyo fucking godfathers

[sev]

redline makes my dick hard

would watch tokyo godfathers or the girl who leapt through time though

[Bogswallop]

Tokyo Godfathers is one of my favourites.

[iinnkk]

i really want to see the girl who leapt through time and tokyo godfathers since i've never seen them!
(already saw redline, i own summer wars, and the other two i've never heard of but they look good, just not as interesting)

[dilly]

i really want to see the girl who leapt through time and tokyo godfathers since i've never seen them!

second

[naturally]

piano no mori 'cause it's the only one i haven't seen

they're all great though

[Fluffkomix]

I vote the girl who leapt through time because that movie is amazing and i haven't seen it in a few years.

Just make sure you get a good translation. Second time i watched it her name was changed to "Little Piano" and every time she got hurt she would yell out "GOOD PAIN!"

[Fluffkomix]

i accidentally voted for summer wars when trying to vote for girl who leapt through time so please reallocate my vote

[sev]

it probably doesn't matter, looks like it's gonna be tokyo godfathers

[Gladius]

where the bloody hell is boondocks?

[rtil]

i can't change votes, sorry.

however, you can vote for two movies, although i don't think you can revote after you have initially voted. i'll see if i can change that for next week.

tokyo godfathers is the clear winner, i'll make the thread now.

the lesson here is
