Beyond Ghibli: Anime Movie Nights - "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" (Mamoru Hosoda, 2006)

What:

We have officially run out of Studio Ghibli films! But let's continue with the spirit of our Ghibli Movie Nights by watching some other wonderful anime that Hayao Miyazaki himself would have been proud to conceive and direct!

 

  • When: Every Friday at 8:30 PM (ending approx. by 11:00 pm)
  • Where: KCECH 1938 Lounge (snacks and refreshments provided)
  • No RSVP required: just show up, and feel free to bring your friends!

 

This Friday we will be screening Mamoru Hosoda's 時をかける少女, Toki o Kakeru Shōjo ("The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, 2006), produced by Madhouse. The film, based on a 1967 novel with the same title, is about Makoto Konno, a teenage girl who gains the power of time travel and repeatedly relives the same day in a time loop. Makoto begins using the time-leaps frivolously, to avoid being late, get perfect grades, avoid mishaps and even relive a single karaoke session for several hours, but soon discovers her actions can adversely affect others...

 

We will not be there on this occasion, since we have another commitment, but please come enjoy the film and the snacks!
