Tokikake

Hilarious, delightful, wistful, light, serious, joyous, heart rendering, and sad all at the same time, "Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo" (The Girl who Leapt Through Time), or "Tokikake" for short, is another unique movie to add to the list of legendary anime of all time. The story follows a girl named Makoto who is mysteriously endowed the powers to leap through time, allowing do-overs and all-night karaoke. Later, Makoto soon realizes the consequences of time travel.

Under the surface of its directive facade, lies a surprising treat of hidden deep plots and serious undertones. The movie definitely has it all and does it flawlessly. If there is one movie you should watch this year, make it "Tokikake." You'll be taken on a rollercoaster ride of emotions...laughing out loud and later brought to tears of joy and sadness, all at the same time.
