I watched this last weekend on a whim after reading about it on ANN. Yes, medical students do have time to do other things like blog and watch anime.
In a nutshell, I thought it was amazing.
I loved the art, the characters and how the story flowed so seamlessly. My lack of adjectives hamper me from describing exactly how amazing this movie was, and is probably why I'm a medical student and not, say, a movie reviewer.
The anime is an adaption of the 1965 novel by Yasutaka Tsutsui, and revolves around a 17 year old girl who discovers that she has the ability to 'time leap'. She sets about doing rather odd things with her newfound powers - undoing blunders, eating pudding - without truly understanding the consequences of her actions.
Because there always is a moral to the story when it comes to Japanese anime.
She comes to realise that her little actions in manipulating the course of history have dire effects on the people surrounding her, but is it too late to make everything alright in the end?
RUN TIME: 98 minutes
