Please watch The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (now out in theatres, go!) if only because you will crack a rib from all the laughing. Them Japanese will always, in the middle of a breezily overused time-travel plot, plunge in right where it hurts with sweet wisdom: love bumps and shifts in clumsy, fickle fashion, but will someday be ready in a quiet and well-structured future.
There is too much crazy, romantic energy in here for me to believe Japanese writers pull cynical every day I have read their works.
