The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, a review by Achim

My thoughts:
What can I say about this movie? I simply love it! It became my favorite movie of last year. Even though I saw it 3 times during the last 6 months I had to include it in this marathon. I like it how in the beginnings the time jumps are simply played for fun but it gets more serious as the movie goes on. Sadly there is no RC1 release yet, but it is said to be coming this year. I recommend to watch out for it! Also there is a Korean 3-disc release with English subtitles available (the German release has only German and Polish subtitles).

George Lazenby had potential as Bond in my opinion.
I found the first half of the movie rather boring, but it did pick up with the second half.
Although I find it unrealistic, that Bond would fall in love this fast, I nevertheless liked it, that they got him married followed with such a tragic ending.
