The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

I love The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. It is one of my favorites. But then again I’m a sucker for the whole boy/girl high school friendship stories. Hana Yori Dango is another favorite. I don’t know what it is? Is it the innocence, the true, non-gender friendship, before the falling in love? Who knows and I didn’t start this post to try to figure it all out.

Anyways, there’s a new live-action movie coming out. Directed by Masaaki Taniguchi, starring Riisa Naka, Akiyoshi Nakao and Narumi Yasuda. At first I was disappointed in hearing that they changed the storyline. But now after seeing the trailer, I’m excited about the movie.

Thanks to Nippon Cinema for your post, you can read more about the movie on his site. I wish I didn’t have to wait until March 2010, well of course after that I’ll have to wait until it gets subbed in English and sent over to the US. Ok, Japan Film Society, make it happen, bring it to LA next year.
