I added the covers of the old manga (Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo) to the post above.
The new manga (Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo TOKIKAKE) that started on 26/4/2006 in Shounen Ace magazine will be the manga version of the movie. |
Man, I just love Sadamoto´s artwork. It´s looking great, and I´m really looking forward to it.
Don´t forget to checkout the trailer people: http://www.kadokawa.co.jp/tokikake/i...=info#20060404 Also, It would be great if someone could explain anything from their blogposts..! http://www.kadokawa.co.jp/blog/tokikake/ Thanks! |

Yeah, it does look great. now I'm looking forward for this even more :D |
Ah, so this is what that is. I keep seeing this in Newtype JP. The trailer looks very promising indeed. I like the character designs. I'm getting a sort of Earth Girl Arjuna vibe off of it and maybe a little Mimi Wo Sumaseba especially in the little details like the ladybird and the the wooden clock/chimes.
Madhouse seem to be pretty busy at the moment with this, Kiba, Yume Tsukai, Black Lagoon and others... |
I added the cover of the new shounen manga to the first post :P (it will be released on 26/7/2006)

Just saw the movie that just came out last saturday.
I didn't know about the manga, but let me tell you it's awesome. Perfect sets, cute heroin, great plot, great music, and of course good animation and good voices. I'm not sure this would never be licenced for a theater release in Europe or the US but why not in DVD? Right now I feel like reading the novel. :D Everyone in Japan, don't even hesitate to have a look at it, this is more than "juvenile", it's moving and funny, nostalgic in a way. Ok, I loved it. I guess it's because I had a real shitty day I wish I could take back. :heh: |
It was published in France under the title "La Traversée du Temps" (roughly translated as "Cross through Time"), I had the novel from my school when I was ten. I fucking enjoyed it, the ending was kind of bittersweet.
I learnt about its adaptation as animated movie just today, but I didn't know it was that until I saw the name of the author of the original work and figured out I had the book in my belongings all along. I am so wanting to watch it. Time travel being one of my favorite themes in the science-fiction genre. So I am hoping that the french import the movie in their ground because of the past publishing of the book here. |
I checked that after posting. Now I remember my college teacher quoting Tsutsui in a lecture. I'll definitely read it when i have the chance.
And as I said, this is a really good movie, you won't regret it. I'm just wondering if it hasn't been a bit "simplified" to fit in 100 mins format. :confused: |
I read that this got 4.7 out of 5 :D so it must be good. Gedo Senki on the other hand only got 3.2 or something like that (I remember it getting an average point).
You can find a summary for the movie here: http://www.designchronicle.com/memen...mpression.html Does anyone know when the DVD is coming out? |

We (Saizen) are going to sub it. |
I have the novella. It's good. It's fairly short, and the Japanese is pretty easy. The story was atmospheric and interesting. It's no wonder it has been adapted so many times. I'm looking forward to seeing it animated. I haven't seen the live-action movie, but it's around.

Now where can I get my hands on the novel in a language I can read, hmm... (Oh, Amazon.fr has the french version... arr, but shipping is so costly.) |
I stumble upon this anime when i was browsing about for information on Okami and found out it won the 2006 Japan Media Arts Festival award for the animation category. No idea how acclaim this award is but it beats anime like
a) GITS SAC: Solid State Society b) Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi c) Mushishi so it must be something to watch for. Japan Media Arts Festival 2006 Award website http://plaza.bunka.go.jp/english/fes...hin/index.html |
April 20th?! Wow that's only 10 days from now! (I know that it'll take a while to sub it after it's released, but even so....) Let the countdown begin! :heh:
|
Yeah, I know. I hope Saizen subs it fast. Can't believe how long I've waited for this to come out.
|
Well the raw has been out in tokyo (*Hint, Hint*). Anyway, anyone got a chance to watch it? I downloaded it just because I'm really curious and exited to watch this. I won't watch the whole thing, I'll probably just skim through it.
Anyone know who's subbing this besides Saizen? |

I've read plenty of rave reviews about this movie on Japanese blogs. Lots of voices saying it was the best anime of 2006.
|
It is the best anime movie of 2006 in my humble opinion. I give it a 9.6 out of 10 awesome anime points.
