As mentioned in this posting, The Japan Foundation, Toronto and the Toronto Animation Arts Festival International (TAAFI) are presenting a series of anime film screenings and lectures for free.
The lectures are to complement the film screenings. I haven’t seen the one lecture that has already happened. There is one taking place tomorrow explaining how anime is a media mix. It starts at 6:30 p.m. at The Japan Foundation, Toronto’s office at The Colonnade, 131 Bloor Street West.
On Tuesday evening, I went to see The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. The little theatre was full, which I wasn’t expecting. The movie itself was unexpectedly good and funny. I really enjoyed watching this film.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is about a teenage girl who discovers she can time travel or, as described in the film, time leap. The young girl tries to use this time leap ability to her advantage on several occasionsto avoid or redo certain situations (good or bad). She then finds out the reality of tampering with time and it’s unexpected results.
