Next Wednesday @ 7, in the Stata Center (32-123), there’s going to be a free screening of the anime film “Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo” (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time), plus some sort of talk by its director (!!). While I didn’t notice a big splash from it when it was released, it’s gotten rather good reviews, and I certainly want to check it out, in any case. I think it apparently ranks up there with Makoto Shinkai’s films and even the recent Ghibli ones. Of course, it’s not some huge epic or anything – just a small sci fi/romance story. However, I’m always amused by the time-traveling theme, even though it seems like it’s an overdone plot device.
I hear an Ab-Bb major second resonating in the distance ….
