I had been thinking about the name Tsutsui Yasushi desperately. When the fresh campus style appeared along with the inexplicable time and space travel, I suddenly returned to the time that belonged to me. In the quiet town, I collected slowly but firmly. I read that set of world science fiction boutique series at my elementary school, my junior high school, my high school, and my blue bicycle. There is a story in that series called "The Girl Who Catches Time". The author is Japanese. It should be Tsutsui Yasutaka. I tried hard to remember only the vague outlines of that story. The movie continued, and their joys and sorrows on the monitor activated my memory of that story, my memory of that time.
Whether it is movies, animations, or novels, the reason I like them is because we all see different things from the same work; things that are closely related to ourselves; things that belong to us. In fact, after watching it with a smile, I realized that it is not talking about ignorant love, not talking about time and space travel gimmicks, it is silently talking about growth, and how it was originally just simply wanting to be together. The quality turns into an unforgettable love story about the time we always have to make hasty and intuitive decisions about our future. After that period of time, we will feel like we have a direction. We will take care of our mood and beliefs and run towards the future.
Just like Makoto, she's cute, she's stupid, she stubbornly wants to hold on to the last spring before she grows up. She looks up dumbly while listening to Qian Zhao's confession on the back seat of the bicycle. She's studying in liberal arts or science or working. In the middle of hesitation, she started to travel through time and space just to sing karaoke for ten hours and eat a bite of pudding. Later, she traveled through time and space to find friends and people around her. She simply believed that she would do everything well. Everyone is happy. However, when she tried her best to save Gongsuke herself, she was bruised and bruised; when she got the truth of Qian Zhao but faced an eternal separation; when she was crying on the rooftop alone, When she went back to the past but would never hear Qian Zhao's sincere confession, she already felt the pain of growing up and the loss of facing a world she didn't understand. So, when Aunt Witch told her that you are the kind of person who can run to meet the future, when Qian Zhao told her at the last moment before she left that I am waiting for you in the future, when she finally decided her future path, When she looks at the blue sky with a confident and resolute smile, she already knows that she will not lose her way in the unknown world. She has crossed the hurdle of growth, she knows her future, her love, all is waiting for her, waiting for her to run past in great strides.
I like this feeling with all my heart, although it is not very similar to the old novel from before. The only name I know in the production lineup is Sadamoto Yoshiyuki, but it is a name that can evoke some memories. Speaking of blackboards The phrase "Time waits for no one" that appears repeatedly on the Internet is really not reminiscent of the masterpiece EVA in my heart. "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" is a sketch-style animation, a movie that permeates the true meaning of life. It makes me hope that one day I will be able to walk through that hurdle and run towards my future like Makoto.
