Tokikake
The first time she discovers that she has this handy ability is when she is about to be hit by a train. She speeds into a rail crossing unable to stop her bike due to faulty brakes - at which point her ability took over and hurled her back a few minutes into the past...
During the first half of the film we see makoto using her time leaping ability for trivial things like being able to spend hours and hours singing karaoke - she would leap back through time so she can enjoy more singing. She also uses up her leaps going back trying to set up couples etc.
Near the end of the film, one of her friends takes Makotos bike - he does not know about the faulty brakes until he is hurled in front of a train. By this time, Makoto has used up all her time leaps and cant leap back into the past to stop the accident. But...
I've always wanted to watch Tokikake (short for Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo(時をかける少女)) since I learned about it from last years Tokyo Anime Fair but never made it to the cinema. Tokikake recently came out on DVD and I snapped it up straight away.
Tokikake is a warm anime that gives you a fuzzy feeling. The animation and music is spot on and the backdrops are fantastic - If I left Japan for whatever reason (very unlikely though), I would watch this anime all the time to catch nostalgic scenes of Japan. There's lots of humor to be had in Tokikake and is intriguing to watch - theres much more to the story than just Makoto leaping back through time. My wife and I enjoyed it thoroughly and recommend it much.

Just finished watching. It was really good just like you said danny. I like anything that has to do with time travel, the consenquences can be dire but these kind of movies really makes you think and reflect on the movie itself.
on a side note: that steep road with the RR crossing is an accident just waiting to happen ;;

It would've been very interesting to see this as a anime meaning it has like episode not just the movie like format it's in but with that said I loved it. It was slow here and there and there isn't much action in it but it's more of a slice of life meets fiction type of thing. Very Very Enjoyable I would give this movie a 8.5/10.

Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo was definitely a very good anime and it remains one of my favourite OVAs out there (heck, my username is even named after the main character in the movie!). It's truly disappointing that it did not receive a massive hit at the box office as I think it should have deserved much more attention and praise than it did. Kudos for the article on Tokikake Danny!

Somehow,no one ever mentioned about Hanako Oku(Garnet,Kawaranai Mono).I've been a fan of hers before Tokikake came out.She composes most of her songs and that innocent voice that relaxes.I would like to recommend her songs to people who always aggravated in an afternoon rush and those who love tea and biscuits i mean,tea time.

What bugged me in this movie is that she is not the brightest one around... But otherwise it was a cool one.
I largely prefer Byousoku 5 centimeters over this.
This movie is really amazing. It was even featured in the JAM (Jpop*Anime*Matsuri) here in the Philippines. Co-organized by Embassy of Japan and Japan Foundation.
