Today we're going to discuss one of Mamoru Hosoda's anime films. It's my introduction to his work and, overall, it was a fantastic introduction that has me excited to see the rest of his work. This video is basically a review of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, with a focus on plot and themes. Later on, I may make a video on Hosoda's directorial style, as it is something brilliant that I didn't mention in this video for the sake of focusing on a more specific topic. I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for watching :)
