The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006)

High-school student Makoto isn't good at timekeeping. Prone to oversleeping, she's often in a rush to not be late for classes, which, coupled with her slightly clumsy nature, can have disastrous results. As summer approaches and the final push into maturity threatens to turn her world inside out, a hard-won realisation that you can't fix everything in life looms at every turn.
The lessons that accompany the coming-of-age concerns are woven into the story wonderfully, as are the relationships that define the school-friends.
A great film on first viewing, subsequent revisits have caused me to fall in love with it more. Although, I do feel that it has a few too many resolutions.
