TokiKake

I went to the TokiKake (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time) screening at the Egyptian Theatre.

I went with my anime industry and game industry friends.


This was my first time seeing TokiKake.
I haven't read the novel or seen the movies/TV dramas that came before it.

So I couldn't catch the elements in the film referring to the original story.



There was a panel discussion with the director etc, but I was jet-lagged and couldn't concentrate.


When I was leaving the theater, I was interviewed by a Japanese TV reporter.
Ugh...

What did you think of the movie. I saw it last year during NatsuKomi and I had a good time with it even if it didnt end as strong as it started. Also being a fan of anything Sadamoto made me give it a big thumbs up..

I saw it because it was sorta related to the other MADHOUSE Yasutaka Tsutsui movie, PAPRIKA (which I worked on).
And I also saw it because of Sadamoto-san too.
I liked it, but not as much as I liked PAPRIKA.
It's not something I would go out and buy the DVD...but I would watch it again if I had the chance.

Yeah, we will be screening Paprika at the SF International Film Fest later this month. Should get a good crowd for it (we got great crowds for TokiKake last week at the SF Asian American Film Fest). I love film season but this year is going to be crazy for me... as I will have two seasons. This fall I got the Yamagata Documentary Fest to help with and I'll most likely be staying in Honshuu for the TIFF, since I passed last year.

Ooh, please let me know if you like the translation.
It's such a high-profile movie, I'm worried I did a horrible horrible job.
Especially because I only had a day to work on it.

So you're going to Japan how many times this year?
Lucky you!!
