Yesterday i went to watch an anime called “The Girl who Leapt Through Time”, shown at GSC Midvalley and GSC 1 Utama. Normally animes are rarely ever shown on cinema’s but this would be an exception. This was to commemorate the Japanese Film Festival of 2008 recently and boy oh boy was there alot of japanese movies from Ultraman to a show called Bondage (No it isnt pr0n). This wasn’t the only anime i saw this month though, i also saw another anime called “Evangelion 1.0: You are (Not) Alone.” This was shown at Cineleisure Damansara as an international screening and my friend managed to win premier tickets to watch it 2 days before it was out.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
The Girl who Leapt Through Time's main character Makoto.
Synopsis
A high school girl, Konno Makoto, obtains the power of the “time loop”, an ability to leap time, following a car accident. Makoto starts using the power to satisfy her trifling desires. However, her best friend, Tsuda Kosuke, gets involved in an accident because Makoto selfishly changed the past.

There’s actually alil bit more of the synopsis but i cut it out cause it would spoil the story. Produced on 2006, it is a 98 minute movie that has a story to tell. The word “Time waits for no one” shows that whatever you do to slow down your age perhaps, time will not slow down for you. This show does have a happy ending though, unlike another called “5 Centimeters per Second” that had a very sad sad storyline through out the anime. But these 2 anime’s do talk about life though, and how it is in the world.

Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone
Evangelion 1.0: You are (Not) Alone
Synopsis
14-year-old boy Shinji arrives in Tokyo-3, a heavily fortified outpost that’s survived “Second Impact,” a calamity leaving humankind vulnerable to alien machines referred to as Angels.
Last hope for survival rests with government agency NERV (whose motto reads, “God is in his heaven, all is right with the world”) and its gigantic Evangelion fighting artillery, a human-mechanical hybrid designed by Shinji’s distant father, Gendou.

What can i say about this incredible anime. Its a legend among many anime watchers, an extremely hot selling product/figurine/movie/comic/music thing. The thing that makes it real famous is particularly 2 characters named, Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Soryu (more so to Rei and her famous smile scene). This isnt a movie of Evangelion though, but a remake of the series, better looking and better sounding (Angel’s Shriek and Eva01’s Berserk Shout, Music, Etc). This is only the first episode of it, showing the first 3 angels which are Sachiel, Shamshel, and lastly Ramiel (Ramiel was remade to look wicked nice). It ends with the most famous thing of all, Rei Smiling.
Tickets and Bookmark of the Evangelion 1.0: You are (Not) Alone. Yes i took two like a greedy pig and yes i took this picture with it on my bed cause i came home at 11.30-12ish and was tired.
