First of the Project 1000 Special Stage reviews takes us first to a film that easily pisses me off.
Makoto is an average girl who finds a small object in her school, this follows with her death when her bike brakes fail and gets wiped out by a train, only she doesn't die but goes back in time before she sets off on her bike.
Knowing that she now has the power to go back in time she sets about making her life easier but after a while she starts using it to avoid petty situations which leads to disastrous consequences.
As nice and as well written this film is, I have a massive pet peeve with the main character. At no point in the entire movie does she ever fix her bike, the very thing that should've killed her!
It just makes Makoto seem petty, selfish and stupid, that really stops me from supporting her, I shouldn't hate the main character especially in a movie written so well; yeah the Uncle Ben great power, great responsibility line but she's using time travel like a soft reset on a dating sim for just saying the wrong thing.
Not seen the dub but considering what I've said about this film, an English voice would make me hate the film more, not that it would be a bad dub just hearing stupidity in my own language would be more of a trigger.
Final Verdict: A well written film spoiled by an utterly stupid main character.
