The girl who jumped through time ( Japanese 時 を か け る 少女 Toki o kakeru shōjo , or Tokikake for short ) is an anime by the animation studio Madhouse from 2006. It is based on the novel of the same name by Yasutaka Tsutsui .
action
The anime begins with a dream scene by 17-year-old Makoto Konno. In this she plays baseball as usual with her friends Chiaki Mamiya and Kōsuke Tsuda . Makoto is close friends with both of them, all three are of the same age. She is rudely awakened from her dream by an alarm clock falling from the sky and has to find out that she has overslept again. As usual, she rushes to school on her bike and manages to get there just in time. At school, she and her friends and other classmates are surprised to have to take a test. As usual, Makoto does very badly, while Chiaki is quick to finish and sleep. As a result, she is accompanied through her everyday school life, during which she repeatedly experiences a number of mishaps.
When she is about to put down a pile of documents in the preparation room, she is startled by the shadow of a person in the room and falls on an object that looks like a walnut . This gives her the ability to jump into the past for a limited number of times. Still unsuspecting, Makoto sets off on his bike home. During her journey, however, the Bowden cable for the brakes breaks and she races down a slope without braking, at the end of which the barriers to a level crossing have already closed. Much too fast to be able to jump off, Makoto hits the barriers and flies her bike onto the lane, where the train arrives at that moment.
Actually dead, Makoto immediately finds herself at the top of the slope some time before the accident and is given another chance to avert her misfortune. Soon after, she learns to use her ability to travel back in time in major collisions or falls. She uses this ability to undo embarrassing experiences, get to school on time, and get good grades. Over time, however, things change for the worse. She notices that her interventions in time affect other people as well.
She sets up Kōsuke with a girl who confesses her love to him. When Chiaki Makoto also declares his love, she is initially shocked and tries to undo this confession by setting the time back several times, but then accepts it and also develops feelings for him. Meanwhile, Kōsuke borrows Makoto's bike and comes to the same slope as Makoto, races towards the railway line and falls on the rails because of the broken brakes. Chiaki uses his last jump to save Kōsuke.
It turns out that Chiaki is a boy from the future and that it was a mishap on his part that gave Makoto the ability to travel through time. He himself traveled back in time to see a picture that no longer exists in his future. The picture is currently under restoration. However, Chiaki can no longer return to the future because he has used up the fixed number of his time jumps by saving Kōsuke. Chiaki disappears after this explanation. However, Makoto realizes that Chiaki's jump has left her with another jump. She travels back to the near past and tells the Chiaki from this present that she knows everything. Chiaki also got his last jump back through Makoto's jump and returns to his own present with the words “I will wait for you in my future”.

Reviews
"Animated combo of laughs and life lessons charts its heroine's adventures in such an accessible and cheery way, it's easy to imagine her leaping into a Stateside remake."
"The animated juxtaposition of laughter and wisdom shows the heroine's adventures in such an accessible and hilarious way that it is conceivable that an American remake could suddenly appear."
“ The girl who jumped through time presents herself as a successful mixture of laughing and crying. The film is primarily aimed at a young female audience. But every other anime fan who gets involved in the mix of teen drama, romantic comedy and time travel fantasy should feel extremely well entertained by the relaxed, fluffy nature of the film. "
“Regardless of the artisanal, traditional form of a 2D cartoon, the character drawing of the protagonists is of astonishing depth and the story about first love and other problems of kitsch-free honesty. The amalgamation of science fiction film and melodrama gives the anime a lasting tension. "
"Director Mamoru Hosoda [...] manages [...] the leap to a wonderful children's film that shows the emotional world of young people with a lot of humor, but also with the necessary seriousness, by packing them into a fantasy story."
