Two pirate movies

..pirate(d) movies.

Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo had recently been out for a little while now and after seeing so many positive reviews about it, I couldn't resist any longer. In short, it's excellent! Loved all the characters, the pacing, the animation & the story. Makoto, the lead female, finds that she has the ability to leap through time without making a constipated face and with that new power, she goes back to fix little things in her life. She's a great character; not too bright, fun, silly & kind. Her two best friends, Chiaki and Makoto, are supportive and endearing. This movie doesn't set any precedents, but it feels new and refreshing. It's simply a wonderful, funny slice-of-life story with a tiny sci-fi twist. ~9/10 rating~ Totally satisfying, but minus one for a dull ending theme song.

Naruto: Great Excitement! The Animal Riot of Crescent Moon Island or the 3rd Naruto movie. Nicely animated, but a very boring story. Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura & Rock Lee escort a whiny prince and his entourage back to his country. I basically fast-forwarded to the fight scenes. Some people watch football, I like animated ninjas. Rock Lee had an exceptionally fun fight scene. ~5/10 rating~
