RTMetro Newspaper (UK)Sep 19, 2008

Warm and engaging, this has its cutesy moments and crazy Van Gogh-inspired time-travel fantasy visuals but remains appealingly grounded in relatable, sublimated adolescent fears of growing up.

RTDaily Telegraph (UK)Sep 19, 2008

Beautifully-drawn Japanimation about a time-hopping schoolgirl, by turns wondrous and a little too hyper.

The characters are entirely credible and likable, the simply drawn figures highly effective against the lush background artwork. Time travel has rarely seemed so joyous.

A coming-of-age tale that’s elevated by its flights of fantasy.
