- 時をかける少女 [Time-soaring girl] by 奥寺佐渡子, directed by 細田守 (at movie theaters, Japan, 15 July 2006).
In this loose anime adaptation of Yasutaka Tsutsui’s story, young Makoto Konno is thrown into a train crossing on her bike and unintentionally travels back in time to avoid being hit; that leads her to experiment with her ability—yes, with teenaged concerns, but still with charm.
