Do you have it? That precious thing lost in the fabric of time. That relationship, that person, that experience that you wish you could return to? So what would it take, what are you willing to pay, to go back and re live that moment? I think this is the main idea the anime attempt to crack. I like this line of thinking since it is something that everyone, EVERYONE, can relate to (we all have those memories we wish we could be part of again). But, it was not the case, at least not for him. The protagonist does not try to relive an experience, He wants to flee from the present into the past, to that same experience he yearns. Well, the hatred of the present actually blinded him of what he's going to loose, what he's giving up, and only when he payed the price he understand he should not have done at. I find that a really good message, no matter how bad you think your life is, there is always a point of light out there you should try to hold on to. The movie, I think, suggests a nice point of view on our life and the way we perceive it, It reminds me "About Time" but from a different angle. Although some stuff in the movie felt forced and not genuine (Sometimes it felt that things happened because the story dictated that, and not through natural line of cause and effect) I still enjoyed watching it, and I'm sure that you will too.
