The Wonders of [Hidden] Fansub Translation Notes

This post is brought to you by GomPlayer, a wonderful media player, which is sadly, very much underrated kinda like Opera.

The first time I watched Toki o Kakeru Shoujo dates back to approximately 8 months ago, and the reason why I never mentioned about it in the blog is because I never found it to be anything special. Seleria raved about how she loved the movie (personally, not in the blog, sadly T_T) and I never really understood how she felt, until my second rewatch of Tokikake on the big screen, where I found myself falling in love with the movie, for the very first time.
