Norimichi and his friend Yuusuke are both challenged by the girl they like, Nazuna while on pool cleaning duty. She invites the winner out on a date to the see the fireworks but when things go wrong, Norimichi discovers that the glass orb Nazuna had picked up allows him to travel back in time. He decides to use it to correct the problems he has come across since the day of that challenge at the pool.
This is an Anime movie that's based on a live action movie from back in 1995. The promotional art looked quite interesting for this movie and for the first third of the movie it's quite tranquil. I quite enjoyed the peaceful countryside setting.
You had your usual high school kids messing around, going to school, boys casually talking about boobs and panties setting. It turns out to be another time travel high school romance kind of movie where someone tries to fix things by re-doing events except the scripting is very boring... Until the end anyway which was pretty creative. Most of the movie was very uneventful and you don't really feel like the problems Norimichi goes back in time to resolve are that big a deal from it. Japanese voice acting's bland, the 3D models don't fit it that well.
I suggest watching Hosoda's version of TokiKake (2006) instead. It's better than this in every aspect.
