Anime Review 263 The Girl Who Leapt Through Space

As an anime collector, I tend to look for something to cover in my blog review series.  Whenever it's a popular or niche title that I own, every time I look at a show/movie I would often envision myself going back in time to the point where I purchased that show and why I made that purchase to begin with. Was it the cover that applied to me, was it the premise that intrigued me, was it a popular show that people loved, or was it a cult classic or even a niche hidden gem. These are possible answers that I usually answer to myself whenever I look at a show in my collection.
