I don’t know if this is too late, but I don’t know if it’d be a good movie to show a Girl Scout troop. It’s almost perfect, with no nudity (save for a few bath shots with nothing illustrated below the waterline) and no violence (a couple of characters die, but off-screen, and it’s reversed), but there’s one brief, teasing reference in passing to masturbation at the beginning of the film. It’s nothing kids that age don’t know about already, but it’s just enough that I’d be a little wary with showing it to kids should some of the kids have parents that would overreact to minor things like that.

(I didn’t write this review, I’m just some random passerby who enjoyed the movie and was seeing what other anime fans thought of it.)

I’m a leader of a Girl Scout anime interest group that has started a series of anime programs at our local library. We’re considering showing The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and I noticed somewhere that it’s rated PG-13.
I have not seen the movie in full, just clips on You-tube, and the only thing I’ve noticed is possible language. Is there anything in this film that I should be concerned about in view of having a screening to the open public?

It seems like it would be a good film for our group, and worth exploring. I look forwqard to hearing from you.

Thanks,
