A new trailer has been released for the 4K revival screening of director Mamoru Hosoda’s acclaimed animated film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. The film will be screened in 161 theaters across Japan.
The movie has been newly remastered in 4K, preserving its original color design while significantly enhancing image clarity and transparency. Through extensive restoration work, visual noise and color haze present in the original footage were carefully removed, allowing the film’s detailed cityscapes, vibrant summer skies, and intricate background art to appear more vivid than ever.
Originally planned for 147 theaters, the release has since expanded with additional screenings announced in Iwate, Yamagata, Fukushima, Gunma, Saitama, Tokyo, Nagano, Osaka, Hyogo, Saga, and Oita prefectures. While the revival is presented in 4K, some theaters and screens may still project the film in 2K.
