Primary
The film explores universal coming-of-age themes such as personal responsibility, the consequences of one's actions, and the value of friendship, without engaging in political discourse. Its focus on individual growth and the natural progression of life keeps it firmly in the neutral category.
The movie features an entirely Japanese cast, reflecting its cultural origin, and does not engage in explicit racial recasting of roles. Its narrative focuses on themes of youth and time travel, portraying its characters and relationships neutrally or positively without critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
The film does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers on a heterosexual coming-of-age story involving time travel and friendships, thus rendering the LGBTQ+ portrayal N/A.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2006 film introduces new main characters, Makoto Konno, Chiaki Mamiya, and Kōsuke Tsuda. While it is an adaptation of a novel, the original protagonist, Kazuko Yoshiyama, appears as a supporting character and retains her female gender. No established character from the source material or prior adaptations has their gender changed.
The 2006 anime film adapts a Japanese novel and features characters consistently depicted as Japanese, aligning with the source material. There are no instances where a character's race was changed from its established depiction.
