Think Grave of the fireflies meets Advent Children meets the Matrix meets Schindler’s List and you’re still not halfway close.
It’s hard to explain this movie, except that’s intense, impressive and most definitely memorable.
Watch it.

Jan 15 2006, 4:34I thought it was alright. Very Sky Captain-ish in the look, but I felt like the movie, especially near the beginning, was trying to tell too much with all the characters and the setting, and only started hitting its paces in the latter half. Though I think I read something about it being an adaptation of some sort of manga-ish comic or something? Maybe it’s rushed bloated start feeling was a symptom of this adaptation process?
but the ending was pretty likeable

Jan 15 2006, 19:04It’s based on the old ’70s anime of the same name.
If there was one thing that poked at me during the entire movie, it’s that the whole thing felt like a giant music video. Then again, Kinriya (who’s also Hikaru Utada’s husband hehe) DID mostly MVs before this…
Whcih brings to mention that if you haven’t heard the OST or “inspired” OST then you should be ashamed of yourself. The “inspired” OST is by far one of the best CDs I’ve ever owned. It has Shiina Ringo, Chihiro Onitsuka, Mondo Grosso….the works. Briliant stuff.

Jan 17 2006, 17:10Story is open for interpretationnn ~(OO~)
The strange special effects mean oftenly, something bizarre or weird or divine intervention and or unexplainable things are happening (~OO)~
It does try to tell too much in beginning, yes and time elapses differently at many parts.
But gotto love the cliche actionnn D:
