Something beautiful...

Rating: 9/10 (26 September 2006)

I'd always heard good things about this. Even in "1001 movies you must see before you die," it was there. And let me tell you it didn't fail meeting my expectations.
Beautiful drawings, excellent voice actors (please do yourself a favor and watch with subtitles, not dubs), this film was ahead of its time. Showing Tokyo at its worst, it also shows what good is alive. This movies is a classic and even if you're not an anime fan, you should see this one. For those who've read the manga and found the movie disappointing, well there's a good reason for that. It's a movie. It's rather hard finding time to fit in all that information. Although, I do recommend the manga also.
Coming out of darkness and the end, there is light and a new beginning.
