A perfect piece of beautiful art...

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2001)

One of the most breathtaking animes ever released. The quality of this title is beyond ones fathom. A cast of interesting characters with good actors (not talking about the dub) that really can make you feel for the characters and allures into believing that you are actually watching real characters in motion, in which most live-action movies fail. The story of these characters so intriguingly told, with such depth, in a brilliant and rather violent dance of color, motion, emotion and sound. Animation quality overshadowed by none, musical score so touching and backgrounds so life-like and impressive, makes you wonder how such perfection could be achieved. Totally impressive movie that can be safely recommended for all but the smallest children, for whom the violence might be too much.
One cannot praise this movie enough with mere words, one must see it to believe...
