pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2006)

i usually hate anime, and anything involved in Japanese culture, but i was fascinated by this movie from the first moment. it has a feminist-naturalist theme that intrigues me and i like the ending (which i will not say here). however, there are a few things i didn't like about the film. first off, i saw it in Japanese, and like i said, i don't like the culture.however, for those of you out there who like Japanese culture, you could find this movie very wonderful. i only give it an 8 out of 10 because it is Japanese, but what i loved was that the film was also good for adults, and it talked about things that most cartoons don't talk about. usually, its anvils and TNT, but this movie moved me to the depths because of the integrity of the characters. they all seem real and even the smallest character adds something very important to the story. in short, watch this movie even if you aren't and anime fan.
