Well animated but tedious

Rating: 5/10 (25 February 2001)

I rated this movie a 5 out of 10 purely because it is the only anime movie I've ever been able to stand watching all the way through. It is so well animated that about half-way through, you even forget that it is anime. However, the story is boring and hard to follow. I never figured out where this movie was headed, and in the end, I was disappointed and confused.
This movie is too violent for kids, and too tedious for adults. But if you want to prove that it is possible for anime to be done well, you might want to see this movie. Otherwise, I'd advise not renting it.
