A unique breath of air

Rating: 9/10 (1 December 2002)

ok ok, I read everyone else's review of this movie and was intrigued. I was visiting a friend of mine in another town & this movie was playing. We decided to see it.
The animation is bright and colorful. The action is very smooth. A few small moments when the background becomes a blur during really fast action, but that is normal in most japanamation movies. I'm glad this movie was dubbed into English. The dubs are done well. The animation is very good and works well on the big screen. It is a nice change from the typical Disney that America is so used to.
The plot of this movie is NOTHING like I have ever seen -- live action or animation. This is the reason why this movie is so unique. It is a very strange movie, but for some reason I really liked it. I give it a 9 out of 10. I would have given it a 10, but it was a little too weird for my taste. I think this was a movie completely worth seeing if it is available in your area, but I don't think that it was super duper spectacular as everyone says it is.
