Top Critics Reviews

The imagery with which director Rintaro brings this world to animated life is unique and captivating.

fresh:
It smoothly blends outrageously diverse visual styles and emotional tones.
– Lisa Alspector,

rotten:

– Derek Elley,
Variety,
18 Oct 2008

A fairly standard genre exercise, packed with light, detail, color, noise, and motion that add up to relatively little.
