A true masterpiece
17 July 2005
This movie truly is a masterpiece. No matter what way I look at it, there is always something new to see; which is exactly what a masterpiece should be. I have seen this movie about 11 times I think and there were still things I was noticing that I didn't before. The animation is simply gorgeous for this movie. It is even better than the TV series, which in my opinion was pretty amazing, the colours are vibrant, the backgrounds are amazing. The character design is amazing and gives the movie the get go it needs in establishing itself. There is a certain melancholy in everyone's eyes in this movie that I have not seen anywhere else before. Just a close up of a character's face tells you a lot about them and where they fit in.

The sound is just amazing in keeping with all the things the movie wants to be, Toki Ni Ai Wa is just amazing with the motif of floating roses. Zettai Umnei Mokushiroku goes so well in the sequence it is and the story just flows by. The story, seemingly random, is the most complex one I have seen. It is even more complex than the series as so many elements are touched upon in such a short time period. All in all this is truly amazing.

This anime has the most value and enjoyment as well since you have to see it more than once to get the full story and it is enjoyable no matter how many times it is seen. No one should miss it.
