Japanese animation in this super intricate style is the best of the best entertainment, aside from a few of my person style preferences.
The term, "wretched" is used by the bad guy in part of the film. I think that's my problem and explanation for my review. I lived in Los Angeles ,in the middle of Los Angeles, it is frequently "wretched" unless you're wealthy. Although this is an exaggeration by the Japanese producers, as an American I want you to think if you're OK with this depiction? Maybe we need to see this? But... if you watch this movie, I'd ask you have you seen how the Japanese treat each other, treat their own belongings, and towns and cities? We need to take seeing this well made animation as an opportunity to get better, and be better than others see us, particularly if your A native Angelino, a transplant there, or anyone in California...... unless your life aspirations are to live in a cardboard box, surrounded by roaches on the streets of some city in California!
