And I'm not even French. But let's get serious. I didn't know the Manga this was based on, but by trying to bring this alive (pun intended) it failed on many levels. While a low budget might excuse a couple of things (cinematography, lighting, sets, actors), it does not excuse the weak script, that is almost devoid of any humor or coherent plot development for that matter.
Add to that a lingering on peoples faces (to show us the emotions I reckon, but also to stretch this to over an hour, thank you very much) and an inability to transport any message this was meant to have, makes this a dragging slow experience that will probably put you to sleep. There are some nice ideas in the first one (this that is), but it all went downhill from here ... not in a good sense
