| Just watched this last night for my anime film series class. Boy was that one messed up anime. It was really interesting. I guess I gotta watch Kemonzume sometime. |

| I still can't get over how awesomely animated the climax was. |
 |
| I ordered the DVD right after I watched the rip. Just AWESOME. The best movie I have ever seen. |
 |
| Mind Game's a great movie. So surreal, yet so awesome. : D |
 "The Territorial Oak burst into flames!" |
| I saw it too a while ago and its indeed a great movie. Guess its all about about the choices you make. |
 |
| I saw this at the anime convention I went to over the weekend. By the end, I felt somewhat drugged up and in a state of semi-shock. Definitely one of the best movies I've seen. |
  |
| Wow, Masaaki Yuasa never ceases to impress me, and this movie is even more awesome than Kemonozume or Kaiba. 100 minutes of experimental crazyness and pure humanity. Terrific, I wish I had watched it sooner now ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| amazing movie. The style of the animation and the plot are great and suit each other really well. I've gotta watch other movies by this director soon. |
 |
| Just finished this show. I don't wanna call it an anime because that would disgrace the entire existence of anime. This happens to be the only 1 I have ever given, It's the only show I could not bare to watch. I gritted my teeth and sat through it because I don't drop "anime". And I used to be able to say I had never given a 1... |
| Wow, this was an amazing experience. I started watching this because I was tripping and looking for something to watch, this seemed fitting, and it was. Wow. |
 |
| I was AMAZED! |

Why would 8/10 people hate it, people are not that dumb. It's artistic and original, just on that merit, most people would at least appreciate it. Few anime are artistic or original, and this is both. So 10/10 for me. |

| Just watched it today. Really good anime and movie, haven't seen something like that in a very long time. It was just a burst of fresh air. There were a few things I did not understand (the end for instance). But otherwise, it was a very good idea to see it till the end. |
| Exactly it depends on the perspective but to generalize it to 'most people won't be able to understand anything about it' is very simplistic. The message is quite obvious to me - that appetite for life is so strong that one is even ready to reverse time to go back and to fight for a life, regardless of the obstacles and boredom one may feel at times. Regardless of the style and the burst of colors, this movie delivers a message I rarely find in many animes, not that I have seen a lot. But at one point, one or rather I want to be touched and feel that the director does not take the audience for fools. So to reduce the movie to "random colors with no real message behind any of it" is limiting and rather inexact. But as you say, this is your opinion on the anime.

| Just seen this. I need some time to get it all, slowly. The escape sequence is one of the most powerful and complete I've ever seen, on par with the Higashi no Eden one. But this all is on another level. Although, I must admit, I found the scene where "the sister" (can't manage to remember her name) is wearing balloons as breast and womb.. Quite disturbing... That's one of the things I need to think about a lot. :) Instant 10/10. |
| If it gives anyone some thought, I first watched the movie a couple years back, but when rewatching it for the first time in a long, long time, I've got to say I've appreciated it a 100x over now. Second time through was sickening awesome. Maybe I just grew to understand it a bit better over the years, meh, who knows. |
