Story: 9/10
(Read the actual plot on MAL for more info)
Hamaji, a young girl hunter living alone, gets a letter from her brother living in edo, to come and help him with hunting, Hamaji goes to edo to help her brother out and ends up meeting Shino, a very beautiful guy with shiny silver hair, and she runs into him a few more times later on trough out the story. In this movie there are 'Fuse' part human, part dog creatures that eat the orbs from humans, when beheaded they die. (Okay, I suck at explaing things and I don't want to just copy and paste the plot from MAL because that would be stupid.) but anyways, the story dose sound a little cliche, sure. You probably think 'Oh, another InuYasha wannabe or something.' But it's actually pretty good and heartwarming. Makes you feel all fuzzy inside after it ends. Like you feel after you finish a good Ghibli movie. :)
Art: 9/10
They art was very good and eye pleasing with much detail to the background and scenery, Not really focusing on the people, they they where nicely done too. Another part that reminded me of Ghibli.
Also, they where not scared to use lots of Blood, another plus side imo. ;)
Characters: 9/10
The characters wheren't cliche, they where funny and I didn't feel like ripping my hair out watching any of them. I fell in love with Hamaji, she was such a strong, brave, beautiful and passionate girl.
Shino was hot, mysterious and interesting. He ate people orbs, and he wanted to eat Hamaji's too, but he tried very hard to fight his hunger, and not harm her.
Overall: 9/10
It was funny, I laughed, cried a little and smiled like crazy while watching this movie. It was very exciting and I can't wait to own it on DVD. ^_^
It's def one of those 'feel good' movies and I recommend it to people who enjoy movies like that.
(Okay, now I can take my sleepy self to bed. //yawn)
