I made it about 17 minutes in and asked "why are people rating this so low?" And then I understood.

The story is bad. It's terribly paced and the story isnt really that interesting and it's triggering.

So the art was actually my favorite part. The cityscapes and arcade shots, a lot of the backgrounds, are just really good. Too bad the animation is so bad. Lots of slow panning shots that hurt the pacing mentioned before. The character art wasn't bad, but not enough to save this.

Story
Story line is simple. Some plot questions remain unanswered. Was it consensual or persuaded or rape? Did the main character learn the mistakes of his way?

Now regardless or reason if a person is capable of assisting with an evil act such as rape are they still a guy? I find the answer easy with a no but i will let you think about it.

Art
no complaints. I appreciate given the semi evil underlying nature the movie showed ...
