I found this dvd in an old video store about two years ago and didn't get around to watching it until today.
Initially after finishing it I was left with that "wtf did I just witness and why am I mad about it" feeling, but did some digging around for explanations which cleared a lot of things up for me. But quite honestly you really shouldn't need to look things up to understand.
I think the story is a great idea, but making it a movie was a terrible move. Too many ideas and characters weren't fleshed out anywhere near as much as they should've been. All
...
3 male characters featured felt like very forced plot devices for Rin to figure something out or move her along faster. A 12 (or even just 7) episode anime would have done this concept justice.
I REALLY liked the art in terms of style and colors but the seizure inducing shaking single frames as a replacement for animation and poorly utilized cg killed me.
Everyones eyes are so far to the sides of their heads that they could be considered prey animals and yet still wait too long to move from danger despite that advantage.
I love weird and artsy media, even if that means I come across some low budgets and missed potential pieces. I definitely have my gripes about it but could enjoy it for what it was. I can only hope one day a millionaire investor finds this and wants to make it a fully budgeted 12 episode series, but for now, my head hurts and I'm going to put it back on my shelf and keep it there.
