This is how I felt after watching this film.
What the hell was it all about? Who are the people there, what is their relationship? What is the point? The first movie lefts you confused but still it has a really strange atmosphere.
I noticed some amazing and deep thoughts in this film. "The scenery you see from a high place is magnificent. Even an ordinary landscape looks beautiful. But a vision that's too large creates a boundary between you and the world...." I spent a long time thinking about lines like this one.
Aside from that, which is the most important thing for me, you know deep thoughts, well aside from that you are gonna love the characters. Well on character at least. Shiki...she's so cool, really reminds me Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell, by appearance and even by behavior etc.
The art was beautiful as well, kinda dark and creepy though. However that how it's supposed to be after all. There was also one action scene, kinda epic...hah well everything with music by Yuki Kajiura and Kalafina girls is epic.
That another awesome thing, the music here. Some of the songs became legends and every Kalafina fan knows them.
So I won't make it too long. If you like dark and serious anime with some stuff to think about, this one is for you. And don't worry if you're confused after finishing this. I have seen the second movie today and everything is much clearer know, I guess after the rest it will be alright.
