The story is ambitious and tries to tell an interesting tale, however, there isn't much depth here, and most of the story ends up just being a big set-up for the action scenes, which fail to impress due to the lackluster animation.
The dialogue is another element that I didn't enjoy very much, which not only feels poorly written, but the quality of the recording also sounds really poor. Audio is boosted up by a semi-decent soundtrack, but it's not enough to justify the overall poor audio mix.
Characters start off giving a poor first impression, but end up being mildly interesting by the end, however, even at the end, they still manage to feel kind of one-dimensional, which is a bit troubling.
Overall, Haruwo is a small time production that tries to be more than the sum of it's parts. It's ambitious, but ultimately is not very good, and not something I'd recommend to anybody.
