Story
Introduction was nice, a tad confusing but nice. It was confusing to me for i am almost always thinking why? Why am i seeing this? What connection is there to this anime? What is to come. But that isn't what this plot's introduction was about. It was about escape and rest. Knowing that now i can't help but reflect upon how much i appreciated that brief moment. Even if was completely plot-less.
Overall story was simple. Given the nature of the crime i am glad it was kept at a somewhat pg-13 level. I say somewhat for word choices could greatly be improved but mainly there was no rape component when there it could have been. Those kind of story are almost always emotional and pains me to see those of innocent in any form of pain.
Was the ending justified? i will let you be the judge. If i present you with a case for example of peanut butter and jelly being the most popular sand-which making. Would you simply be happy with knowing the answer and not knowing more about it? Like why i felt that to be a popular choice? Or why i didn't choose ham and cheese sand-which or so instead? Or why one should care why we are having this debate in the first place? These questions or aftermath thoughts are what haunts me. Which is why i can't be happy when an anime ends just after a verdict is made.
Overall
I thought the movie to be good. A small action movie with some mild form of comedy kept my spirits up and my interests vested. It didn't seem to bore me by making me pray for an ending. I was especially happy when it came to the credits. Not only did the artists/director remind you how this artwork was painfully hand drawn but there was a slight reward for those like me that love aftermath plot.
