I tried watching this anime when I was in high school, but couldn't get into it. Nearly 13 years later, I decided to give it another shot.
The art style is good, and the soundtrack is phenomenal. Sadly, that's all this anime has going for it. The story is alright...I do really like the premise, but how the producers carried it out onto the big screen is pretty lackluster and almost seems half-a$$ed. The dialogue was ghastly, and cheesy in most cases. There were a lot of..hiccups in the story progression that made me feel like I missed an episode somehow or that the episodes weren't consistent, and things that didn't make sense...like a character that was with the group a second ago is now elsewhere almost as if they were never in the group in the first place.
And the ending was terrible. We're left with a huge cliffhanger and things left unexplained.
Overall, this anime was a big disappointment.
