It says something about Mamoru Oshii as a director, that he is able to achieve something like making this film and not compromise on the humour and tone that run through UY as a whole. All the elements that this film introduces just astounded me upon first viewing, as most hollywood films similar to this weren't to come along for 9 years (groundhog day being the key example here).
The quality of artwork is quite a leap from the tv series and also the first UY film. For a film made in 1984, it holds up surprisingly well.
All in all, this film will make you wonder where its story is going, what's going to happen next, etc. As i close, i have to ask, isn't that what all the best fiction does?
