I happened to be on break from class when I and a friend went to local Nerd store in town. I usually go there to check out manga but happened to find a colletion edition blu ray of this movie for a nice price. Whether it actually was a nice price I don´t know but I was satisfied with the purchase. As this also happened to be my first introduction to Masaki Yuasa. (Except for devilman crybaby which did not appeal to me).

The best way to describe this movie is "Experience". This movie is like a roller coaster that you sit and ride on through a fantastical night of wonder. It is weird to say that a movie that lacks in plot and character happened to be one of my favorites ever, but I can´t stress enough on how this film made my heartbeat go up and down, a movie that leaves me in awe.

This is an ensemble movie that features a ton of characters, all colorfull and unique from one another, whose paths moves and intertwines in the events of one night. They all have their goals for the night, which in most cases was to have fun, and I could clearly feel the characters enthusiasm reeking from my screen. By themself they weren´t special but along with beautiful artwork, music and pace made it easy to move from one character to another with bliss and joy.

If I would compare the movie to something else I would compare it to a theme park, one that you can go to all by yourself. A theme park where all the characters are the different attractions and the sub arcs of the movie are different sections of the park. And sure just like the waiting lines in a park, the movie may slow down at parts whenever they switch storyline or character. But in the end, after watching this movie I am left exhausted and tired from all the excitement I had while watching it.

My only regret is that I was not able to experience this in the cinema. But watching it for myself right before I go to bed was still an experience I hope I never forget.
