Well, it's been some time since I watched this flaming pile of garbage, but the feeling of absolute disgust towards it is still present. Controversial opinion alert! Despite obviously low production quality of the last 2 episodes of the original show, I found that to be a much better ending to the series than THIS.
The original show was bombastic and pretentious as well, but one could definitely enjoy it. Most importantly, it tried to make a point. This horrid mass of animation, on the other hand, throws all of it out of the window. There's a rumor going on that when making this movie, the original creator was depressed and totally despised his audience who demanded "a proper ending" to the original series. So this whole movie is a giant "fuck you" to the fans.
The most ridiculous thing is - the fans gobbled it up and called it a masterpiece. It is not. It's pretentious just for pretentiousness' sake. The symbolism pretty much makes no sense what-so-ever and is probably there just to ridicule the symbolism itself and people trying to find a deeper meaning when there isn't one. A lot of the characters were massacred and did not receive not even a hint of the proper conclusion to their stories.
I despise this movie just as much as it despises its audience. Although it's well-made and pretty to look at, watching it was one of the worst experiences in my life. After completing the original series, it was like being thrown into some resemblance of phantasmagorical hell, where everything was a cruel parody of the world I knew.
An absolutely horrible mess that doesn't deserve even the tenth part of the fame it receives. I don't want to write even a single word more about it.
