Characters 10/10
The characters portrayed within this is very realistic to real life. There is so much uncertainty about the career move she made and doubt whether she would survive within it. It is not only shown exclusively to her, but those around her doubting her and those who manipulated her to force her into the role that she is not meant for.
Animation 10/10
The animation for its time is a 10/10 and to this day the animation is still better than most animation that came out today. Even though is a bit aged, but its still a a great level of animation quality that they have put into. Therefore, this is definitely a classic anime. Now, this may sound a little funny, but this anime fucks you up mentally, and when I say it fucks you up. It fucks you up in a good way because the ending of it is very satisfying.
Conclusion
This is a great movie and portrays the real-life career choices that people make. Not everyone is satisfied to move on to a new career. Some even question there move and not everything is happy go lucky type of move. As most anime portray characters in a stereotypical fashion, this doesn't. This mostly focuses on the career decisions and those around her doubting her with great care of details to give every character a sense of everyday personality.
