[spoiler] This movie has an ending that has always stuck with me, the music mixed with the destruction of the Ziggurat and the art style is truly awe inspiring. The monochromatic ending made me feel quite sad for Kenichi, as I felt as if I had also lost a friend.[/spoiler]

6/10 Watched it with a friend, my friend is a big anime fan. I am not. He wanted to see this movie for a long time and I wanted to try this new genre for me. The story was okay, don’t have much to compare it with within this genre. The graphics where amazing especially when you realize this movie is over 20 years old. The music was great, it dit not fit with the movie at all and that made it great. We laughed so hard at the end, the music was just terrible and great, hahaha. My friend enjoyed it a lot, for me it was okay. Have seen better but have seen way worse to. If it wasn’t for the amazing graphics, music and fun I had this would have a got a 3 or 4. Also says a lot about whit who you watch o movie. We can watch the worst movie ever and have the best time ever. It didn’t turn me into a anime fan. But I am open to watch another anime movie in the future with my mate.

Typical anime with spectacular visuals and oddball storyline. Worth seeing for those visuals, though.
