This flick intrigues and doesn't dissapoint.
The beginning of the film not only drew me into the plot, but made me empathize with a realistic (if not real) character. Also appreciated by myself is how the actions of the protagonist were given relevancy by the introduction.
The animation itself is well done. The characters are accurately designed. The landscapes are becoming. The flow of movement too I found to my liking: like an anime without the flashing stillframes.
The audio was generally well done. The music is very appropriate and enhances the moods of the scenes. The dialogue is also appropriate for the context and well planned. The voice acting is ok, though it could use some variation: it sounds like the same guy talking the whole time.
Overall a very good movie and I really hope there will be a more to follow up.
