    Brilliant Animation, Lackluster Narrative
    Absolutely amazing animation. Unfortunately, the story lacks cohesion across the entire film, along with any strong points to the events portrayed. The music scenes were a great highlight alongside the visually brilliant set pieces. But Inu-Oh's singing was laughably bad (particularly his vibrato). The ending also leaves a lot to desire as well.

    I'd recommend this to anyone into unique presentations and doesn't mind a story without a clear point to the overall narrative. Fans of animation will find something to enjoy here. Especially with Inu-Oh's masterful work, artistry, and technical precision. It's definitely cool to observe on a big screen.
