For a 2006 movie I was heavily disappointed. The graphics are so bad it seems like they did it on purpose or put no effort into it. Not only the special effects are bad the characters look like they come from the 80’s. This film looked older than it is but what makes it worse is the plot and ending. I wasn’t a real fan of the anime of which this is based off, I’ve heard many good things about the manga and I’ve heard many negative aspects about the anime, mainly being the crying and “sad” music being overused. Well the anime is ok at most but I can understand that some people may enjoy the constant crying, emotional stuff etc. But this movie is on another level, a lower level that is. This movie put me off, I ended up skipping through it and I think the main reason is because of the poor visual quality.
