Fairly good anime for children.

Story:
Nice simple plot about cheerful little girl with good imagination, who needs to believe in her self in order to save her new friends.

Art:
3d graphics. Nothing extraordinary, but very cute from time to time.

Characters:
As deep as they need to be for the purpose of explaining the values of friendship, trust and courage to the 5-year-olds. Evil is dark and misty, Good is bright and shiny.
...
Enjoyment:
If you are 5-year-old (or have a mind of a 5-year-old), you gonna watch it over and over again and sing "pengi pengi yona-yona pengi" all day long!... )

Romantic fairy tale with big accent on visual art, which sadly did not contribute to the quality of animation.

Story:
I give 8 to the intrigue that took place before the story begins and reveals in the final part. It has love and sacrifice, devotion, friendship, betrayal and forgiveness. On the other hand, the adventures of the main character are somewhat boring and predictable, so i give it 5 at most.

Art:
If you can draw, it doesn't mean that you can make animation. Beautiful stills + zoom in and zoom out - not the type of art I look for in anime.
Hence 7 for the graphics, 5 for ... the animation.

Characters:
Idealized mythological figures without development. Beautiful at their places, but too plane and defined to be believable.

Enjoyment:
I'm glad that I've watched it to the end, because the ending was the most tragic and involving part. I don't see myself ever watch it again though.

This is one totally underrated piece.
I watch low rated films with my finger on the "skip" button, just to make sure that I'm not missing out. This time I didn't use it even once.

Story:
One of the rarest occasions when you watch fantasy/Sci-Fi/supernatural and in the end everything make sense. The plot is not too twisted, but well thought through. No Deus ex Machina, no "figure it out for your self" parts. The story flows smoothly and the ending is not trivial, but conclusive.

Art:
The style is a bit old, yet thoroughly done, nothing extraordinary, except for the fight scene, that was pretty intense and visual (blood ... and guts all over).

Characters:
Yea, that is the best part. Usually I'm not just picky, I'm fastidious. But in this anime every one was in his rightful place: the villain, the victim, the defender and the protagonist caught in between. The movie is short, so don't expect tonns of inner-world revelations, but on the other hand you won't see flat "fill the space" characters.

Overall:
I've enjoyed it big time. Probably will rewatch it some day. Very simple, yet respectable quality action-anime, with Sci-Fi twist and a bit of romance. Btw, shonen-ai in this movie exists only for those who reeeally wonna see shonen-ai and will find it anywhere, for the rest its just romance.
