this shit is awesome and beautiful. are you kidding me?? I found it inventive and I liked the intensity between the main slew of characters, I loved the art, I loved the mystery of the world and of these opposing groups... loved the eyeball lick... love the manipulation... so much jam packed into such a short little thing and doesnt overload you by trying to spell out every detail or confine itself to sense. hot. loved it.

Sinks into some gender tropes I don't love but this show is so beautiful. Great pacing, lovely audio, atmospheric, great scenery. I love this show most when it lets the drama exist in silent and spare imagery and when it distorts things. Love the excessive amount of fade transitions. Fabulous.

Listen. The best thing I can say for this movie is that the Art is really beautiful. The light, the spare scenery, simple animation, the limited blue/red palette, really nice. It oozes style.

Here's the thing. Its a trash movie. I love trash movies, but there was nothing I could find no matter how hard I tried that redeemed it. I tend to deal with bad or "underdeveloped" storylines especially at the expense of art or just a good original idea, or some interesting execution of it, but nah. I think the shitty dialogue and kind of ridiculous macho overtones are sort of fun as the ...
