just now watched it for the first time, all i can say is holy crap. awesome. regardless of the largely fragmented storyline till the finale, see it if only for the fantastical imagery..
the colors, the concepts, the fight scenes, the storyline when it completes, ahhhh. being an anime buff perhaps i would enjoy this more than others, but to see this kind of ridiculous vision brought to live action is fucking awesome.
that and the fact that japanese directors dont shy away from giving the vague, not necessarily storybook happy ending, is nice. no punches pulled in this movie.
if you like anime, definitely see it. if youve an open mind and are looking for an unconventional approach to film making, definitely see it. hell, if you like films in general see it.
duly noted its the middle of the morning, so i may append my impressions upon completion of a night of sleep. but as of right now, ill close in similar fashion to how i opened: holy crap.
