On paper, I was already intrigued as it sounded completely ridiculous, and the film is most definitely that.
It does everything you expect in an outlandish fantasy anime. The mythology surrounding the strange fantasy moments are totally insane. But the well drawn-out characters gives it a certain charm that makes it integral watching.
As usual, the animation is totally gorgeous and there was plenty of laughs along the way.
However, despite enjoying the story, I saw many incoherences. There were a few noticeable story developments that never stopped to explained itself. It just happened. Also, there were discoveries made by characters that came out of nowhere. It's as if the writing crew had no idea how to develop this, and instead it just happened to move the story along.
That being said, this is still a lot of fun and one that will please many of the anime followers.
It's a well-made coming-of-age story with unpredictable imagination, striking visuals and a story that had a nice mix of comedy, romance and emotional drama.
Rating: 7/10
