Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.

So the shape below is not a measured arc. It is this title's overall sentiment held flat across the runtime, with the widest uncertainty band we draw. People talked about this title; they did not talk about how it paces.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βThe plot is often bewilderingly complex and the dense layers of subterfuge hard to follow, but by the climax the fairy tale has been twisted into a fascist fable of realpolitik mercenary opportunism.β

βWhere Okiura leads the art of animation into truly uncharted territory is in his character work, the precise behavioral strokes that bring people to life in two dimensions.β

βOffers a violent but compelling vision of what an animated feature can be.β

βThe film is built to quaver and buckle along with its victims and martyrs. In an almost soulful way, it bespeaks the reality lingering when the final fantasy ends.β

βThis film is mind-blowing with unexpected plot twists and poignant political messages. This Japanese animation has not aged and can still be watched today.β

βWho does this kind of Anime anymore? If you are looking forward for an anime shorter then Akira, while still having an interesting story-arch without any wokeness. go for this one. I prefer it over ghost in the shell.β

βAnimation was good, world design was interesting. But if you're looking for an action movie, skip this one. You don't advertise big cool soldiers as a selling point, but then sell instead a melancholy, depressive soap opera with dose of "art house" cinema. Very boring.β

This film is an acquired taste. The action is bloody and they don't shy away from the carnage. It also gives us some visual that can both amaze and confuse the viewer.
