If you like manga, this is a must. Manga can be seen as a acquired taste, but seriously this film is beautiful. The animation contains the tiniest of details and you could watch it over and over marvelling at some of the scenes. Being Asian the story explains itself along the way, meaning you have to pick it up in dribs and drabs. Far easier to understand 2nd time round, and this definitely has replay value. If you want to get into, or already like Manga, this is a must see. Even if not I urge you take a look.
