    I think that while the film producers may be claiming that Japanese Animators are reaching for the moon while their American counterparts are still playing in the sandbox , there is one thing which they fail to incorporate in this film and which sorta leaves me thinking : mehhh … and that is : A kick-ass-Soundtrack . Which is the most Vital thing in a film . The films soundtrack sounds childish and does not coincide with the films premise , which is a great factor that the films producers/ directors did not take into consideration .
    Most ( American ) films tend to incorporate a great soundtrack to their films , aside from the fact of whether the film is great or simply ” sux ” , and most American films tend to cash in on both : Film & Soundtrack sales . This film will not be doing such ( at least in my book ) I hate to say . Albeit , Japanese animators may be stellar steps ahead of their American counterparts , they fail to combine great lasting soundtracks within their films ( be they animation or not ) , which leaves the general public not even remembering any of their films – whereas : You have every American film remaining fixed within the memories of the American public .
    Music plays a pivotal role within any film now a days – and this is an important factor which Japanese film production companies must consider – IF they wish to capture a global audience and not simply remain at a national gross profit from their movie sales .
    Now, I really do not know whether this film is as good as they claim it to be – and from the brief description leading into the films premise it all sounds like something Alfred Hitchcock would have written – however , from what I was able to see from the trailer : again , this is not a film which would make me run to the movie theaters to pay good money to see ( I’d wait it out until it became available on DVD – and even then … ) ; I truly dont see Japanese animators reaching for the moon as far as ‘ animation effects ‘ are concerned in this film – to me it looks just like any other afternoon kiddie cartoon on regular television , as it tends to mix & combine childish cartoon characters with adult swim ( along w the childish soundtrack music ) which kinda leaves me cold .
    However to each his own – and if the general public deems that this film is groundbreaking enough where they have no problem in shelling out $20.00 to go see – then , by all means to each his own AGAIN .
    A for myself : I’ll pass .

    Thanx for the write up though , you did make a good attempt to sell this film to the general public -however : this film did not convince me .
    Great post 🙂
