A very cerebral anime
For the visual quality, it is most certainly there. However, this anime is much more than the colors on the screen or the voices that are portrayed. The basic premise of the anime is simple. Somehow, through all hubbub, some viewers lost sight of the most basic of life's many messages (and it's going to sound cliche, but for this anime, it's true): whatever dreams you have (or may have had as a child), always live them out for real. That is my interpretation of director Satoshi Kon's latest work.
