I want to talk about everything, but nothing is explained clearly. It is superficial and the plot is not smooth. Some take it for granted.

The fusion of animation and 3D technology is well done; Otomo Keyang's fascination with robots is a match for Miyazaki's fascination with aircraft; the use of special black screen transitions is unique and a little weird;  …
