I enjoyed the story telling and the art. Overall, it's a pretty good anime despite some sites don't rate it highly. It's a very cultural oriented anime and I think that might be the reason why some people don't like it as much as they might not enjoy the cultural aspect.

Most people talk about Puss, the dog and death (btw people, he's not a villain by definition, he's an antagonist, villain is Jack). My favorite is goldilock and the bears. Maybe it's an age thing but maybe is a culture thing from my opinion, the emotions that went on for the family bond is just unparalleled. I've seen way too many people pursing things of what they long for(career goals, love and loved ones, relationships, achievements/fame) but didn't realize what made them actually happy is literally just next to them. At the end, it brought me tears to see and happy she eventually saw through. Furthermore, the attitude towards Goldi from the bears watered my eyes. They knew they will be the casualties of her decision. At first they were mad about it but later still decided to support her dream is just ripping my heart out. The unconditional love and support from them is just overwhelming. Them settling with peace in the heart after all they've been through since she's a child but also putting their lives on the lines before and even in the final battle for her knowing she's leaving. It's just pure treasure. I loved this so much because this is very applicable to most of our lives regardless what it's about we are pursuing. I'm very happy to see they are showing to the audience to ultimate change people's heart preventing more broken relationships. I also appreciated Jack. Absolute mad man but a wonderful villain. Overall, wonderful movie

One of the best anime I've seen awhile

When I saw the trailer at first, I knew it's gonna be wild ride. I had a high expectation to say the least. After I watched it, I'm proud to say that the movie totally went beyond it. It was worth the money to me. I even went back to the theater to rewatch it. I know this movie has extremely different reviews, either you'll love it or hate it. Honestly, this movie is just a vibe check. If your vibe is right, it's a great movie. Some of the negative reviews complained about violence and gore. Just a friendly reminder since a lot of people seemed to be blind, it's rated R. I think THAT'S why it's rated that way.
