Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - piece of crap
I am sorry but this film is:

pointless
poorly animated
CG effects are primitive
story is at best over-boring

good luck for people who purchased it like me.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Nothing special
The animation is OK, the music standard fare, the story just silly. Too many anime cliches and logic-holes.
That's all I have to say.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What light through yonder window breaks?

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Beautiful
The animation is lovely, the music is amazing, the story is touching, the characters are sympathetic and the whole thing is perfectly timed and scripted to produce an enigmatic and beautiful piece of art. So what that it's only half an hour long? It's perfect.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Almost a classic
I was a little put-off by the fact the actual film is 25 mintutes long, but I'm glad I took the time to watch it: it actually seemed a lot longer than it was, and the story is very sweet and simple, and didn't really need to be a long film. The only problem I had with the plot was the ending: everything seemed to get a little too emotional and left a lot of questions un-answered (eg. why the alien morph into her?). The CG sequences are very slick and looked great, but some of the character animation ... Read More:
