    watched at an anime\manga convention in Jerusalem. I'll be completely honest, I didn't really like this one... It's not bad in any way, but nothing about it really connected with me. It didn't make me feel or think anything in particular, it was pretty bland IMO.

    With that said, I still really respect it, it's clearly a work of talent and passion, and even if I didn't enjoy the film itself, the accompanying panel with the director Lee Dror was really interesting and inspiring, and I'm glad I got to hear her process.

    Watched at an Anime/Manga con in Jerusalem. Really enjoyed it.

    Some scenes felt a bit disconnected from one another, and the rotoscoping was a bit too noticeable at times, but these are pretty minor neatpicks. This is still a really beautiful film full of joy and passion. It's one of the most endearing film I've seen and I've been smiling from start to finish.
    It was especially enjoyable on a large screen with good audio. Seriously the sound design and visuals are absolutely incredible!

    What a classic!
    I'm kinda sad I haven't had a chance to watch it before, but I probably couldn't have picked a better time:
    Watched it at a friend's house, specifically in his home theater rooftop, and I must say, the sound quality up there added so much depth to the atmosphere and enriched the tension even more!
    It's honestly incredible how well paced this is. Found footage is such a challenging limitation, and it often distracts from the story rather than enrich it. But here it's pulled off so perfectly it makes it seem trivial.
    This was excellent!!
