    Love the idea but the feels-good hollywood vibes… and my guy was live-broadcasted in his bedroom every night 👀 ? The love interest also felt so random and she was so useless.

    ★★★½

    This film has some real eye candy, from backgrounds to animation, though it suffers a bit from quality inconsistency. For example, the opening sequence had some poorly drawn background elements, which immediately gets overshadowed by the subsequent world establishing scenes. The animations are liquid smooth, unfortunately the fight scenes generally flash a bit too fast to keep track of all the moving elements and occasionally cut weirdly. It grows on you the more you rewatch it, which probably is what…

    My first impression made me think of Tai-Chi, exotic and beautiful, but old, slow, and a warm-up to nothing. It’s filled with moody stills that seem to overstay their welcome, pivotal plot points that are easily overlooked, and ultimately a lack of a climax. But it’s definitely better on the second watch. After the final scene (which is very well done), I realized you’re supposed to feel like your in a fever dream with deranged characters pointlessly drifting on a river, slowly fizzling out of existence. It feels like an interesting alternative to Apocalypse Now.
