If you're an anime fan, you already know to look past the mumbo jumbo plots and enjoy the visual scope of a battle between good and evil.

Religious mumbo-jumbo, turgid storytelling and lackluster animation drag down this anime fantasy.

Who conceived this ponderous, quasi-evangelical hokum, anyway?

Never ever ever ever... Watch this movie.... This is a product of Scientology that drags unexacting Anime fans... The only good thing is the animation, but that cannot stop the brainwashing message that it brings...

I am going to skip the part about how this is film is a not so subtle way of communicating the beliefs of Happy Science and focus on the film. The anime was nice in places. The CGI really didn't mix in well with the anime and often looked out of place. The script was ham handed and there wasn't much "gray" to the story. Good is very good, Evil is very evil. By the end it was outright preaching. Bottom line, I was checking my watch early and often. That typically doesn't bode well for an entertaining night at the movies. Much less for a religious tract.

Probably the worst animation I have seen ever. I thought becuase it had the animator's from naruto and such we would end up with a passable anime movie but this movie fails on so many levels I left before it ended. DO NOT WATCH. Hopefully someone will read this and I can save them the pain of seeing even 10 minutes of this movie.
