I’m a bit of a technology enthusiast so I’ve come to love most of the Anime’s that have a more futuristic setting. This movie was just right for me.

The animation and music quality was just fine. The story progression and pacing felt great and was very entertaining. The character development was interesting. I will say that a lot of movie drama is built by characters just behaving dumbly. For example, [spoiler]When Kenji (and the others) respond to a random spam email with a decrypted key to break into Oz. [/spoiler] In addition, there was certainly some drama that just didn’t have the right intensity.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the way they did the connection between Oz and the real world as it was stuck between virtual reality and just playing a video game. I also thought the virtual world of Oz animating could’ve been better quality, but that’s just an opinion with my predefined notion of what a virtual world might look like.

It was a wonderful story with many intricate details and a little bit of love.
