The movie, like this TV series, punches well above is budget for quality and enjoyment.
The simple and artful direction, camera work, costumes, and acting create an aesthetic that honors manga and artistic pursuit.
The actors interactions and dialog imbue the personalities of their characters and lift the writing to life. Patient dialog and camera shots bring a methodical presence to the mystery revealing plot.
One gets the sense the crew and cast love their work, as the creativity, detail and care is evident. While the budgets for special effects and sets are clearly limited, the careful use of locations, costumes, and visual aesthetic more than make up for it.
The gentle, and minimalist story telling results in a wonderfully pleasant experience. And I hope all involved are able to continue these stories.
