Viewing Notes

Been wanting to revisit for a while. Theater viewing left me a bit cold despite mostly enjoying it. The animation is certainly terrific.

It’s fine but also problematic. There are some neat things negated by a lot of the weird appropriation. I kinda wish they hadn’t set this in Japan.
