Viewing Notes

This is either low-key brilliant or just some pretentious religious mush delivered by Mamoru Oshii. Or possibly both?

That said, I really love the gothic look of this despite being set sometime in a future that resembles Earth. The animation style is a little like Galaxy Express mixed with Belladonna of Sadness.

DKUTV programmed this for their Anime World feature (Monday nights) but I decided to catch it on YT which may have a slightly better PQ than the DKU stream.
