The director previously won an award for his short film and his first feature film follows suit with its strange story line and creative editing.
The movie is mainly from Hikari's point of view and as he is a big fan of retro video games the movie is structured like a game itself with the accompanying music that is so characteristic for those old games.
While the initial thought about the storyline would seem to be sad, the movie is full of humour and laughs. Acting wise some might find it hard to judge as the children are supposed to be emotionless.
The movie itself, the fast paced editing,the colorful set design and the music is addicting and make it an enjoyful ride that might have some emotional message hidden.
