It felt like watching a live action Ghibli movie. The mixture between Western and Japanese, old and new, comedy and character development made for a very interesting story. I decided to watch it because Ninomiya was acting in it. However, watching it made me interested in reading the story it was based on. They were several interesting turns in the blood and I love the happy ending. The character development was enough to make me want to watch the whole movie. There were a couple of times where it was slow but it made sense. In fact I wish it were a longer film so they could develop some of the other characters.
