An adventure that can’t really be summed up. Also hilarious at times while being visually abstract.

For a disjointed anime film, this was surprisingly entertaining. There was a lot more to it than I was expecting.

A very trippy experience with a bonkers story and surreal animation. Definitely give it a watch.

While It’s occasionally exhausting, it never stops being mesmerizing. An eccentric animated tour de force.

a trippy psychological visual journey, using several different art styles with a fast paced ploy. Don’t try to understand it, just enjoy
