The beauty of the animation was breathtaking. I could just stare at the blending of colors and shapes for hours, just admiring the artistry that went into their production. The music complimented the scenery just as well.

Despite the start of the movie, don’t expect the film to remain realistic. It was definitely a fantasy film, but one that’s was quite good and honestly felt underrated.

It was by no means a perfect film. Lots of the transition scenes felt weird, and moments where you expected a chase scene or some action, just faded to black and the movie picked up elsewhere.

I also think the antagonist could have been slightly better portrayed. Yes I was not fond of the character from the start, but the film could have better shown his naive desires and how it drove him to do horrible things like [spoiler]sacrificing Asuna to bring back his wife.[/spoiler]

But truly overall, the film had a magnificent animation style and soundtrack with a journey that felt emotionally significant and meaningful.

I always struggle with the story in this kind of japanese movies, even Studio Ghibli has big flaws when it comes to plots: they are either too predictable or completely missing.
This falls in the middle, as a lot happens, but in the end it's almost like it never happened. The thing that misses the point is the world of Agartha, this magical place that is not really explored, and therefore feels a little flat.
However this movie has incredible animations and I don't regret watching it.

we liked it, visually very well, although it seemed to us to be inferred from Your name
