Overall I give this animation/movie the following scores:

Animation A+/Blu-ray B-/Video On Demand
Writing C-
Acting C
Story B

The movie honestly is a pleasure to watch, but please note that to get the best effect you should purchase the Blu-Ray version, otherwise the score goes from A+ to about a B- since it stacks up against any average animation. My first mistake was getting it via "Video On Demand" and what a terrible mistake that was. Watching it in HD made all the difference.

However, the writing and acting was very disappointing as it reminded me of some of the things I used to read from my friends in Junior High School. It's really at that level in my opinion. It all felt very forced and bland in that respect. But, then again, the HD continued to captivate me especially since I enjoy anime.

Whilst, the animation is top notch, the story line felt a lot like I was watching a young adult romance novel converted to an anime. There was a lot of room to improve character development, especially the conflict between the main character's new partner and old. I would have liked to see less love story, more character development, and more combat.

These is one of the best movies i have recently seen. Recomended to everyone that loves Anime.Super good fights and very detailed graphics. Toooooooo Coooooool!! rock on Apple seed!!.
