  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

5.0

 A surprisingly universal story with only light touches of its Japanese setting, my only complaints are the frequent dream/vision sequences, ironic for such realistic characters. Otherwise, TOTALLY worth the hype!
