Entertaining? Yes, definitely--not terribly bright. Technically any good? One thing I like about good anime is that generally it tends to be smart, unlike American movies, animated or otherwise. This movie was a bit too light on character, and the story that it did have plonked out in huge clumsy chunks. In other words, it was too American for me ;) Which is kind of sad for me since this is a Japanese film. But most Americans will probably enjoy it just fine. (Take that as you will, Americans!)
How did I feel as the credits rolled? Actually barely satisfied. The climax is very Americany but nails it fairly well on the head--in other words, it works and actually makes up for a good amount of the bad Americany stuff. Still, I'd like to withhold final judgement until I see a subbed version.
Final Rating? SIYL (if you like lots of kick ass rated-R shoot 'em up violence but no nudity :( )
