Our own 0–100 rating, built from five aspects: art, character, story, the sensory experience and how well a film rewatches.

  • Art & Craft 88

    In terms of art and craft, the film excels with vibrant animation and polished visual design.

  • Story & Flow 70

    Story and flow present a mixed picture. The plot’s romantic premise and resolution are praised for maintaining audience engagement, yet reviewers point out excessive length and pacing issues that dilute impact. Certain comments describe the narrative as “creepy” or “overlong,” while others appreciate its heartfelt conclusion. Balance of feedback places the story in a moderate range.
