Have anyone seen this amazing movie? It wasn't really advertised in the U.S. but, I saw a preview for it when I watched Paprika. Anyway, it's really amazing movie it in terms of story and the artwork is absolutely sumptuous I couldn't believe my eyes I first time I watched it. I highly recommend it if you haven't!

Cool, comment back on your thoughts of the movie when you see it

Yeah, some people may hate the the style the characters are drawn but, even then background and environment of the movie is pure eye candy. I actually really like the style personally of the way the characters are drawn, I think it's pretty unique and distinctive. I am glad you like it too^^
