I think this is by the same folks who did "TO" short animations. The sequences are brilliant. It is a combination of rotoscoping and cell-shading that gives quite nice looking sets. The dialog leaves bit to be desired. The story is quite compelling and interesting, though some have pointed out that the story is perhaps a retelling of parts of other similar ones. Still, I found the combination of the nice anime work and the (to me) unique story quite intriguing. My Rating: 7.0
