The animation and direction look great. A style I enjoy in both. The story though... I thought when they did the flashback of the guy that it would finally shape up... Nope. I stopped twice.
I thoroughly enjoy animation. My fav form of movie. I go into it looking for the things in everything I watch:
Even kids films have these qualities. Its not about this being 'mature' film making, I also thoroughly enjoy most art films that others find boring and slow. (If that's to be called mature so be it.)
It's that the story seemed.. hollow. That's why his flashback was my tipping point. That fb wasn't hollow. That was good. The rest... When he begins his quest, just not enjoyable. I'm not trying a third time.
