Thanks for the review! I was renting movies last night and I wasn't sure if I should get it. I'll rent it next time and tell you what I think!

Yes, I did watch this movie, and couldn't tell whether I liked it or not. I do think that the art was amazing, the movie was entirely well done, but yet that closing line she speaks stayed with me... so much so that what she said is nearly all that I can remember. I assume that it was the point of the movie. I don't ever remember the spoiler code when I need it, so I just will assume that some of you know what I'm talking about. I just like the idea of pursuing something that has meaning. Besides that, it was a beautiful movie, and a good review Kenchii.

Yeah, the lsat line as a little bit of a "huh" moment, but once I thoroughly thought it through-- I decided I liked it. But it did take quite a while to decide.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I thought the movie was a fascinating, movie-within-movie, repeating-themes-of-life exploration with quite a few nice twists. I enjoyed the creativity, the quality of the artwork, and the talent of the Japanese voice actors. I saw it widescreen at Otakon, and recently ordered the DVD. Highly recommended.
