I signed up to do reviews just to let you know ignore other review saying too long rubbish i could have watched for much longer dearly would love to have been told more of the future of the players in this movie i highly recommend this the art is superb the dialog smart the characters (except for the kappa) are believable and leave you wishing you could meet them and talk about their experiences yes it is almost 2 1/2 hours but if you found this movie you know your anime and if this is your genre this is a home run yes violence and mild gore and bloodletting but important part of the plot and not over done remember though Tokyo has been thru its share of monsters one that is a foot high could be not that threatening i give this a nine
