This anime is a chaotic, jarring, psychedelic, and philosophic masterpiece. A simultaneously simple, yet bizarre journey whose message becomes crystal clear by its end. It is a passionate and loving call to live a life of fewer regrets.
The first time I started watching it, I quit after a few minutes, but I consider it to one of the finest movies I've ever seen.
