It's a shitty movie. Very flawed production, shitty voice acting, inconsistent animation, expressions of the characters were so poor that the emotions were hard to read.
>expressions of the characters were so poor that the emotions were hard to read. Sounds like the reviewers had asperger's syndrome.

I was interested in this because Takeuchi debut but it looks like Shaft doing the same shit again.

Uchiage Hanabi was bad. Every mid- to far-range character cut was bad CG, and of course so was every bicycle-riding cut. The pool swimming effects (body distortion, reflection, etc.) were hilarious. Basically every jumping, running and zooming cut was jerky as hell. Inconsistent character art throughout. And all of this comes bundled with SHAFT's notorious over-the-top photography with very pronounced chromatic aberration and bad lens effects (not often used to be fair). Oh, and the credits linked above don't include the 25 Assistant ADs. Two very down-to-Earth cuts but that stood out nonetheless amid the mess were one running cut by Genichirou Abe most likely, and another character acting and falling (Kojima I presume).
Makes sense when you consider that Shaft had multiple productions going on and they've never been able to pull that off without something suffering. I thought Zaregoto had it worst.

Never mind the critics, how's the box office performance?
