"I am rating this beautiful and visionary anime four stars only because I didn't completely understand the entire plot. But, basically, the story is about a veteran warrior named Van, and an orphan girl named Yuna who become found family after a vicious disease affects their village and that of the neighboring people. They escape the mining town with the worst cases of the disease, and begin their journey to find some peace. Along the way, Van finds out some interesting things about his origins. He meets a doctor that may be able to find a connection to him and curing the lethal disease. The visuals were fantastic, the voice acting was excellent, and although some parts of the plot I didn't understand, as a whole, it was enough for me to enjoy this visual feast. Japanese audio. "

"What a good story. "

"I really, really wanted to love this movie. I just can't. The animation is beautiful, it has some good ideas, but the plot is very lacking. It feels like something happens, then another thing happens, and then another thing happens. It doesn't really feel connected at all and you really start feeling it near the end. "

"I loved the relationship between Van and Yumi, but the ending was really confusing and anti climatic "
