Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: VERY GOOD "...a terrific -- but sometimes hard to follow -- Japanese anime... it has the imaginative and witty graphics that make Japanese animation so widely admired.... amusingly, stylishly fantastic."(See all of Kevin Thomas's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 204 words, 07/08/11
Sarah LaBrie, Village Voice/LA Weekly: GOOD "...what the film lacks in suspense, it makes up for in beauty.

Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times: GOOD (NOT GREAT)(cg) "...loud, chaotic, colorful, occasionally amusing... inventive enough that it almost begs for a lavish, live-action Michael Bay makeover, but the plot is so derivatively familiar that it feels like a rote exercise..."(See all of Jeff Shannon's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 270 words, 07/29/11
