First off spirit within is CG but don't let that turn you away it's possibly the best CG you wil have seen in a film, shame it bankrupted Square Pictures but that beside the point. Not only is the artwork fantastic but the story and acting is'nt half-bad either whether watched in japanese or english.Something i do have to point out is that it does slow down at some points and even borders on you know what's going to happen next All in all this is one film to watch, if you liked this you may also want to watch Advent Children also a very well donefilm
