This film has an interesting concept, which it also materializes quite well. With animation and sound still clearly in the 80s style, the film presents a non-linear sci-fi theme, but does it in a rather earthly, non "over the top" fashion. It does not put the emphasis one might expect on its sci-fi aspects, but rather it stays closer to the realistic portrayal of mankind and humanity. Indeed the main character is a rather mundane one, which fits the above premise. It is well executed, throughout three distinct subplots along which the story develops, as the main character travels through the US. Some details about thecharacters and their past are revealed.

But more than the plot details themselves, there is a pending question: what does really define us as species? Indirectly, it seems this is what the film really is concerned about.

All in all, the film manages to always keep the interest with new subplots, new scenes, new background, new insights, some food for thought, several action scenes, and a major surprise in the end.

It does particularly well in never letting the viewer get bored, and this is one of the reasons why I recommend this film to either sci-fi fans, casual anime viewers, or basically any other profile. A film that will suit most tastes, not hyper-ultra-awesome but rather enjoyable.
