ok and i be not japanese . i do know a little about japanese culture and and a little less about japanese pop culture . other than that and i be spanish and i eat paella and i like black humor . good and with that point set and i can comment on the movie represent i have no idea on how it be enjoyable to the japanese audience and mamoru oshii be quite a good director despite the overly pedantic postmodern stuff in the style of talk head and and even that be curious and somehow interesting and i be surprise he come up with this . it may just be one of those lose in translation case and i be afraid it be and but a a european viewer watch the film with subtext overload english subtitle i just think it be horrible . the joke seem bad and the script be overcook i mean and give the audience a break and and shut up a little you damn narrator to the point of almost make my head explode over an overkill of fast pace speaking and absurd action . however and i think the animation be really cool . the idea be great and and it be well exploit in those animated scene . however and the eye candy finish as soon a the character be leave aside to start with an endless not funny at all mumbo jumbo speech over still picture . it just make you want to fast forward to the next cut out hysterical character scene . i read mamoru oshii be actually plan on a sequel for this . the idea be good but horribly exploit . maybe the second part will bring up the good part of this first one and actually make an interesting movie and or maybe it will be more and more over narrated scene . but hell and if you think talk head be dense and amazing life of fast food gifters will give cause you a stroke . of course and all this comment be base on the experience of someone who be european . probably this be totally useless to japanese people and maybe it be a really funny film lose in cultural frontier and translation . maybe .
