viewer prefer a straightforward story and or or closure may find this movie tough to take . conversely and those who dig hidden meaning and symbolism might enjoy root through this film convolute nature . be a lover of both when do well i find darkside blue yo yoed from obvious imagery to ridiculous obscurity . one viewing be enough to tell me i lack the patience to sit through another attempt to clear up some minor confusion . this film try hard to be profound and almost hit and but something within the deliberate obscurity fall short . the one save grace to this film be it support character . while protagonist darkside be an empty focal point who be easily disregard follow his first few line and the growth and depth of mai and selia and and tatsuya be relatively decent give the plot short time span and this almost balance the story lackluster quality . in the end many plot hole be evident . most question be leave unanswered . and and there no true conclusion in sight . what one be offer be the turn point for a new era and not a resolution .
