My Review

---

Although the movie is old, the animations are very advanced and the story is very well arranged in the movie. This animated look reminds me of my adventure. It's a very nice story adventuristic and its voice and colorful anime make it so beautiful. And from my point of view, the technologies shown in it are way ahead of their time.
