Has anyone else seen this?
I saw it a couple weeks ago at a film festival and really liked it. The strangest anime I've ever seen but pretty endearing and pleasantly odd.
There is a pretty weak point in it though where a plot is wedged in at the end. The first two thirds are fun little misadventures in which you wonder slightly if there's a reason for Tamala's actions. At the end a new character is introduced and says exactly what's going on. It's a very interesting plot full of interesting ideas but it's also presented pretty dryly and and in a sometimes confusing manner. Made extra deadly to the rest of the audience as the show was a midnight showing.
Good soundtrack too, from Trees of Life
