Ok, I'm going to break out of my reserved silence because personally I don't think that if something just looks fantastic that it can get away with being devoid of almost everything else like characters or story that should also be on the same level. I haven't seen this one but I have seen Voices and Places and while they were both eye candy they didn't hold much ground with any other elements.

Most reviews I read usually about his works focus on the visual aspect then hover over the characterization and story like it doesn't matter because well... it looks good. For me having good characters is the most important thing and I can't say the characters in his work up to now have been all that strong and that can't really do being that he rests most of the storytelling on the characterisation. They just don't seem real enough for me to be interested in them for this kind of story.

But yeah, his work does look really pretty like.
