[QUOTE="Lordhippos, post: 626015, member: 9344"] Alright so I finished this today! Overall thoughts are that it was visually strong but narratively weak, by that I mean the story seemed more about the journey and exploration than it did about connecting the dots to bring about a satisfying ending. I enjoyed it but I wouldn't personally go out of my way to recommend it. My understanding of the plot was that the woman existed to handle the anomaly with the penguins, and once that was solved she had no reason to exist anymore hence she vanished. Aoyama obviously had a thing for her, and hell which of us wouldn't in his shoes? I think however she was a little too keen to play along with it, and were the tables reversed (young girl with an older guy) this would have been seen as creepy. As it was I think that no lines were crossed, but I wasn't sure it wasn't going to try at some point. What part did the obsession with boobs serve with the plot I wonder? I am not against boobs of course, but other than highlighting his love for analytical research, and one of the things he liked about the lady, I don't think it was necessary for the plot. Hell I'd even say it was detrimental given it's PG - children rating on MAL, in an otherwise relatively child-friendly movie. [/QUOTE]
