I wish I liked it more. It wants so badly to be heavy metal, but it's far to subdued and holds back on it's performances. A lot of the voice acting feels very monotone/unemotional like I feel like it was afraid to get weird or intense. The rotoscoping i could get used to but even then the action felt p stilted and just so restrained. I think the set up/world could of been interesting if it just felt like it had more passion and not trying so desperately to resist being weird/zany
Absolutely incredible. Loved it. I wish there were more animated movies as bold and creative as this. Shudder, please make more!!
Tremble before the immensity of the night
What an amazing movie. Reminds me a lot of Heavy Metal. Like this movie is straight from the 80's.
Lots of cool stuff in here
