The poster is way too chaotic. It features a large number of individual images from the film combined onto one poster. This poster won't attract an audience. And if it were animated, it might induce a seizure.
I'm not a fan of Anime and so far, only Hayao Miyazaki has been able to tempt me into the genre. The originally evinced in this preview could pull me towards another such film. This one at least looks inventive, though its plot isn't terribly clear.
If there are five spots at the Oscars, this film could find itself in one of them. In a three-way race, it will have to watch from the sidelines.
I have not seen this film.
