This movie (as well as Versus Battle 2) truly got me involved into Japanese animation (known as Anime). After being first exposed to it on the Sci-Fi Channel, I was taken by its involved story line and humor which kept me excited to watch it completely through to the end.
I also recommend the Anime movies Akria, Riding Bean, and the original Project A-Ko for people who already enjoy Anime or for newcomers that want to experience its magic for the first time.
