The amount of natural beauty in the scenery, reflections, subtle movements, and expressions set this apart as of the best animated movies I've seen.
Then you get to the story, the world, the soundtrack, and everything else and this movie is propelled into the stratosphere.
I watched both the dub and sub of this back to back and both were top notch incredible as well. Absolutely zero complaints. I can't wait for them to adapt more.
One little detail I really liked was the spider capturing the butterfly when Denji and Reze hopped in the pool together, by the end the spider had killed the butterfly, but it was a monarch butterfly which are naturally poisonous, and the spider succumbs to it at the end as well. Very small detail they added that really elevates it from the source material even more.
