I don't know what's left to say. If this was maybe at least half its cost I could easily forgive its misgivings, alas this isn't a 7. Yeah I'm kinda gutted it isn't better.

It is strong at establishing an atmospheric story, aided by outstanding graphics and a highly talented, very natural voice cast who know not to over-act. It falls short on some technical fronts (translation, some over-familiar tropes and cumbersome narrative viewpoints), but these do not decisively mar the enjoyable experience.
