This movie was written collectively by a group of female writers called Clamp (Tokyo Babylon, Magic Knight Rayearth). With some of the best animation since Ghost in the Shell this film is sure to become a fan favorite. The movie is very dreamlike in nature, with a fluidity to it only seen in peoples dreams. This is one of the reasons that I enjoyed this movie so much, it's not just another movie. It has so much originality to it.
On the down side this movie can be slightly confusing and drawn out at times. Character development is another problem. There are seven Dragons of Heaven not including Kamui, and seven Dragons of Earth not including Fuma. You never really learn anything about any of these other characters, making them seem two dimensional and unreal. The most disappointing part of this movie is the final battle, which was lead up to through the entire movie, and it lasted about 30 seconds. Yet despite these downfalls, all in all this is a worthwhile movie to go see. It will be worth your time.
