according to wiki, the anime did very well in japan and relatively well received worldwide, even without much of promotion..

我又估唔到有咁多人欣賞呢種 anime 喎!  現代人大都係追求觀能刺激同動作場面。

probably "back to the basics"

wiki excerpt: The film wasn't advertised as frequently as other animation features from 2006 (such as "Tales from Earthsea"), but word of mouth and glowing reviews[18] generated interest. At Theatre Shinjuku for days in a row, filmgoers would fill the theater, some even standing to watch the film. Following this, distribution company Kadokawa Herald Pictures took unprecedented measures to increase the number of theaters showing the film across Japan, and sent the film to several international festivals.

嘩! 咁堅?

haa....again, if people expect striking visual and exciting plot...
they need to steer elsewhere.

this is a coming of age, love story with time traveling as a flare.

oh, now you have a ps3, have you been watching/renting much of blu ray disc movies?

咁您有冇睇到 d 少男情懷 返番晒黎先?

我租過幾次 blu-ray 黎試機.. 發覺有 d movie 話自己 blu-ray 但都唔係話勁清.

有 d 就真係好清囉，我都好 enjoy 架!!  不過多數我都係用返個 projector 睇 dvd.. 90" 720p 點都係正過 42" 1080p .. hehehe

可惜 d 錢沖左落屎坑，唔係都可以考慮 upgrade 個 projector 既
