If you are LGBT(QIA+) and love anime, you MUST watch this surrealist masterpiece. It takes influence from old world fairytales and Kabuki style Japanese theater to tell a story about human spirit, gender performance and the limitlessness of love. Be prepared for low budget anime tropes, including reused footage. Subtitled: 9.5/10 English dubbed: 8.5/10
