BELLE
Ryuu to Sobakasu no Hime
The protagonist of this story, Suzu, is a 17-year old high school girl living with her father in a rural town of Kochi — their town is a textbook definition of depopulation in the Japanese countryside. Wounded by the loss of her mother at a young age, Suzu one day discovers the massive online world, “U,” and dives into this alternate reality as her avatar, Belle. Before long, all of U’s eyes are fixed on Belle (Suzu), when one day the mysterious and infamous Dragon-like figure appears before her.

Not bad. Really good. Music & Art amazing. VA/Singer is great. Story ok, plot meh.
Belle was a visual and audible masterpiece with a story that people seem to under/overshadow.

another great one from studio Chizu!

Ambitious and bombastic, but unable to carry the weight of all its extraneous subplots, and being very bloated.
Hosoda and the antithesis of cyberpunk
This movie obviously has faults, as does any movie, however, despite its flaws, the music alone makes it worth watching
Three short films smashed into one eye-watering spectacle.
