Appreciated
Selected viewers offer specific praise for the visuals, dance animation, voice acting, and music. They also recognize an attempt to explore the relationship between art and people, finding the audiovisual presentation appealing.
Reservations
Reservations concern very slow pacing, obscure expression, and a failure to connect the philosophical discussion with the characters' stories. Some are also unconvinced by the protagonist's changes and the emotions conveyed through dance. Detailed production does not necessarily make the themes accessible.
