Takuya has an idea which will both allow her to wake up and protect his world, although I won't spoil the ending by giving it away here.Īs said before the animation is stunning and most of the acting sounded good too although a couple of English speaking characters sounded rather hammy but as they only had a few lines it didn't damage the film for me.
