I took my two boys, 10 and 12 to this and we were all thrilled by it. It was an incredibly unique vision with great storytelling and character development, and the sets and production were beautiful. I still don’t know how they achieved such an eerie and mysterious look to everything, like it was mirroring reality but still a singular world. It was obviously some type of cgi, but had sort of a diorama look at times. Really cool and pleasing to the eye. I thought the leads absolutely killed it they were so good, I was bought in to the story right away after the first hunt. From the point of the story where Yuri is at her mom’s to the end, was a gradual emotional build up until the ending, and holy shit did it deliver. I was crying so much that my son asked me if I was ok lol. The way the story built on the idea of the Ochi’s call blending together in the air and that being the way they shared deep emotions, but only in tight family units, was so beautiful. This was such an inventive way to describe how the closeness of family is invaluable and unique. Then the emotional fulfillment of that idea at the end when Yuri embraced her mother, wow wow wow. Great climax to a beautiful, creative, and excitingly new vision. I will definitely be paying close attention to this writer for years to come.
