Very cool and beautiful animation. Very underwhelming story and momentum. Despite its looks, the story never seems to get going. Can't really pinpoint the exact fault, but it just kinda lags. I suspect I'm so enamoured by the art, I expect something more. If it didn't look so good, I'd chalk this up a typical and forgettable adventure. It's stuck between a too long or not fleshed out enough predicament. The story is extremely simple and there's no real depth built into the characters. Yohko gets a good mental exploration/test at the end but Zell (the villain) and his motivations are paper thin.
