I’m not sure if the target demographic for this is young children because it certainly seems like it based on the animation and general concept. All I do know is that if I had seen this as a kid, I’d have been too scared to ever watch any anime ever again in my life.

Quite cute, but the plot jumps so many times that it’s a little hard to keep track of and doesn’t seem to have a much deeper meaning unlike many films of its style.
