Honestly just enjoyed the ride with this one. The philosophic ruminations and metaphors on post capitalist Japan underlying the story were good. I genuinely enjoyed the characters, their relationships, and the simplicity but sheer wild impressions made emotionally. The ending is very Japanese horror, and was quite good.
