An underrated gem

A Japanese action-RPG with refined art direction and a soundtrack by Yoko Kanno, sending heroes with spectacular powers whirling into battle. Its temperamental camera and rough handling spoiled the experience for many. But its mood and bewitching music make it worth the detour for the curious willing to put up with its flaws.
