Loved it and laughed a lot for the first half-hour or so. Then at about the halfway point it lost me a little, but I was won back over when it suddenly turned into a musical. Then it became really out there but I think it stuck the landing, and overall I (think that I) really liked it.
It's a lot to take in and it's absolutely insane and much of it went over my head, but still, a lot of it put a smile on my face, and while it's in many ways very simple, it's also presented in a way and unfolds in a way that's very unique.
If you want a movie that's somehow equal parts both fun and challenging I couldn't recommend this crazy movie highly enough.

Plot summary
As a group of teens go out for a night on the town, a sophomore known only as "The Girl with Black Hair" experiences a series of surreal encounters with the local nightlife - all the while unaware of the romantic longings of Senpai, a fellow student who has been creating increasingly fantastic and contrived reasons to run into her, in an effort to win her heart.

Insane and visually inventive
Japanese animation
A girl wants to explore the world of drinking away from her elders. A boy has been obsessed with the girl for a long time. The movie follows the two young people on their individual journeys through the night in the city.
This is an alternative Japanese animation. I love the first half. The only change I would make is to give the girl an age. I can't tell if she's a teenager or in her late twenties. I don't know the drinking age in Japan. Giving her a specific age would help specify her. I love when the girl is barhopping. I love the old drunk guys in the bar. I get lost as if I'm joining the bar tour. The story does lose the narrative thread during the play. The story gets chaotic although I put some of it on the characters' drunkenness. I would make the girl act more drunk. She had enough to be drunk. I like the movie falling more into the surrealist animation style as the movie reaches its conclusion. All in all, I really like animation style and the pub crawl.
Amazing animation and a great film make a good experience
If i had to explain this movie it would probably have to be a surreal modern take on Alice in Wonderland in the suburbs Itll brighten up your day if your in a rutt
