A spiritual successor to Tokyo.sora, only not quite as effective. The black-and-white cinematography is striking and the focus on several young women in Tokyo felt familiar, but even though the setup is clear enough, the film lacks a bit of cohesion, failing to bring all these stories together. The visuals are impeccable, though the choice for black-and-white did feel a bit easy (and maybe also unnecessary).
