Mima is a young singer in a pop band that has yet to become successful. When offered a role in a TV series she decides to change her career with unforseen consequences as not everything and everyone is quite as glamourous as it seems...
This DVD starts with a great menu screen and the initial story is both captivating and excellently realised. There are some irritating cuts, however, and as the film draws towards its conclusion it becomes convoluted and unbelievable due to serious implausibilties in the script that are never explained.
The DVD has some unexciting extras, mostly the usual adverts for other Manga Entertainment titles and nothing really worth exploring further.
Overall - a technically imaginative strictly adult anime film with great potential but let down by a poor script.
