I don't think I've ever watched a movie that is more ridiculous than this one. On the surface, the first 10 minutes could possibly rank as the most bizarre set of characters and plot devices ever put into film. A satellite "decides" to fall to earth after hearing a boy singing, and does so at the same time that Merlin, the magic roll of toilet paper, happens to be fighting a giant walking mechanical incinerator, and uses the satellite as a missile to temporarily defeat it. This transforms the satellite into a human girl shape. By doing so, Merlin saves a cow that was running away from the incinerator, because the incinerator is trying to incinerate all the humans with broken hearts that have turned into farm animals. The cow of course is the human boy that was singing in the first place.It unfortunately doesn't get too much better after this, and slows down considerably. It also includes some very random and pointless characters that pop in and out, and the love story between the cow and the satellite girl is very forced, predictable and bland. The signing is also terrible, and leaves you scratching your head as to why the satellite would even be remotely interested in it.However, you should grab the popcorn and watch it just so you can say that you've seen what is probably one of the most absurd movies ever made.

Honestly, how can anyone not love a movie where Merlin the Magician is transformed into a magical roll of toilet paper? (He was sleeping in a tree, you see, and it was cut down and turned into various paper products.)A run down satellite in space suddenly picks up the mournful singing of a broken-hearted young man and becomes obsessed. The satellite transforms itself into a young Astro Boy-ish girl robot and flies to Earth to save the boy, who has been changed into a milk cow and is being hunted by a giant incinerator AND a plunger-wielding maniac who wants to steal his liver! That's because the broken-hearted of the world are all transformed into farm animals and their livers are highly-prized because humans think eating them can transform them back to human (just a false rumour as it turns out). See? It all makes perfect sense!Surreal as it all is, the story does have the emotional core of the relationship that develops between the "satellite girl" and the "milk cow". Just give in to the weirdness and you can't hlp but be charmed by this offbeat little masterpiece. Kid friendly? Oh, yeah! My three kids, ages 10, 7 and 6 were all swept up in the story, alternately thrilled, intrigued and teary-eyed.An absolute winner!

I've seen quite a lot of anime and this is one of the most boring i've ever seen ever.Technically is OK. Nothing too spectacular but is well done. But the plot is absurd (and not in a funny way) and you are unable to root for the main characters. The "satellite girl" is as cold as a machine and the boy that is turned into a "milk cow" is a generic character and we could not care less about his broken-heart issues. The villain is very silly and repetitive.There are also other secondary characters that i really don't have a clue what were doing there or why.Do yourself a favor and avoid this movie at any cost.

I don't think I'm that big of an animated guy. Oh sure, I surely love some animated films, but I just don't think they often hit the emotional depths live-action films do, this is partly because I just have mostly seen only American animation. Every time I can branch out in a particular film genre or area, I like to do it. I thought this was pretty good, although I was wishing I would feel the same way some f its reviewers felt. The voice acting is pretty good, and the animation creative. The screenplay is also pretty surprising, and while it does have a standard love story at its core, it's all revolved around pretty different circumstances.
