I really liked the plot. It made you really think, "ok, how are they going to get out of this?" and I really liked the English dub.

Hard to rate because it is only pure entertainment.
Effectively physics doesn't apply the same way it does in our world, I guess it is the point. Fights remains quite impressive when they are not contaminated by those acrobatics. I still mustHard to rate because it is only pure entertainment.
