The plot is nothing to write home about and the execution is very uneven, but the theme appeals to me and the central characters work well enough. Against my better judgement, I liked it. It starts out weak and goes on being so until about halfway through, but comes together fairly well by the end, and the more I think about it afterwards, the more it seems to me that its treatment of the theme wasn't all bad.
I think the way the beginning is set up is meant to convey a feeling of something big starting to unravel, but it didn't work for me. Instead, it felt like an overly long introduction of background material. The latter half pulls it into focus a bit, but not enough to justify devoting that much time to it. All of the really effective scenes are in the latter half, too. It is good to have an appropriate climax, but not at the expense of the greater part of the work.
And, yeah, the sexy Gottsan content definitely gets a 10/10.
