I'm referring to the live-action film from 2010 (which obviously didn't exist at the time you wrote this, so you must have referred to an earlier one). So let me rephrase: the 2010 live-action isn't worth watching - I have no idea about any earlier adaptations as I have not seen them. I just saw the date of your post….

The ending initially left me unsatisfied, but I rewatched the film (quite a lot of times, by now) and eventually made peace with it, because I realised that I perhaps approaching it too much from a Western perspective, expecting a certain kind of narrative (and closure). Now, I rather appreciate the fact there a plenty of things in this film that aren't certain at all. Don't watch the live-action by the way (which came after I believe - the voice actress for Makoto also plays the main character in the live-action). It tells a different story, more closely related to the original novel I believe. I have skimmed the original novel as well but couldn't appreciate it much either - but I'm a literature snob :-) I actually liked the ‘change of gears’ – it took the film to a whole other level for me (never mind that I was fascinated by those 7.5 minutes that a ‘film’ essentially became a ‘photograph’).
