For sure. It was me trying to answer my own question here:
I had heard that this was worth checking out, and FWIW, I'm glad to have seen it. It was visionary in its scope. It just wasn't cohesive as a story, and there were other hiccups keeping it from being great. Perhaps that's some of the frustration - it's another one of those films where you watch it and you're staggered by the resources, but it still misses despite having the technical bits in place.
What strikes me about it all is that Aki predates Hatsune Miku by over half a decade.
