It's average 3DCG animation, average character designs, and the main physical transformation that Youzou undergoes is fairly generic in appearance. The art style gets the job done but it's not a standout. The movie is a vague and generic story about humans succumbing to some kind of corruption that turns them into monsters, and the oppressive government and police agencies that keep society running as they see fit. In this case however, the result doesn't have much merit on its own. This in itself is not necessarily a bad thing plenty of adaptations of written works become something entirely different on the big screen. The character names are mostly used (Youzou, Horiki, Takeichi, Hiiragi), but their personalities and motivations

The movie makes use of the title of a very famous piece of Japanese literature by Osamu Dazai, "No Longer Human." Unfortunately, any relation this movie has to that book is all surface-level. Miyano Mamoru tends to be attached to good projects, but this one felt like a mistake. premiere at Anime Expo, but my expectations weren't nearly low enough for this.

It's both mindless and devoid of entertaining action - unsatisfying in every regard.
