1* BreatherEpisode: {{Lighter|AndSofter}} than the majority of Creator/SatoshiKon's works, which range from {{Drama|Tropes}} to PsychologicalHorror and usually provide a more cynical and often nightmarish depiction of mankind and Japanese society. This one is more of a comedy that rests firmly on the idealistic end of [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism the sliding scale]], and was also released between ''Anime/MillenniumActress'' and ''Anime/ParanoiaAgent'', the former being a TearJerker and the latter [[NightmareFuel very dark and intense]].
2* MoralEventHorizon: The nameless hoodlums crossed it when they gravely beat and injured a homeless old man ForTheEvulz.
3* TearJerker: A lot. Miyuki's dream sequence may count. "Where's my angel? What have you done with Angel?"
4* ValuesResonance: Hana, a homeless transgender woman, is depicted as a person in this film, rather than a joke character ([[FairForItsDay though her identity is still the butt of jokes occasionally]]). Not too shabby for something from 2003.
5* TheWoobie: The three main characters, with their sad backstories and pitiful living conditions, certainly qualify, as does [[spoiler:the movie's AntiVillain, Sachiko.]]
