The film centers on four Japanese high school girls involved in enjo kosai, or compensated dating, where older businessmen pay teenage girls for their time or, in rare cases, prostitution. The main character, Hiromi, struggles with finding direction in life compared to her friends. When they plan to buy her a ring, Hiromi refuses to accept all the money and instead dates alone to raise the funds. As she gets deeper into the world of enjo kosai, Hiromi becomes trapped in her desire to preserve her "friends-forever" ideal. (Source: kisskh) Edit Translation

I love Anno's directing here every shot is either beautiful, creative, unique, or all three at the same time. Constant interesting angles helps the film never get dull. Some very uncomfortable and disturbing scenes were amplified by Anno doing a POV shot of literally everything. Combined with the great soundtrack there are some really cool scenes.

Interesting commentary on perversion and sexualisation in Japan from some girls chasing material but empty desires, and some men who are pathetic and lonely and others who are screwed in the head.
