Kagen no Tsuki might appear really strange/slow/targeted to fangirls only, but I think it would be unfair to underestimate it so much. Even if it's a movie inspired to a manga, and with a singer as one of the actors, in my opinion, it's not bad.
It has its very annoying moments, anyway... - Spoiler alert - The very start is quite slow and makes it look like some romantic crap for teenagers, but if you can get after the birthday scene and the small "tragedies" striking Mizuki, it gets quite interesting later, if you're a person who likes ghost stories, reincarnation and romantic things.
It's not a GREAT film, one of these movies that will make you clap your hands and talk about it to everyone you know, but it grants a good time anyway, especially to people who is more used to Japanese culture in general.
The story is very sad, and a bit too much "romantic" sometimes, like a fairy tale... but some scenes are really well-designed.
Maybe a part of me still likes fairy-tales.

- Spoiler alert 2 - At the very end of the movie, and the titles... you can see both Mizuki and Adam on a boat. That scene is still stuck in my mind. As the "gate" of the house, as symbol to the gate from limbo to the world of dead is another thing I can't forget. Sometimes, when I see a girl handing a present to someone, I immediately remember Sayaka.
