The film advances the story in a relatively simple order, starting from daily unfolding, unexpected crises, fermenting crises, twists and turns of struggle, and finally a happy ending. The director entrusted the important task of retaining the world to a group of ordinary young people. The huge difference in strength aroused the interest of the audience.

In terms of performance, there are many scenes where many people are together, which is difficult to handle in animation, but the film is very lively and very comfortable.
