wasting time

Whether it’s plagiarism or borrowing, I don’t know what Korean and Japanese outsourcing is. I don’t care, just look at his good side: the picture, the soundtrack, a bit of Zen, a bit of spirituality, but what the hell is that plot! Green tea bitch mermaid love triangle? Even the copied skins were destroyed by this scum.
It's not that there is no good in expressing feelings in cartoons, and it is often the love in animation that is more soul-stirring! But it's rare to see something so inexplicable, superficial, and petty.
Known as twelve years, there is a feeling of wasting time.

Lingpo: What brings you to the Island of Souls?
Chun: There's a soul I'm looking for: the soul of a human boy
Lingpo: What time was it he died?
Chun: It was two days before the wheat harvest.
Lingpo: You need to be sure of the date. Otherwise you're searching for a needle in a haystack. So many die every day.
Chun: I'm sure. It was my birthday.
Lingpo: I know what you're trying to do, girl, and it goes against the laws of nature!
Chun: I don't care. I've got to save him!
Lingpo: The punishment is harsh for those who defy nature, no matter who you are, so you *should* care.
Chun: But I owe him, for saving my life.
Lingpo: How very touching. I've been stuck here for 800 years, and I'm still not done paying penance for my sin!
Chun: But you didn't...!
Lingpo: Don't interrupt! Let me tell you what real tragedy is. Meeting someone you care about so much you forget yourself and make a mistake. So then you go back and try to fix it and make things right again, and then you learn that fixing it's impossible.
[chuckles]
Lingpo: We can never undo the wrongs we've done. This I know.
Chun: You're saying you won't help me?
Lingpo: I'm saying I pity you. Besides, resurrecting someone from the dead doesn't come cheap.
Chun: What would it cost?
Lingpo: No less than a lovely girl's loveliest features: your eyes.
Chun: [winces]
Lingpo: [laughing] Now she's scared.
[chuckles]
Lingpo: Don't want to give up your pretty eyes, eh? All right, I'll take half your life instead.
Chun: If that'll save him, take it.
