Sky High - 2003 - 6/10
AKA - Sukai Hai // スカイハイ

Killed on her wedding day (heart ripped out) Mina stands at the gate of the afterlife.
Three choices offered: Ascend and reincarnate. Wander the Earth as a ghost. Or vengeance.
Mina opts for Door #3, despite the cost being damnation to Hell.
Supernatural / Fantasy has intriguing ideas, a parallel mystery investigation, adequate leads.
This is excessive, however. Everything is too much, especially the running time.
The film feels padded, and lacks the furious momentum of the director’s previous film, Versus.
Later research revealed that is was made as a prequel for a popular Sky High TV series.
Following the film, there was a S02.
I have watched neither series, but they may inform the movie.
