I usually watch a lot of Japanese anime, but I feel very different from the anime. I'm ashamed to say that I've only watched American comics like "We Bare Bears", "SpongeBob SquarePants", and this "Horse Boy". None of them have a more delicate and refined style like Riman, and the style of painting is relatively rough (the brain fills a picture of an A card and N card comparison), and they are not addicted to girls. It focuses more on social realities - the influence of the family of origin, the dark side of the entertainment industry, political metaphors, animal jokes, dark humor, and more.
Maybe this is due to different markets.
What impressed me the most in the painting of this work was the 11th episode, the countless scenes that overflowed in horseman's mind after drug addiction, and I instantly thought of the montage of Chiyoko's lifelong pursuit of love in "Millennium Actress". This passage is full of imagination, but a bit disgusting and adult, please eat with caution.
The spiritual core of this work is also very profound: when I have fallen from the peak, can I identify with a somewhat failed, not so glamorous me, and tell the world: this is the real me. I'm a little mourned, capricious, addicted to drugs, half-hearted in love, and even fall in love with a friend's girlfriend and abandon friends for my own benefit. But I also have love. I will provide a home for my former "daughter", and I will do my best to help my friends realize the "rock opera". I will do my best to perform a good comedy in the theater, chasing my dream of performing "a generation of proud horses".
In my opinion, the most successful thing about this work is that the complex and complete human nature is portrayed by a few people in the play. Like Todd's three-minute passion, but ultimately no match for the addiction to the game; like Princess Caroline, she knew she would be dumped that night, but she still craved love from others, but her own changes were hard to beat the big changes in the outside world... people , so complicated.
Personal TOP3 animation.
