Hosoda Shou's usual three-year sword, this sword is gentle and without sharpness. Two children were born in the same year after the release of "Son of the Wolf (おおかみこどもの Rain and Snow)" in 2012 and "Son of the Monster (バケモノの子)" in 2015 respectively. This experience also brought the director A return to the basics of creativity. The story of "Wei" is simple and pure, and it is a big adventure in the brain interpreted from the perspective of the eldest son who has not let go of his childishness at home. Through the delicate 2D frames of each frame, the audience can see the petition and jealousy of children, the embarrassment of housewives and men, and that's it. What may disappoint fans is that the director's iconic extraordinary imagination seems to have been suddenly swallowed up by the flood of innocence this time, leaving only the old bridges that get lost. As one of the three mesozoic heroes in the neon animation industry in the author's mind (as well as Cheng Ge and Mi Lin Hongchang), the amazing talents shown in the previous works seem to be no longer so dazzling now. For animators, it's probably a hurdle (I hope it's just the author's false words, the director wants to shoot more ideas).
