Otomo's color

When I first watched it, I felt so boring. The contrast of the colors was so strong that it was too dazzling. The child had an old face, a chaotic world, and a scene of doomsday. Although it was a cartoon, it was very realistic. I watched it. It took a long time to continue watching it, and then I couldn't take my eyes off it. After reading it for the first time, I still can't get enough of it. I still remember the shocking feeling. The feeling of seeing a masterpiece is very refreshing and very rare.

This is the first Otomo Keyang work that I have watched. Just like Jin Min's work, I put myself in it without hesitation. These two and several other god-level masters are really~~tsk tsk tsk, please accept my worship ~~When

Tie Xiong ran out for the first time, he met some doctors and guards. I naively thought that it would be like other cartoons. Tie Xiong punched them a few times, but I didn't expect...

This film has made me see my naivety again and again, and the idea of ​​the world full of beautiful fantasies coddled by other cartoons. Of course, this film is not desperate at all, and it is not a doomsday series. The degree of burning is not as good as EVA. When reading other film reviews, I saw a word, "dystopia", which felt very accurate. So far.

    With a vigorous middle-school atmosphere. A hodgepodge of recipes: a little cyberpunk (Neo Tokyo's futuristic urban landscape), a little Frankenstein (Frankenstein), a little Cthulhu (AKIRA is close to the underwater monster in Cthulhu mythology, and In charge of the function of a cult god and totem), a little dystopia, and finally tells a story similar to "Super Body", which also alludes to the fear of the destruction of the world caused by nuclear energy. The motorcycle boy of the beastly clan is the savior, and the few scientific villains with supernatural abilities are as weird as "Ghosts Returning to the Soul". Generally speaking, the painting style is ugly, and the sound effects are so simple that there is almost no ambient sound. If it weren't for the prophecy that "the Tokyo Olympics will be adjourned due to the full outbreak of the new crown 147 days before the opening of the Olympic Games", I would not have been able to hold this chewy film to the end. Look at it in 1988, Samsung.
