It is incredible that a 1988 film can be so shocking. I can't help thinking, if this is a live-action movie, and then put on special effects like Transformers, you will be absolutely shocked and speechless. But Hollywood shouldn't invest so much money in a movie that is too bloody and grotesque.
This is the animated movie I've seen with the most explosions. Inside, the red motorcycle was bombed by bombs, and it was full of wind.
I believe that Akira Toriyama must have been inspired after watching this movie. In Dragon Ball, he used the elements of volley flight, explosion, and qigong wave, which flew directly from the earth to space.
The somewhat disgusting scene where the broken arm was replaced by a machine and a vascular tumor vaguely felt like it was imitated by a lot of later Japanese anime. For example, in an episode of Gintama, a guy was devoured by a magic sword and became like that.
The plot feels a little incomplete. I don't know if there is a prequel or a sequel to this work. I feel that there are some places before and after that have not been explained. It may be limited to the length of time, and only the most prominent contradictions and the most intense parts of the scene are retained.
In addition, it feels that even in Japan, such exquisite and realistic animations are becoming more and more rare. I guess the specific reason is that such works are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and may not necessarily make money. It's better to make some relatively simple animations instead of this. Well, in fact, I don't know much about the current situation of Japanese theatrical animation, but I have this feeling. If that's the case, old classic anime like this are even more valuable. Although this weird style of the Japanese is somewhat unpleasant, the whole plot is carefully arranged, and the whole story can be seen in one go. Let the directors of domestic films learn.
