After burning into slag, what remains is not only ashes

Most of the evaluations given by the people who watched this film were flammable, too flammable. And my feeling is that it is true that burning is not enough, but burning is far from everything. Some people say it's a waste, but I don't agree at all. This work can become a well-deserved masterpiece, not only because of burning, but also because of the surging forward momentum and the possibility of striving for dreams that it represents. Not only that, the protagonist has failures, confusion, and progress in the process of growing up; the comrades who fought side by side have changed, returned, and died, all of which make this film get rid of the stereotyped happy reunion comedy and become a bloody comedy. Tears are divine works with burning and connotation.
The whole work can be roughly divided into four parts, each of which has a different opening narration. Together, it depicts a man who discovers his destiny, fights with destiny, is betrayed by destiny and finally develops his own destiny. The story is highly summarized. at the same time suffocating. The handling of the ending did not give a conventional happy ending. Not only that, in the last few episodes, the supporting characters with full personality caused the protagonist to leave abruptly or tragically, especially the disappearance of the heroine in the end, which added a lot to the work. The tragic color also made me feel the writer's Bushido complex. The world is not always perfect, and to be successful requires sacrifice. Grief should be more than a mourning for a lost life, but a driving force to move forward.
Although the rhythm of the plot is slightly protracted in a few episodes, it generally maintains a high rhythm, especially the later development of the plot, which can be called a twist of turns and climaxes. The overall performance of the work is full of unique tension, coupled with the novel body setting, the final battle of the galaxy, etc., which highlights the unrestrained imagination, and these are just what ordinary film and television dramas cannot do, and the unique charm of animation. In addition, the various intentional settings, world structure, drill, screw force, etc. in the film can all experience the implied meaning of the production team. All of this greatly enhances the overall expressiveness of the entire work. In just 27 short episodes, human beings sprinted from underground cave dwellers to the creators of high-level civilizations who entered the universe, forming a rather magnificent plot development. Coupled with the timely commentary, it fully reflects the theme that the production team wants to convey to the audience—— As long as you never give up, the drill bit in the ground can also break through the sky. The progress and development of people depend on this kind of fighting spirit and perseverance.
The viewing time of episode 27 burned in a mess, but what remains after burning is not just ashes.
