I want to talk about everything, but nothing is explained clearly. It is superficial and the plot is not smooth. Some take it for granted.

A slight dystopia, there is always a contrast of extreme desolation after the extreme prosperity, although it is old-fashioned, I like it.

And the climax plot does not explode with sound effects, but with soothing music. This is a good habit, and it reminds me that ruffians are also good at destroying BGM.

In the end, it's still a story about courtship.

Surprisingly, I think Locke is the best character, cold but full of warmth.

But Duke Rhett's nose always reminds me of Akutagawa's novels, I really want to throw my feet on the ground...

Although the animation was made in 2001, and the original comic book was in 1949, the combination of steampunk and jazz is really the most dreamy! ! !

I have to say that I really love the steampunk style, and it goes well with jazz, which I don’t really like. Don't say it, go to loop the original sound.

If I have a chance, I will go and read the 27th edition.

  • [first title card]

    Title Card: "Every epoch dreams its successor." - Jules Michelet

  • Duke Red: [is wearing ancient Babylonian-style clothes and standing on a platform. The background behind him is in Sepia tone and clouds are moving about] At this moment we as a nation are about to touch the stars! I tremble at the honour of announcing the culmination of mankind's history of intellectual and scientific achievement. Yesterday our power spanned the Earth, today it can illuminate the heavens! May it stand forever! Our Ziggurat!
