Full intracranial orgasm. Exaggerated imagination and artistic expression, rich and clear viewpoints and themes, clear logic and editing genius. I still remember what Jonathan Blow said in Braid's interview. When the author couldn't understand the deeper aesthetic philosophy of his works, even if he got a superficial applause, he was out of anger and disappointment. That's how it feels right now - just as an audience - my brain is completely unable to fully accommodate and understand so much content, I can only superficially applaud, so I really feel very guilty as an unqualified audience.

This animated film is Yuasa's first work, so you can see too many shadows of his later works, exaggerated colors and artistic expression "Spring Night is Too Short", dynamic perspective and painting tension "Ping Pong", dance and music "Declaring the Dawn" The Song of Dew"...Even in the OP of "Image Research", which is being serialized now, you can see the shadow of the most exciting last running scene of this work. Even so, each work is still so different, it makes people feel that this is Yuasa, it must be another surprise! That's why I like Yuasa more than Miyazaki. Since Jin Min, the more geniuses I have come into contact with, the easier it becomes to admit that I am an ordinary person...

The resources I looked for this time are not particularly high-definition. I saw the high-definition version on the B station just after watching it. I was so pissed, I found a chance to re-flash "Mind Game" and "Spring Night Bitterly Short" again.

Mind Game quotes

  • Nishi: We've gotta leave. It's that or drown.

    Yan: But how?

    Nishi: The boat, of course!

    Myon: The cops'll be looking for us.

    Nishi: So?

    Myon: The Yakuzas'll come after us!

    Nishi: So what! I wanna get out! 'Cos there's so much out there! So many different people, living different lives! Incredibly good guys, bad guys... Folks completely different from us! It's one huge melting pot! See, it's not about success, dying in the streets, who's better, who's not! I just want to be a part of it! I realized that even if I've no connections, no talent, even if I'm one big loser, I want to use my hands and feet to think and move, to shape my own life! We can just die here or we can try, see what we've got!

  • Nishi: This roller-coaster you're trying to stop is a genuine Angel Express. And I can see you moved to tears as you watch that mystic angel spread its wings and disappear into the sky. OK?

    Yakuza boss: The fuck?
