A very different kind of theater anime. The 2.5D picture is not as dizzy as 3D, but also has a sense of realism that 2D animation does not have. To be honest, I didn't quite understand just watching one episode of the theater, so I added a little background to get a general understanding of the story. In order not to forget the pain of war, human beings who enjoy peace have developed a system of androids and war companies specially designed to perform wars. These android children (who cannot grow up) are used to replace human beings, and they fly planes to kill each other. The appearance and personality of the artificial human can be set. The experience of dead androids can also be transplanted to new androids, that is, they are just props used to perform wars. It's such a profound setting. The slow dialogue and lines are full of inexplicable, delicate and empty pictures, but I unexpectedly like this style. I know a new supervisor, Oshii Shou, the supervisor of Ghost in the Shell, and his style unexpectedly suits my taste. I feel that this film is a bit like the sound of the sky, the style of painting, the characters, the rhythm. The lines are full of meaning, and the characters' personalities are also very unique. Although I can't express myself well in words, this is really a great work that fills in a lot of things that I lack.
