CHILDREN WHO CHASE LOST VOICES MOVIE REVIEW

 

CHILDREN WHO CHASE LOST VOICES MOVIE REVIEW (MARCH 29, 2019)
-MAKOTO SHINKAI


Overall: 8.4

Plot: 7

Not looking at the genre of this story, never did I thought that it will show a very different one than what I'd expected it to be. It will catch the viewers attention and incite them to go further through the story. It was fascinating at first. The way every details of it falls and gives more impact on how the story goes, how every information makes their way to be known to their audience is interesting. What I find lacking is its capability to sustain the kind of concept it started. No matter how exciting a story was, the need to justify every bit of information that was shown to the viewer is very very important. 

The story takes place on a rural area focusing on a girl who has a hobby of searching for sounds on her self created equipment. One day, he met a guy who saved her life and that triggers her to start an adventure in a place known as Agartha. In real life, that place is said to be located in the deepest of earth and the only way to get there is through the North Pole, where there are civilization that is not known to us and a paradise can be experience. Well, not that I know if that is true. The concept of the story is interesting, the overall journey is thrilling. But yeah, the unanswered questions and loopholes will left you hanging.

Characters: 8

Asuna is a brilliant student with a hobby of climbing up mountains everyday to pick up sounds on her equipment. She is an independent one, in terms of housework and studies. She does things by herself and got suddenly attached by someone who saved her life. Along the story, it show how rash she can be with her decisions and just go with the flow. Thus, perfectly matches the age of her character. The other character that came along with her in the journey has much more conviction and purpose. He has a reason and will to stand against anything that will cross their way, just to have that thing he wanted the most and that is what makes him the best character for me. The thing about the other characters are the explanation on why they've done something in the first place. The lack of information makes them senseless and made their appearance just a part of something insignificant. 

Sound and Animation: 10

The classical music at the start of the story is breathtaking. It was full of emotions and it feels like the scenario itself is inviting you on their world. It was so good to hear. With the voices of the characters matches their expressions, it was a great watch. Since this anime is an old one, the expectation on the animation is not too high. But the action scenes on it, the way it portrays the character, and the uniqueness of every other entities existing on the story is way too magnificent that you won't remember that this was created a long time ago. 

Enjoyment: 9

Watching science fiction is life. It is great to see things that have even a slight chance of existing. It is great to think that somewhere, a different entity, species, place that we don't know of exist. I love the genre of the story and how their adventure take them to places they believe exists and see that they are correct.  Though there are some invalid actions and explanations, the whole adventure thing is cool and fun to watch. 

Ending: 8

How the story ended is way too unrealistic even if the genre of the story itself is science fiction. Stories don't have a happy ending just because they want to. There are things that does not add up and that makes the ending too fairytale like. The one thing that caught my attention is the climax of the story which is unexpected, due to the fact that it comes out from something common. It will intrigue the viewer since they will think that they know and already predicted how the twist goes but it will fail them, and that is where the uniqueness came from.

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIES 1 2 3 SUMMARY

KUROKO NO BASKET MOVIES 1 2 3 SUMMARY -TADATOSHI FUJIMAKI 1. Movie 1 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Kage to Hikari 2. Movie 2 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Namida no Saki e 3. Movie 3 Winter Cup Soushuuhen - Tobira no Mukou Movie one, two, and three is a summarize version of Season one, two, and three. Though unlike the Season one series where it tackles first the plays Seirin made in order to participate in the Winter Cup and Season 2 moving on to the tournament itself, the Movies focuses on the Winter Cup alone and show only a bit of introduction from the Season one series. The movies consist of the highlights and the outplays Team Seirin did in order to defeat every team with a Generation of Miracles member. It is a waste not to watch them but I decided not to. Not because it will be a waste of time but I know that watching it will make my memory jumble. Since I've watched each episodes of all three seasons, I already know how the story goes. But apart from that fact, every bit of extras, no...
