#CLANNAD MOVIE TERRIBLE FULL#

She’s pure, kind, and the smile she gives Hiroki and Takuya comes as if it’s from an angel. Makoto Shinkai treated Sayuri as of she’s almost a sort of goddess. Sayuri later takes an even more important role in the movie, and become a valuable figure in the conflict of the movie. She was the centre of Hiroki’s and Takuya’s happiness in their last summer in middle school. Her sweet, innocent voice ringed like a bell and her conversations with the boys were endearing and cheerful. From her dainty fingers to her bare legs, to her puppy-like movements whenever she’s excited, Shinkai tried to emphasize the importance of her role in the story by making the audience grow to like her personality and qualities. What did these mysterious words mean? In this movie, Makoto Shinkai made Sayuri very feminine by showing us screenshots of Sayuri’s very subtle movements. I always have a premonition of losing something. But after the summer of their third year in middle school, Sayuri mysteriously disappears. She and Hiroki and Takuya makes a promise together to fly the plane together when it is done and go to the tower. Both boys admired two things: the white tower, and the heroine, Sayuri Sawatari, who befriends them. Hiroki and Takuya, two hard-working middle schoolers, are best friends working towards a goal – building a plane left over from the war and flying it towards the mysterious, white tower that divides Japan from the rest of the world. Let me give you a brief synopsis without trying to spoil you anything. It’s a wonderful film to analyze and critique, just like with Shinkai’s other movies, but The Promised Place is particularly so. It is a poetic masterpiece with meaningful symbolism, foreshadowing, and imagery everywhere. If you ask me what are some of my most favourite anime movies, I would say The Place Promised in our Early Days. Hiroki, did that beautiful, white plane reach the tower? It’s all right, no matter what the future will hold. This movie is beautiful, moving, and pure, and I’m sure you will feel that way too after watching it. You can learn more about this movie at P.A. I even requested a Youtuber to play it, and she got someone to sing a cover of it too. The ending theme song, Viator, is really nice.

The animation was beautiful and refreshing like the blue sky, and the character designs were so cute. Or maybe the part about the baby growing up made me really emotional. Maybe it’s because I went in with absolutely no knowledge of spoilers. I had to ponder on why I liked it so much. For Maquia, my opinion towards it was totally different. I just saw it as just another moe show about generic high schoolers. I remember the time I watched The Anthem of the Heart in theatres-it was very boring and uninteresting. Maquia’s character development was well played. It’s another show about family and sacrifice. If you liked Clannad, I think you will like Maquia. Credit: Eleven ArtsĪnyways, I’ll stop talking about him and Nagi no Asu for now (because I can talk forever about him and the show). The dub sounded so wonderful in the trailer. That was how invested he was into the series.

If you go to his Twitter, it’s full of Nagi no Asukara. It was his first time drawing for a fantasy series, he said, so for reference he had to refer to emotions he had when he was a kid. He said in an interview that in Nagi no Asukara, he had put his entire soul into the art. The way he draws his skies differs according to the setting and the atmosphere of the show. His clean 3-D backgrounds fits perfectly for the modern anime today. He’s worked on the backgrounds for Angel Beats, Hanasaku Iroha, and Nagi no Asukara. If you’ve never heard of him, or vaguely remembered his complicated name, let me do an introduction.

It was from his Twitter where I learned he was working on this new film. I’m also a big fan of the background artist, the famous Kazuki Higashiji. She worked on Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day and The Anthem of the Heart: Beautiful Word, Beautiful World. So, I was eager to watch this. I’m sure you must of heard of her-she’s known for her works with long titles. I watched Maquia this summer with a special someone! I watched it in theatres this summer with a special someone and teared up in a few parts. It goes under the high fantasy category but the central themes is around universal human values. It is a film about motherhood and sacrifice. Have you watched Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms yet?
