Neo Tokyo: 6/10


My feeble mind was no match for this film😂 What a trippy watch. In typical Katsuhiro Otomo fashion (director of Akira), this was an absolute gorgeous visual experience. Gorgeous, but a bit too mind bending for me. It was easy on the eyes and such a treat artistically, but I couldn’t quite get behind, nor understand what was going on. It’s a film that’s split into three shorts. Each short was different when it comes to art style and storytelling, and I did really like that. It was cool to see the contrast between stories, but the film unfortunately doesn’t put enough time into each short to fulfill you. It did offer a solid voice cast, score and sound design though🤔


The stories are all pretty random and confusing, but it’s the first short that hurt my brain the most. I was so lost. I couldn’t help but admire the bold and dreamlike visuals, but the story just never did anything for me. It’s partially because they were shorts, but also because they were aggressively complex. I think this film will give any hardcore anime fan their fix, but I don’t think it will totally click with non anime fans. Luckily, I’m right in the middle. I didn’t love the stories, but the visuals kept me locked and engaged. If you’re looking for something to watch while you’re high, this ain’t a bad option👌🏼 It’s a passable and okay watch.


IMDb: 7.1
