oh i love the book of life. oh colour and detail and unique stylisation and texture and use of lighting to distinguish background and foreground so every aspect of the world is alive. la muerte. yeah
everyone has a ship thats just: theyre perfect. they hate each other. theyre married. they havent spoken in 15 years. they have date nights three times a week. theyre divorced. theyre pining, its unrequited. its requited. theyre starcrossed. theyre meant to be. theyre doomed by the narrative. they love each other. theyve never held hands. they wont stop making out at parties. they cant look each other in the eye
I've held on for as long as I can
For the ones that I had to defend
I've been strong every day of my life
If she wants, death could take me this time
If I could just lay my head down and rest
If there was nothing to fight or protect
Maybe then I could finally be free
Maybe death is like falling asleep
This world is a wasteland where nothing can grow
I used to have strength, but I ran out of hope
I know it's my fault that I'm here all alone
This world is a wasteland
....
I'm not ready to face it
Don't go saying goodbye
There's a beauty in changes
And I wanna try
This world is a wasteland where nothing can grow
If it weren't for you, I'd be here all alone
I know in my heart this is where we belong
This world is a wasteland
Don't let me go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Don't let me go...
Itās the best animated movie Iāve ever seen in my life, plain and simple. And trust me, Iāve seen some masterpieces lately, but nothing comes close to this. Itās the most fluid, beautifully animated, well-directed, and well-composed thing Iāve ever watched. This post isnāt even enough to include images from the movie, because literally every single frame is a better wallpaper than the last. I donāt blame Denji for falling in love with Reze so fast, just watching the movie was more than enough for me to completely fall at her feet in less than an hour jajajajaja.
Overall, the movie is a straight 10/10. The pool scene is one of the most beautiful moments Iāve ever seen; the only things I can recall on that same level are Jinxās dance with Ekko in Arcane, the ending of Kumaās flashback in One Piece, and Takopiās farewell in the series. There might be another moment out there at that level, but for now, those are the ones that left the biggest impact on me. And the final fight? Donāt even get me started. Without a shred of doubt, Iād put it at least in the top 5 best fights in anime history, itās absolutely insane. And to wrap it up, the absolute MVP of the movie was Tralalero Tralala. He tanked everything like a titan and survived the entire movie, what a legend.
I genuinely think this is the last massive thing Iāll watch this year. I highly doubt anything else coming out in what little time is left of the month will reach this level (One Piece doesnāt count). This Sunday Iāll watch it again with my friends. I need to see it again, Iām dying to. Itās way too good to watch only once.
