Inu-Oh

Inu-oh is one of the worst productions I've watched this year and I expected way too much from him. He brought fantasy, music labels, and some beautiful stills, which made me look forward to it.

The story seems to be related to the history of the Heike family in Japan? It begins with an urban legend that two officials (I think so) came to the sea and begged the fishermen to take them on a treasure hunt, apparently to find a sword, which unsheathed supernatural powers and the boy lost his sight , his father died. The blind boy then grows up and becomes a musician, during which he befriends the ugly monster inu-oh and helps him transform into a human form while performing with inu-oh.

However, this nearly two-hour movie, apart from its exquisite ukiyo-e style, is really lackluster. It's not a complete, tight story, and if you pay attention to the plot, you'll be as confused as I am: because his plot is weak, and there are many nonsensical passages that I didn't understand. For example, there is no explanation from the beginning to the end why inu-oh's abnormal body will return to its original state after the performance, and the relationship between the man with the evil mask and inu-oh at the end of the movie (maybe I didn't watch it carefully, but this movie It's too ugly) The most unbearable thing is the music bridge in the movie, all the singing is very ugly, very tormented, but the length is very long.

This is a movie with its audience, many people think it is very good, it seems to have won an award at the Venice Film Festival. However, if you don't know the film and its director very well, it's hard to have fun with this film.

Absolutely amazing animation. Unfortunately, the story lacks cohesion across the entire film, along with any strong points to the events portrayed. The music scenes were a great highlight alongside the visually brilliant set pieces. But Inu-Oh's singing was laughably bad (particularly his vibrato). The ending also leaves a lot to desire as well.

I'd recommend this to anyone into unique presentations and doesn't mind a story without a clear point to the overall narrative. Fans of animation will find something to enjoy here. Especially with Inu-Oh's masterful work, artistry, and technical precision. It's definitely cool to observe on a big screen.

I actually enjoyed it despite the plot not being clearly and etc. I took a bit of break here and their to try figuring out the plot or trying to think or other stuff. But the music was good. The story was good if you can actually figure out the art was amazing. VFX omg loved it I watched it in the japan/Chinese's or the language that it was in. Imma watch it in the English's if they have a English's version. But I still wondered what happen to the sword :^ I'm sure they dropped in the water. And the voice what happen to them and the sword with the blood a lot of detail I wanna know to bad i can't.

No pun intended - I am used to animated movies going places real movies can't go. In this case a lot of songs are added - maybe that is why this is not as out there as other movies are. Still this is well animated (again no pun intended) and has a coherent story and a main character who we can relate to.

That said, I do have friend who do not accept animated movies at all. No matter what they are or represent. Just go with the flow here - watch it in the original audio too if you can to fully immerse yourself in the experience. Suspend your disbelief too - because as the movie says: everything is fiction! And everything is awesome ... of course that is another movie - also quite animated. Can you dig it?

I can't begin to describe how disappointing this movie was.

I saw so many people exclaiming how much they loved it, i have seen a lot of Yuasas other work and was very excited to check this out. I have seen people compare it to Belladonna of Sadness and Akira Kurosawa.

What trainspires is nonsense storytelling, terrible visuals, and for a movie about music, the music was truly terrible. I am questioning everything i have ever known about anime, and feel like all of Yuasa's other work is completely soiled by this tragedy. Watch it if you like suffering and ruining your heroes, or if you think you have seen a bad disaster of a film before and think you couldn't see anything worse.

It gets worse, i promise.
