Traditionally, I’m a massive fan of most modern anime, although there was something about this one that didn’t connect with me. I didn’t dislike it, but it didn’t have that same magic as many others. I was also caught off guard by the adult themes in the film. Not one for the kids!<\/p>\n

The film itself wasn’t bad; maybe it was a little bit drawn out but not bad. The IMDb synopsis reads, “The last survivor of a band of warriors is enslaved in a salt mine. One night, savage dogs attack, and a mysterious disease wipes out everyone at the mine. The warrior escapes with a little girl while a gifted physician looks for a cure.”<\/p>\n

An exciting story, but there just seemed to be this disconnect that I was used to. Probably more of a problem with my expectations than the film itself. It was indeed a beautiful film; there is something about the hand-drawn animation style that has so much more warmth than anything CGI can match.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the film lost its way the further it got into the story. In the begging, we had this beautiful story that progressively seemed to get more off track. I would’ve liked to see a deeper dive into the characters and their origins. Instead, it felt more like we were just jumping into their stories and plots that we were supposed to understand.<\/p>\n

As I’ve stated time and time again, please don’t take my word as gospel. Film is such a subjective experience. I’m just here to share my thoughts and feelings about my experience. I prefer everyone to have their own experiences and make up their minds.<\/p>\n

I will be screening INU-OH from GKIDS soon, and I hope I enjoy it more.<\/p>\n
