Another week, another possible Oscar nominee for animation. I\u2019ve had a busy \u201cearly Oscar season\u201d this year already. Having already watched GOODBYE, DON GLEES!, INU-OH, LIGHTYEAR, MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON, THE DEER KING, THE SEA BEAST, and TURNING RED, I should have a pretty solid start to the animation category once the shortlist comes out in December.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always had a contentious relationship with the Academy and the animation category; while I always attempt to watch every Oscar-nominated film yearly before the Oscars, it always feels like the animation category is the least competitive. Of the twenty-one years, animation has had its category, only six Oscars have gone to anyone other than Disney (Pixar), so 71.43% of the entire category has gone outside the House of Mouse. That had nothing to do with the film outside of a personal issue.<\/p>\n

This film was done by Studio Colorido, another animation studio specializing in anime. That\u2019s two studios in two days that I was pretty much new to in terms of their catalog. I haven\u2019t seen anything else from this studio, although they have a much shorter history. The exciting thing about anime is that there is usually a pretty consistent quality in terms of the animation itself. Not to say all anime is created equal, but for someone who pretty much only watches the potential Oscar nominees in the genre, I don\u2019t feel that I\u2019m an expert on the genre.<\/p>\n

I do, however, know what I like and don\u2019t like about films. This wasn\u2019t on the level of some of my all-time favorites, mainly because I felt the story was a little thin. I didn\u2019t feel the same connection to the characters that I have in others. I will say that the fantastical element was here; the film felt larger than life and had a lot of heart.<\/p>\n

The good thing is that Netflix makes anime accessible to all, offering an English dubbed version on the day of release (along with the original language track and subtitles, if you prefer.)<\/p>\n
