Recently, the theater animation "The Man Who Knows the Blue Sky" has released a trailer PV, which will be released in Japan on October 11, 2019. It is reported that the film is expected to be introduced in China, but the final result is still unknown. So what's so interesting about this movie?
The Man Who Knows the Blue sky is an original animated film directed by Ryuyuki Nagai, written by Okada Andari, and designed by Shoga Tanaka.
The theatrical animation "The Man Who Knows the Blue sky" takes the town around the mountain as the location of the story, focusing on the story between Aoi, a sophomore who dreams of a musician, and Akane, and his sister Akane, and Akane's ex-boyfriend Shinnosuke Kanemuro, this complex entanglement and relationship shows the youthful feelings and pains of youth.
One of the reasons why the news of the film's release has received so much attention is because of the team behind it. Screenwriter Okada Hassato has written many excellent anime scripts with a bias towards the healing department, and one of her most famous works is probably "We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day", which is widely known and sought after for its successful portrayal of characters such as Mask and Hita and delicate emotional expressions that resonate with audiences. In addition, Okada's other masterpieces such as "Tears of Truth" and "Dragon and Tiger" are also very good. Her screenwriting works are more in the style of youth drama, focusing on the youth growth life of young girls, her characters are very delicate, the psychological portrayal is very in place, the story is warm and healing, but it is also very tear-inducing. And director Nagai Ryuyuki is also okada's old partner, the two have cooperated several times, creating many excellent anime works. It is also because their excellent predecessors have accumulated a lot of good word-of-mouth, so the animation trailer of "The Man Who Knows the Blue sky" has attracted much attention as soon as it was released.
The theme story of this film is also the genre that the audience prefers, telling the emotional story of several young boys and girls in youth. Coupled with the blessing of the screenwriter and director, the quality of the film has a certain guarantee. Of course, there are also many people who are skeptical of this work. In recent years, there have been many movies that tell the story of youth in Japanese comics, most of the stories are similar, there are no surprises, and only a few have won some word of mouth with their outstanding performances in other aspects. The market for campus youth animation films has become saturated, and audiences have become more and more critical in their tastes and eyes after watching one work after another with the same theme. Whether "The Man Who Knows the Blue sky" can tell an unconventional youth story will be one of the highlights.
In addition, the dubbing lineup of the movie is also very good, and it should not disappoint with the voices of Ryo Yoshizawa, Riho Yoshioka, Shinoe Wakasayama, Ken Matsudaira and others. In terms of painting style, referring to the previous work, it should be a more literary and fresh style, which is more gentle and comfortable in visual effects, and may not be easy to shine, but it is not easy to make mistakes.
Although the film is scheduled to be released in Japan on October 11, 2019, it is unclear whether domestic audiences will have a chance to see it. There is news that the country is expected to introduce this movie, so we will wait quietly. I look forward to this work being released in China and recalling the bits and pieces of youth. When it is released, you can watch how the film performs, whether it surpasses the previous work, or encounters word-of-mouth Waterloo.
