The animated film Leeds and the Blue Bird is an anime produced and released by Kyoto Animation in 2018, and in principle it is the TV anime "Blow! The sequel to the main film of "On the Bass Horn", but in essence, I think its completion is close to "animated film", rather than "animated theatrical version", and the independence is very high, even if I have not seen the original "Blow! On the Bass Horn" I still think it has the value of independent viewing and is quite artistic and ornamental.
However, "Liz and the Blue Bird" is not a mass entertainment work, but a very meticulous depiction of the subtle friendship between girls, which is a relatively niche literary and artistic work. It does not have the ups and downs of the "blockbuster" plot, nor does it have violent emotional fluctuations, but belongs to a more realistic, emotional change between girls, focusing on the process, not the result.
It is reported that this animation has set up an official certification in China on Weibo.
This means that "Leeds and the Blue Bird" is likely to be introduced in China, and it is only a matter of time before it is released. There are only 3500 fans at present, which also shows that this movie should be a relatively niche work even among anime fans, but the niche does not affect the quality of the work, and I think that even two years after 2020, this work is still worth recommending. With the gradual resumption of domestic entertainment facilities and reopening, if it is successfully introduced, I hope that everyone will also go to the cinema to support a wave of Jing Ani and support it with practical actions.
The official positioning of this work is "the movie "Leeds and the Blue Bird", not the "animated theatrical version", which I think also shows the official understanding of this work. The realistic style will also make many viewers refreshed and worth looking forward to.
