Review of Wonderful Days

6/10
unoriginal, though wonderfully animated
24 April 2005
Don't discriminate others for their social status and pollution is bad for you. That is, to the full extend, everything this movie has to say.

Oh, and that Production I.G. (Ghost in the Shell: Innocence) aren't the only ones who can incorporate 3D and 2D animation like nobody's business.

The animation, yes, is beautiful. There's some shots in this movie, that are so complicated and complex, a less dedicated production team would've just given up on.

There are several shots that seemed unnecessarily cheap though, where they simply took shots of 'real' rain and cloud and mixed it in with the animation. Looked bloody awful.

Other than the animation, there's really nothing much to talk about, expect how incredibly boring and unoriginal the story, character, and theme were.

If you're looking for an anime film with intelligence, go for 'Ghost in the Shell: Innocence'. If you're looking for one with a touching story, go for 'Tokyo Godfathers'. If you want a better one about saving the environment, go for 'Princess Mononoke".

If not for the damned good animation, there's really no other reason to go for 'Wonderful Days'.
