Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans This one's not like the others since it's an action show.
#Maquia when the promised flower blooms final fantasy series#
This one is a series of shorts so you can watch it won't take much time to watch it. It deals with human interactions with robots and explores a world in which robots are an integral part of society. It's similar to Maquia in the way the story is told over the course of several years.Įve no Jikan A sci-fi show reminiscent of the works of Isaac Asimov. It has the best anime monologue of all time. The story just keeps getting better as it goes on. I really liked the philosophical tone of the anime. Shin Sekai Yori It has some of the best world building, character development and story. Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo and AnoHana are also by the same writer and you should check those out too but this one is my favorite. It has great world building and character development with an interesting story to go with it. Nagi no Asukara It's a coming of age drama with a hint of fantasy and mystery. A powerful feeling from an equally powerful film. What really amazed me after watching such an emotional film was that Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms made me reflect on my own personal life and relationships. But isn’t that life? As Maquia says many times: “I don’t understand.” You join Maquia as she takes the bewildering journey learning about life, personal growth, love, and what it means to be a mother. Characters came and went, questions went unanswered and problems were unresolved. I must admit that there were parts in the story where I was left confused. The theme song is “Viator” by Rionis, which captures the mood of the film splendidly, so enjoy listening to this track for the feels after the film. The composer was Kenji Kawai, who composed for Ghost in the Shell, and also the Ip Man film series! So you know the music is legit. Thematic music playing during the emotional scenes was more than enough to pull on my heartstrings. The combination of the aesthetics of the audio design and fantasy setting made me feel like I was in a JRPG. The music and sound design throughout the film was very immersive. So if you’re a fan of those games’ art styles, you will surely enjoy this visual feast. Akihiko was the character designer for Nier: Automata, Bravely Default and many Final Fantasy titles. The character designer of the film was Yuriko Ishii with original designs done by Akihiko Yoshida. It’s what initially attracted me, and enhanced my enjoyment of the film. The art and visuals were simply gorgeous. Maquia does not disappoint in that regard – prepare tissues. The film was written and directed by Mari Okada, who wrote the screenplay for Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, a much loved series known for its emotional storytelling.
The beauty of this film should be experienced first hand, without my persuasion or further reading of this review.
If you enjoy anime films that tell an emotional story and touch on strong themes about life with beautiful art and sound then I strongly recommend this film. The plot revolves around Maquia, a young Iorph (a clan that becomes immortal in their mid-teens) and Ariel, a mortal baby that Maquia finds and adopts.
Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms is a beautiful telling of the bond between mother and child, set in a fantasy medieval world, where legends such as dragons still exist but are dying out.
