MATASABURO of the Wind

There isn't much to this movie because it's only 22 minutes long but it's pretty good for a short relaxing film to pass time. Story - 7/10: They story was pretty basic, girl meets famous wind god, goes away and leaves clues about what she did behind. Art - 9/10: The art style is actually more to my preference than say the mainstream art style these days e.g. the art style of AssClass/Yuri on Ice. It gives a feeling of oldness (idk if that makes sense) and just makes the film itself more enjoyable. Sound - 9/10: Can't really say much about this aside from it matches the overallstory very well. Character - 7/10: There isn't much on the development but the producers kind of left us on a cliff hanger with the girl and boy's relationship. It would've been better to either make a sequel developing the characters further or simply making their relationship as a come and go one instead of having the girl seem like she doesn't want to go back to the city after staying at the boy's house OR making the girl refuse the offer to go back to the city and instead stay with her new friends. Enjoyment - 9/10: Even though it was short. I actually quite liked the episode simply because I don't have to work my brain so hard after watching 10 different airing anime at the same time and figuring out all the relationships and characters of each. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10 and I'd definitely recommend this to people who just want to chill ◕ω◕

well... I don't have many words for this movie but I have to write a minimum of words so I'll try my best the description of the movie says that she is worried about what the boy thinks of her but I didn't get the feeling that was true it was more like she was discussed by the fact that she had animals as students and I have to be fair if that would to be happen to me I wouldn't feel so sure either. the description also says that she was living in the countryside but I didn't see any of that. when someone sayscountryside I think of farmers what I saw was just a random school in some on known place with animals and one human kid and a human teacher I like the idea of the story line but I think to really understand the story line it should have been a longer movie and they should go more in detail like the girl couldn't talk to the boy and the animals because she was to shy or afraid but then somewhere in the movie the girl should have some kind of backstory that she would tell the boy and the animals and then they would understand her and become friends and live happily ever after something like that but not like this because there is totally no bonding or whatsoever story 1 because it isn't clear it could be an amazing movie if it would be... yeah I don't know... more! art: 7 the animation is good I don't have any complaints about that it is true that there are anime movies/series who have better art but this is not something you would rate as bad sound: 10 I don't know what this is... the background sounds were good and the music fits good with the scene so I have no complaints character 1: I like it when you get to know the (main) characters in an anime like even though it is a drawing the character can feel for the watcher like a real person if you get too know the character, if you get to know the feelings of the character but with this movie I don't even know who the fuck these people are enjoyment: 1 because the movie was rather fast over and because I didn't get to know the characters there wasn't really much enjoyment in for me but I think the enjoyment is for everyone different because I for example really like One Piece or Detective Conan (you should really watch these series they are like airing for twenty years already the story lines are really good) but a friend of mine hates them so yeah its probably different for everyone overall: 6 my overall score is pretty high for all the complaints I gave but I think that the story line could be really good if the movie were longer and I think it's not fair to give a bad grade for the movie because you can see that there has been put a lot of time and effort in the making of this movie haha... I said I didn't have much words for this rating but in the end there were quite a lot I hope this is helpful for all of you otaku's out there and that if you watch the movie that you will in the end realize why I said all of this about the movie you don't need to have the same thought as me but I hope you do respect and understand my opinion p.s. become friends with me we can share secret otaku information with each other

Kaze no Matasaburou was one of 2016's young animator training projects. We've looked at these training projects before with 2014's Harmonie & 2015's Aki no Kanade. This one is a bit of a weird example because both of those projects had recognisable studios backing them. This one has the studio listed as Buemon. And, as far as I can tell, they just help other studios with CG scenes sometimes. Story: Basically, our story involves a girl moving out to the country where her classroom only has one other human and a bunch of animals. She meets a literal wind God and picks up a very special feather.Probably the one he uses for kinky foot stuff. The biggest issue with the story telling is that the world building is kind of awkward. The idea of humans going to school with various creatures is a good one for a children's film, but then they throw in things that don't make a lot of sense. Our heroine, Takada, for example, seems startled by the fact that her class has talking animals in it and freaks out when a friendly worm tries to say hi. Which doesn't make a lot of sense in a world where talking animals is just an ordinary occurrence. I also question how the carnivorous animals like cats and bears can get along with prey animals. Does the deer hold a grudge over the time the bear's family ate her dad, or is that just an expected circumstance? But this is a children's film so I can let that part slide. I will say that the film does have a certain charm to it. It's ultimately an entertaining little story about a girl adjusting to a new school and having a magical experience in the process. Characters: This is one of those kid's works where the characters are completely basic. Which isn't an inherently bad thing, but it does mean the appeal is pretty limited. The best I can say for them is that some of their interactions are pretty endearing. Art: The art style is interesting. It looks a bit like an animated picture book. Which I can give them credit for. It's a pretty good style for this type of story even if it doesn't look amazing. Sound: The acting and music are both passable. This is one of those cases where the simplicity of the characters results in the actors not having anything to really work with. So, they do a decent job but it's not all that good. The music is pretty forgettable. It's not bad, but not good either. It just doesn't leave an impression. Ho-yay: There is none to be found. Which makes sense since only two students share a species and they aren't the same gender. Areas of Improvement: Have characters react in a way that's more genuine to the world. Being startled by talking animals doesn't work in a world where that's normal. Nor does being scared of worms when worms are just ordinary citizens. Give Takada more to do with her magic feather. We only get to see her use this thing once to dispel some fog. I get that it's a very short film, but you could work something else out. Give a reason for Takada to leave the feather. In the end, she leaves to return to the city and abandons the feather. Why would you leave behind a magic feather? I get that it only summons gusts of wind, but still. Final Thoughts: Kaze no Matasaburou is okay. It's not really good, but it was entertaining enough for a quick viewing. If you have a youngster to entertain for twenty minutes or you're just curious, go ahead and give it a watch. I give it a 6/10.
