Mixed Feelings

I am only writing this review because there is no previous review for this title . And this is my first review and English is not my first language so I pleases don't be harsh be me. Tenrankai no E is a experimental movie by Osamu Tezuka released in 1996 featuring 10 short movies. story - there is no story to speak of in the anime since it consist of collection of short film each showing a different type of figure like journalist, plastic surgeon etc. each story is about a different profession a journalist, a doctor, a gardener, a boxer, a factoryowner, a Soldier. some are depicted as satire and some are a criticism of said profession. art and animation - each short has a different art and animation style my favorite were the beatnik short and the Soldiers one both of them have some unique and creative animation. the animation is fluid and of high quality. sound - there is no dialogue in the anime but the background score is great. overall - if you want to see something different and unique then I recommend this movie.

Rate a 6 English Subtitled Story The story to me was based on the old quote from a tale of two cities, "it was the best of times it was the worst of times". Each of them had their own fame. What the artist/writer did was create a mini events in a cherished location and went through them like a picture book. For example when you think a movie star you think beauty of a god. Moreover, whom is to say you are not masking the truth behind it? Who to say they don't see them selves the same way? Or, they wish they did not have thehuge spotlight raining above them? What i along with the anime are trying to say is life as we know it no matter in what regard or where has their own pros and cons. You might like the shiny car that cut you off on the highway but the driver could be an ugly slob. You just don't know the full history of anything that isn't you. Art Seeing how they went with different stories makes sense they could not use the same art style. Sound- no issues character- implied Enjoyment If you are not afraid of opening your mind and growing intellectually you might benefit from this film.
