Goodbye, Don Glees!

Rookie-Critic's Top 25 Films of 2022: #9: Goodbye, Don Glees! (dir. Atsuko Ishizuka)

Childhood adventure, specifically childhood summer adventure, is magical. Some of my fondest memories from my childhood are of my friends and I running around the neighborhood. Sometimes with a mission, sometimes doing absolutely nothing at all, but regardless of intent, we were together and we were having fun. There is a mysticism to the finite nature of childhood summer that is inherently captivating, and its what makes films like Stand by Me and The Goonies work so well. Director Atsuko Ishizuka taps into that magical mysticism for Goodbye, Don Glees!, and puts a splash of her own emotionally resonant flair in there to round it out. Roma, Drop, and Toto (man, you gotta love those anime protagonist names) feel like boys you knew growing up, maybe you even were one of them. They just feel so full of life and wonder. You've got the one that's game for anything and everything, you've got the sensible one, that wants to fight the one that's game, but secretly enjoys the shenanigans, as well. Their motivations and reactions feel tactile and lifelike, and it causes the film to really stand out in the realm of modern anime, which often present their characters as so outlandish that, while cool, can make it hard to find an in or something to emotionally latch on to. All of these qualities make the film fun and provides a cast of characters and a setting that's easy to fall in love with, but what really sets Don Glees apart is a third act that whips you so hard with emotion and amazement it'll make your head spin. This is a film that, while still possibly more about the journey than the destination, makes the destination just as much a part of the journey as everything leading up to it, and leaves you sobbing with a payoff that is so worth it, any minor faults I had with the film prior to it's end just disintegrated before my eyes. This is one that I will be gladly and enthusiastically recommending to anyone and everyone for a good long while, and I'm so happy I took a chance on it.

Currently available to rent/purchase on digital (iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, etc.) and on Blu-ray & DVD through Shout Factory & GKids (a disc of which I am a proud owner of).

I just watched Goodbye, Don Glees for the first time and if you’ve never seen it, watch it now.

It’s about these misfit boys who go on an adventure to collect a drone they lost, and on the way they learn that we all grow up differently and that treasure is different for all of us. It had me laughing and crying and left me with such a deep sense of there is more to life and this world than I think there is.

I highly recommend it, the animation was absolutely beautiful. I watched the dub version, but I think you’ll have better luck understanding the story in sub.

THIS IS YOUR CUE TO GO TO GO WATCH THE ANIME :

Goodbye, Don Glees

Go watch it.

Go watch it if you've been stuck and wanting something bigger.

Go watch it if you've been feeling trapped and want more freedom.

Go watch it if you've been wandering and searching for your unnamed Treasure to call your own.

Go.

You can do it.

Go on your adventure.

And then come back and tell me about it.
