REVIEW: Drifting Home (2022)

An anime film directed by Hiroyasu Ishida Every once in a while, I go to Netflix and browse their anime section for animated movies I may have missed throughout any given year. It’s only been within the last year or so when I have started watching all sorts of theatrical releases from Crunchyroll and Gkids, largely due to that market opening up on a wide-scale. I have largely shifted away from…

Drifting Home maybe could've been tightened up a bit but it still fuckin slaps. I really like Ishida Hiroyasu's work, this and Penguin Highway were both really good. I think he's a rising star anime film director.

THE BOY AND THE BEAST (fantasy/adventure) 2015 - Film

Mamoru Hosoda

Rating : 10/10

A brightly colored masterpiece, The Boy and the Beast will immerse you in Japanese folklore and traditions. If there's one thing to remember about this anime, it's that you shouldn't get lost in the back streets of Tokyo or you'll find yourself in the world of beasts. Embark with Ren on an adventure alongside one of these beasts, Kumatetsu, who will take him under his wing after he loses his mother and his father disappears into thin air. Growing up following the bushido path under Kumatetsu's supervision, who fills the void left by his parents, Ren is faced with the very difficult choice of returning to his human life or following in the footsteps of the beast who raised him all these years. Lovers of katanas and kendo, you will love The Boy and the Beast. A true tribute to this Japanese philosophy, it also explores with great sensitivity the issues of abandonment and adoption. A terribly touching story that perfectly grasps the difficult question of self-acceptance and the determinism that everyone is born with, this anime is a real journey of learning about parenthood and forgiveness. Its approach to human psychology will charm you as much as its fights for the place of the king of beasts will fascinate you.

Beware, however, that sensitive souls should not watch it! The emotions are very strong, in keeping with Mamoru Hosoda's style. If you remember Ame and Yuki the Wolf Children, then you can guess how difficult it is to hold back tears when watching The Boy and the Beast. However, this emotional story will leave its mark on you, and you will never regret shedding those few tears for such a beautiful, moving story! So grab your katana, and join Ren and Kumatetsu in their fairy tale for a night, it will do you a world of good.

SPIRITED AWAY (Drama/Adventure/Fantasy) 2001 - Film

Hayao Miyazaki

Rating : 10/10

An impromptu journey to the realm of infinite possibilities, Spirited Away has certainly not stolen its title of legendary anime. A work as poetic as it is sensitive, the story of the beautiful encounter between Haku and Chihiro will take you on a journey to a world on the edge of our universe. Don't expect anything or hope for everything, you will be satisfied in any case. With creativity that is one of an art master, music that impeccably serves the story and its emotions, and characters that are as atypical as they are endearing, you will spend two hours cut off from time in the abandoned theme park where Chihiro gets lost when she moves out with her parents. The ten-year-old girl is forced to face her fears and take charge of the situation in the absence of the adults, who have been transformed into pigs. Courageous and intelligent, she will make her way in this world that is not her own and will impress you with her great maturity in bravely facing difficulties, never letting herself be defeated, and never hesitating to save the people she cares about.

A testament to Miyazaki's undeniable genius, Spirited Away is a work of art in every aspect. With its inimitable and unmistakable story, its delightful music, and its out-of-this-world universe, you'll discover a clever blend of sensitivity and fantasy that you'll enjoy with your family on a Saturday night by the fire. Don't wait any longer and explore the abandoned theme park with Chihiro! But beware of the cursed gods, where you risk being eaten, and above all, do not let Yubaba steal your name...

PENGUIN HIGHWAY (Adventure/Mystery/Fantasy/Comedy) 2018 - Film

Makoto Ueda/Hiroyasu Ishida

Rating : 10/10

Imagine a world overrun by penguins, appearing from all directions, popping up in everyday objects. Imagine throwing a can of Coke and seeing it transform into this charming black and white animal before hitting the ground. Impossible, you might ask? But that's what happens to the young Aoyama. A primary school student, he follows with fascination the unexplained appearance of penguins in his small town in Japan. A seemingly childish story, Penguin Highway actually has a much deeper meaning than it appears. Successfully blending supernatural and comedy, this anime will bring a welcome breath of fresh air to this sometimes too dark world. Performing the perilous exercise of using scientific research to explain the unexplainable, the senseless, Aoyama and his two friends will effortlessly take you along their paths of curious, adventure-loving children. Facing life with their own understanding and using the tools of adults, Penguin Highway is also a beautiful anime about childhood and its treasures. You will relive your childhood adventures through Aoyama's mockery and passion for understanding the world around him.

An insidious message about pollution in the world, never explicit but always present for the attentive spectator, you will find the subtlety of this anime in all the detours of the story. Far from being a train heading straight for its destination, don't be afraid to see the train get more and more out of rails as the story gets out of control. Let it take you on a journey into imaginary worlds, each more fascinating than the last. For a family adventure, curious and ready to be surprised, this anime is your choice for those long and chaotic days. "Open the window, breathe, and watch the penguins in your garden" will become your new mantra.
