Children Who Chase Lost Voices...
I picked up Children Who Chase Lost Voices...
Recently, I watched Children Who Chase Lost Voices. This feature follows the exploits of our heroine, Asuna, as she explores the world of Agartha. Agartha is an ancient refuge, a land of the dead, where gods which once guided humanity, now reside. Children Who Chase Lost Voices is beautifully rendered, epic in its scale and, at times grotesque, as themes concerning death are featured prominently.
Children Who Chase Lost Voices is both beautiful and reasonably entertaining. There is some death, but, not a great deal of bloodshed in the feature. Generally, although the feature focuses on death, the tone of Children Who Chase Lost Voices isn't as ominous as it might be, but even so, there is a dark thread which indicates that one's choices have consequences. I would give Children Who Chase Lost Voices a 3 out of 5.
According to Wikipedia...From Director Makoto Shinkai (Voices of a Distant Star, 5 cm per Second) comes Children Who Chase Lost Voices!
When she hears a strange song from a crystal radio, Asuna tunes into more than just a magical stream of music. Soon, she is transported to a mysterious world where mythical beasts roam and brave warriors fight for their lives. Agartha is a land of breathtaking beauty and unimaginable danger - a place where, it is believed, even the dead can be brought back to life. But at what cost?
Children Who Chase Lost Voices is a 2011 Japanese anime film created and directed by Makoto Shinkai...This feature's title, "Children Who Chase Lost Voices" is very intriguing, so, I thought it might be nice addition to the archive...
Shinkai spent 2008 in London, after the completion of 5 Centimeters per Second. He returned to Japan in 2009 to start work on his next project. He released two concept drawings for this film in December 2009 and noted that most of his works in the past decade were stories about characters who have to part ways with those they hold dear, but he wanted to take that theme further and wanted to deal more specifically on how to overcome that loss.
In November 2010 he revealed critical information about Children Who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below such as the title, plot summary, release date, and a teaser trailer. As with his previous films, Shinkai is the director and screenplay writer. Takayo Nishimura is designing the characters and overseeing the animation process. Takumi Tanji is directing the art, and musical composer Tenmon is collaborating with Shinkai again.
