Plasmariel Being particularly notable for being an early work of great animator/scenarist/director Hayao Miyazaki and composer/arranger Isao Tomita, this film was certainly a boost for several future careers. The pacing might be a bit off at times, but the characters are pretty charming (most of them) and it balances it out with some crazy animated scenes with seemingly endless imagination. The final moments of the movie were notably interesting, as the main robot antagonist's scenes played out very similarly to the ending of "The King and the Mockingbird", the animated masterpiece which was said to have inspired Miyazaki at some point. Overall, a pretty trippy movie with a wonderful score and wacky situations. It's far from flawless, but I'd still watch a remastered edition with good subtitles. It's bold, abnormal and charming. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
