Sky Blue

What can you say...? I really didn’t like this, it’s an anime so it has its limitations but to be honest, but I’m not going to be fair on this at all, it was awful. Some anime is okay and the Japanese sometimes do good films but this just wasn’t up there at all. It’s apparently about some guy who works for a company but they get rid of him after he hacks into their databases without permission to do so or something and then 10 years later he comes back and also gets back into a love triangle with some girl and another guy apparently...

I didn’t even get what was going on half the time, I understood that the company which is called ‘Ecoban’ is the cause of the clouds blocking out the clear sky. ‘Ecoban’ would make sense since they are polluting the world and not being eco friendly so it’s ‘Ecoban’ would be logical? Anyway it’s set in the year 2142, which I think is a bit of a cliche just because it’s asking us all the question of how many times we’ve seen some anime set in the future with robots and flying transport etc, it’s annoying and I just don’t care because it’s all the same. When I realised it was a Japanese anime, I was praying to god that it was going to be good, some parts of it were okay and funny, but most times there was just so many pointless scenes like there’s one with a small boy and girl and they are looking up at the sky and smiling as if amazed by it, I mean the story is about this company and the world being dark and gloomy all the time but it was a bit exaggerated. The title of this film in Korea is called: ‘Wonderful Days’ what’s that all about? Really?! They sure don’t seem like wonderful days to me.

In the end there’s this one memorable scene that everyone pretty much remembers. All three from this so called love triangle are in the company and all floating around with no gravity, it’s very strange but the biggest laugh of this is one of the characters just float up and you don’t see him, but then he floats back down behind one of the characters standing in the fore ground, but he’s upside down! He’s like done some sort of flip in the air then comes down in the style of Spider Man not only that but it’s like a scene out of Spider Man the way it was shot.

Not much else to say really, I guess all these Japanese anime films and shows always try to be emotional about everything which is okay but they do it a little too often. It’s set in the future, but the thing about films set in the future to me is that once that time comes the film becomes a present day film and once that year passes it becomes a film of the past so it has the ability to change over time, but I think everyone will pretty much forgotten about this by the time 2142 comes.
