I couldn’t stop crying. It was so beautiful, and sad, and wonderful.

the music was powerful and the story was good

Really enjoyed seeing this and loved the music 🎶. It really made me feel the emotional weight of music.

really inspired me to learn and immerse myself in more jazz

Some rather rough animation brings down the otherwise exhilarating Blue Giant, which, in its best moments, transforms jazz music into an otherworldly sensory adventure.

Blue Giant is a somewhat tropey story that captures its characters’ big feelings, and its incorporation of live combo recordings contributes something unique to the steadily growing canon of musical anime. While not quite the feature I would’ve expected from Tachikawa after Mob Psycho 100, it’s a strong next step in the director’s career.
