It’s a fantastic rock musical. Very well told stories with great fx.
Great anime movie. Interesting story about a cursed and deformed man and his blinded musican.
It’s a psychedelic, bombastic rock opera, but amid all the energy, Yuasa ponders what stories have been lost as society’s more controlling elements attempt to control how art is made and distributed.
Basically, Inu-oh is to Noh as spray-painted graffiti is to traditional Japanese calligraphy.
A rich, unstable alloy of history, legend, musical pageantry and cinematic psychedelia, it mounts an argument for mind-expanding, complacency-rattling art in a world that often prefers the opposite.
