ElianaAug 13, 2022Fellas, is it trans to be considered monstrous by normative society because your appearance doesn't conform to the standards and then find acceptance through your undeniable talents that help others see you as you truly want to be seen, while your best friend and implied…

absolutely spectacular. i think my favorite Yuasa is still Devilman Crybaby but this is his most stylistically sophisticated work to date. certain visual touches (specifically the way the film depicts the perspectives of blind characters) are just ingenious, and the…

Masaaki Yuasa has long established himself as one of the most creatively unbridled minds in all of modern animation — his expressionistic films (“The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl”) and television shows (“Devilman Crybaby”) alike exude a shape-shifting fearlessness that…
davidehrlichAug 12, 2022not even a minute in, Yuasa hit a match cut time-lapse through 600 years IN REVERSE. and i knew this was the one that i’d been waiting for my entire life. dudes… rock.
Tony GuptaDec 30, 2022Something I've found in Yuasa's most inventive works, as unfair as it sounds, is that by inundating the viewer with psychedelic imagery for the entirety it exhausts the viewer and stylistically starts to become redundant; truly suffering from success. So it's high…

Rating: 7.8/10 ⭐️ I expected a traditional historical anime, but got a surreal, feudal rock opera about defying government censorship. The Director’s Eye: Yuasa's psychedelic animation is wild. The landscapes actually gave me fantastic visual inspiration for the Pan-Asia aesthetic I'm developing…
Boomer Doomer lovedInu-OhSuper super good.
Anna Crippen lovedInu-OhGenuinely one of the greatest films I’ve ever seen. I wish I had known about this movie sooner, a phenomenal story with phenomenal art. On a side note, I can’t even begin to imagine how much fun the foley artists had exemplifying even the simplest of sounds for this movie.

7/10 Beautiful animation and imagery, but the story is very jumbled at times. The songs are still stuck in my head cause there were such cool performances. My favorite scenes were seeing how exited everyone was to see Inu-Oh perform and sing in unison at the concerts
Mozzi likedInu-Ohreally interesting! i really like the art style and the plot itself. the more songs played, the more i enjoyed it! thankfully, it has a bitter, yet sweet ending
Capey likedInu-OhI love Japanese culture about yokai and curses. the stories told are amazing and the rockstar influences are really fun and well done. Beautiful ending.

Great anime movie. Interesting story about a cursed and deformed man and his blinded musican.
AVAdrian VidalesI’m in lost for words…. I’m very happy.
KAkevin arreolaIt’s a fantastic rock musical. Very well told stories with great fx.

Wow. I knew there was music, but I didn't know there was MUSIC. The lead singer/VA is unbelievably good in their voice range, both singing and voice acting. The rest of the cast besides Inu-Oh's friend are side characters at most, but that is fine. Inu-Oh tells the story of…
ACAdrian Cahuanathe music was incredible; and the art style looks so good

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.
