[AIF 2019] Animation with the breadth of Malick. Where do we come from? Where are we going?

Beautiful all the way, with just the nice amount of surreal philosophical musings in the end.

Children of the Sea takes a big swing and misses just by a small fraction. While the surreal elements are breathtakingly beautiful and profound, the realistic aspects used to tether the fever dream sequences to some form reality fell short. Blown away by the final act but the first two acts feel like a slog. Happy I watched it to the end.

Maybe it made more sense in Igarashi's manga, but the story is here just pseudo-intellectual nonsense. Studio 4°C has always had a strange and unique style. Here we have breathtaking 2D images, partly sketchy, images visually based on traditional animation, extremely reduced pictures and also CGI rendering all mixed together. That would make a nice little psychedelic dream-like movie if there weren't moving 3D objects placed in a 2D environment that would tear you out all the time.
