We all long for love, and we are all curious, but we have too much of ourselves, and no one wants to be unable to understand, and no one expects a life without value.

The story is very simple. A human teenager who lost his mother and couldn't find his father. On the night of resentment in this world, he met the monster Xiong Che who wanted to become a master. At the junction of the human and monster worlds, he followed the monster to a place called "" Shibuya Street" world. A boy who wants to become strong and a monster who wants to become a master, both are the tail of a crane, and they are equally tough and unyielding, and they live together in the world of that monster. The teenager finally realized the fate of needing to breathe with Xiong Che, and quietly began to learn his words and deeds, and began to discover Xiong Che's weakness, because he became stronger alone and could not detect the gap of other people's feelings, the teenager filled this gap, the two people It is equal to us, two people become each other's hearts to rely on.

The animation picture has a fresh and gorgeous style, and there is a piece of dynamic movement in front of you. Xiong Che accepted the first disciple and named him Jiutai, and Jiutai gradually grew into the most powerful disciple in Shibuya Street, far surpassing the eldest son of Pig King Mountain, Ichirohiko. Invisibly, Ichirohiko regard this human being as an enemy.

The two who are not father and son have spent eight years, but Kuta, who always thought that he no longer misses the human world, inadvertently returned to the world, where he began to doubt whether he was a human or a monster, should he stay in Shibuya Street, or You should return to the world to be with your father.

The loss of self and the questioning of self enlarged the dark hole in his heart. It was not until he left home and returned to Shibuya Street to give strength to Xiong Toru who was beaten up in the competition. He had an epiphany. The dark truth of ego and what this monster really means to me.

Ichirohiko's black hole was exposed, he was the one that Pig King Mountain picked up in humans, and he failed to face this. Perhaps, this is precisely because one person sees another person in the mirror, and facing that black hole is the only solution. However, the real power is love, a relentless and endless love that means sacrifice, giving, tolerance, warmth and acceptance. Xiong Che used the opportunity of the master's reincarnation to become a big sword, filling the black hole of Jiutai, and truly became a part of Jiutai. Being together is the real strength, and we became each other's each other. The focus of Hosoda Mori's films is different from others. He is good at combining human nature and nature in a fusion method, but he does not use too much force. He is always so fresh and radiant. All are light, no weight, only memory.

    It would be fine without the BG part. . .

    3.5; The fantasy world behind the bustling streets, the mutual redemption of dark souls, the self-doubt and identity embarrassment of growing up as a teenager, oneself is always the biggest enemy, must cross the blade, cross the threshold, must break free from the shackles of the past, in order to appreciate the joys and sorrows of the world , so that even if you return to the trivial daily life, you can always keep the sword in your heart; the tribute to "Moby Dick" is slightly shallow, and the ending is slightly scribbled.

The Boy and the Beast quotes

  • Kaede: You know what? I've been asking myself something. "Why am I holding Ren's hand and running away with him? Here I am, scared to death, so why am I doing it? Then I remembered something. How incredibly happy I was when we first met and we started studying together. I mean, there's nobody else who enjoys studying as much as you. When I'm with you, it gives me the courage to keep going too. And right now, it's the same. Ren, if you're going to fight, then I'm staying with you. Don't forget, neither of us is ever fighting alone.

  • Kaede: Everyone of us carries that darkness equally. Ren carries it, and so do I. But I'm still struggling as hard as I can, even now. That's why there's no way Ren can lose to you who were so easily swallowed by the darkness. There's no way we're going to lose!
