2005 Summer

From the "Voice of the Stars", I fell in love with the animation of Xinhaicheng
to the "Cloud の む こ う, the place of restraint" in 2004. The
tower, war, the world, are just some pretense, velaciela's dream, the
children stick to the promise of a lifetime , and the overflowing thoughts accumulated in the uninhabited world,
that is the meeting point of parallel worlds.
It is still the familiar sky, the location is changed to the endless
sound of the melodious piano echoing in the ear of the railway track, and the sun is full of faint sadness ,
There is no storyboard for dialogue, and the shallow smile melts in the backlight and never returns...
Simple story, simple world, simple people,
even the sky has been touched by everything in it unknowingly...
If the animation of Hayao Miyazaki is a fairy tale for adults...
"Beyond the Cloud, The Promised Land" is more like a fable... Do
you still remember, the original dream, the promise once...

    Ideology is too high

    Beautiful and sad pictures and music, lonely and warm youth and love, the main line of the story dressed in science fiction is too bizarre
