I like the retro style

After procrastinating and procrastinating until now, I have finished watching this cartoon drama that was once known as the longest and most expensive cartoon in Japanese history. It is just like Otomo Keyang's previous style, but it is more serious and less ridiculing. I don't think it is too outstanding, and I am as ambiguous as ever about the relationship between technology and human civilization. Maybe this is the case, but I always feel that the theme is partly scattered, and I pay too much attention to the effect of that kind of chaos. If it is said that the characterization is successful, only the snobby housekeeper and the unruly young lady may be successful, and it is difficult for others to have outstanding performance, which is too orthodox. Having said so many bad things, it is actually a very good cartoon recently, I recommend it.

Personally, Otomo Keyang's evaluation is "Tezuka Osamu from the top, and Jin Min from the bottom." This film is his last animated feature film, exploring the real purpose of technology, is it to benefit mankind or to compete for power? It's a pity that the final attitude is vague, and the ending is not as good as "Metropolis". Among the protagonists, I actually like the arrogant and competitive Scarlett the most, perhaps because the traces of growth on this character are the most prominent.
