Blue Giant

This film is amazing from start to finish, and it only gets better.

Not only is the story great, but the music, animation, and sound are all top-tier. I love when films show how sound looks, which this film does several times in very creative ways.

Yes, the CGI on the characters may look a little out of place, but I think they chose that approach to best show how the characters are playing the instruments. You can see all the details and movements that go into such an art.

The music in this is absolutely mind-changing, and you'll leave feeling inspired-not just musically. I really can't describe the music in words, so go listen and see it for yourself.

9.2/10 absolutely recommend this for any musician.

It was one of the anime that I really expected because it had the main theme of jazz. But it made me very disappointed in the meat. Ordinary storytelling has only superficial jazziness to the story. Anime about piano in the forest, although it's not jazz, it's more jazz than this one. What I'm trying to say is that it's alive, it's jazzy, this story has it in a sparse and dull way.

I'm reminded of a scene in this story where the main pianist is taught that his playing is shallow. Play within the frame Playing in a safe zone. I sat and laughed in my head as to whether they were cursing the script or not because the screenplay is ordinary and trying to be a safe zone like other anime.

I was disappointed with the choice of jazz as the theme of the story, but the narrative uses a young boy who is passionate. There's nothing wrong with that, but there's nothing new about the script. It's like choosing a child as the main character of an anime. Other stories are very dull in the anime world. I can only assume that they don't want to change at all? Because young men sell more than middle-aged people?

The era of anime in Japan has been considered to be in the dark ages for a long time. Many people did not dare to take the risk of doing anything new or artistic. Everyone made commercial anime. Because it sells more than anime that has a complex script and has different and outstanding art.

Ultimately, Blue Giant is just an average anime in terms of script. The visuals are almost good, but their 3D animation is terrible. The jazz music is great but it doesn't help the anime's script. 7/10.

It's more than 'five-star-movie'. It is one of a kind and best music animation ever. The passion and emotion of this movie makes my heart beat. It is the first time that such an emotion has been felt since Slam Dunk. Japanese animation seems to be upgrading its value by expanding its scope to the art world. If you look at the original work, you can know the past of the main character, Dai, so please refer to it. In particular, the fact that Hiromi of the Grammy Award-winning jazz list participated in both music director and piano performance makes my heart race. I am serious about jazz enough to make up a quarter of the movie with music alone.

I usually don't write review. But after watching this film, I want to talk about it. For some people, this movie maybe good, average, or bad. I don't know that. But for me it's life changing. This film talks about passion in a art form, blending of incredible music, and lovable characters is most catchy thing about this film. I am also musician but I do not play jazz. Movie was soo beautifull too watch. In each frame there is something to talk about. Animators really put their sweats in it. Anyone who was passionate about anything in their life, must watch this film at once in their lifetime. Also loved the way they show, when our jass is gone into another world while playing music, they just jammed and feels the wind of emotions. It makes us as a audience more attentive. Reactions of the listeners also makes us attentive to the performance. Hope these types of films made more.

There are no much of the back story of the band members. The main Sax player want to be the number one player. A lot of Manga and Anime spent a lot of time to explain the reason/ motivation. But i just like this movie that they are more focusing on the values/ Attitude while they are getting to their goals.

Being jealous of others? Be conservative because of risk avoiding? Worry about the band member will depart?

That's all real in this world and we couldn't just solve your problem by friendship and working hard. It is an honor to see this anime show us people found their way to excel and choose their path.
