Sonny Boy

Sonny boy was too complicated. Couldn't figure out how things actually worked till the last episode.

There are some beautiful scenes in between Things also have some deep meaning.

But still many things remained mystry.

Sonny Boy is unique and special. If I had to categorize it, to enable people to get an idea, I would say that it belongs to that mysterious family, not entirely understandable, of anime where one could put Serial Experiments Lain or Evangelion (or Nolan's Inception, if we were to go to the movies, for its originality, photography and bewilderment).

It is hard for me to think, after the experience, that this series can leave anyone indifferent. While it is true that in its course I did not get to understand everything, the series corroded me, disturbing my mind and body until an existentialist doubt took hold of me, an uneasiness that was progressing until it materialized in a slight pressure in the chest. There are several moments in which everything that happens disturbs your being and reason to the sound of reflections that you can hardly get rid of or respond to the moment. The merit of inducing such sensations seems to me commendable. The visual and narrative means used tell the story in such an effective and attractive way...

It is worth noting that Sonny Boy is a visual spectacle with wonderful shots worthy of competing for the award for best anime cinematography (in my opinion of all time), if there is such a category as there is in cinema.

I recommend watching it when you are ready to be solely focused on it.

This show so far has not ceased to surprise me, every time after finishing an episode I'm in shock of just how awesome each episode is. The storyline as of august 1st 2021 is going strong there are a few things that don't make sense believe it or not it makes sense that they don't make sense a lot of the time. It just shows that it is absolutely incredible, not just the story but the art too.

I enjoyed it a lot but neigh honest there were some parts that I didn't understand that well but with all the experimentation of the series made me enjoyed it for what it was.

All of the students at a school suddenly find themselves teleported to another world - now it's time to find out how this happened and whether there is a way back.

The name of the anime "Sonny Boy" didn't become clear to me after I finished the anime, but that's not really important.

I really like "Sonny Boy" in terms of art style. The bright colors in the surroundings make the simple school uniforms look beautifully out of place.

I also really liked the fact that they used a very simple character design. There are no crazy hairstyles with bright hair colors and huge eyes, as is not uncommon in anime, but simply the image of average people.

Speaking of the characters, I also really liked their personalities. The characters aren't particularly deep, but they just seem very human in the way they handle things and express themselves.

The anime tries a special narrative technique, which I find very commendable because I like it when series dare to do something different, but unfortunately I didn't really warm to this narrative technique here. The anime often confused me because it was difficult to find the story. It probably would have taken more episodes to get used to it.

I really like the premise, but unfortunately the potential of it is only moderately exploited.

If the anime were longer and the story was deeper, this would probably be a breathtaking anime. So it remains a good anime, but unfortunately nothing more.
