The 2015 anime
The Boy and the Beast
is the most recent
animated film
I have watched
this year.
Although scenes
really captivated
and dazzled,
I found it moving along
rather slowly.
Maybe I'm impatient,
but it took me
three sittings
to finish this film.
That being said,
as you can see
from the images throughout,
it's a vibrant flick,
full of stunning scenery
and sunsets, stars
in the sky and swords
in hands.
It is
definitely a fine addition
for Mamoru Hosoda,
who has also directed
Wolf Children
and Summer Wars,
both of which I adored.
Next up is his 2006 films
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
I will report back
once I've digested it.
