Gorou's decision to use old-style was never an issue, that much I can confidently say. Therru's Song was plagued by bad directing, while The Song of Time was plagued by a bad sound crew and IMHO average singing.
#GEDO SENKI SOUNDTRACK FOR THE GREATEST MOVIE#
Maybe it was because I already heard the song about a million times before, but the both of Teshima Aoi's songs in the movie fell short of expectations, although not entirely her fault. It's sad that Gorou wasn't part of this, because the music really shines through. The Lord, while breathing an air of mystery, slowly revealed her true form as the movie progresses. It was clear that Hare was a greedy megalomaniac with clear characteristics of an underling who enjoyed being in company with Lord Kubo, despite the consequences. Only Lord Cubo and, uh, Hare (weird, lol) had good development. Haitaka barely had any character development, and Tenar seemed more like an afterthought. Therru had the best for the good guys (except for the last part, which looked like a mismatch). Granted, Arren's nature was clear, but like I said, it was poorly explained. The bad guys get the best character development while the good guys were lacking. The opposite is true for Therru though given her late onscreen appearance and supposed nature, the explanation and timing was perfect. While a little suspense is a good idea, Gorou made the unfortunate mistake of causing his "little problem" almost a forgettable thing, allowing no build-up of tension nor much support from the other characters. The explanation for Arren's fears and his doings were, however, explained too late in the movie. The plot was strong, given the magical setting. Overall, the plot and storyline was credible enough, although at times it was hazy as to what exactly the story was, and where it was going. Fortunately, it serves a purpose of telling for far gone the human race is, so it's forgivable. It's so obvious to even tell apart which are ideas from his father's works, and which are his own (haven't read the books, so no comment on those).Īpart from the opening scene, and alterations to fit the Earthsea story, the beginning was taken straight out from Shuna no Tabi, all the way down to slave trading. However, the movie makes both facts glaring. The fact that Gorou took a lot of ideas from his ideas from his father's works, and the fact that "Shuna no Tabi" was his guide, was no secret.
Arren is a young prince, forced to leave his land and wander, and in the wilderness he chances upon Haitaka, a wizard, and learns about the collapsing of the balance of the world. Everywhere, villages have been turned into nothing but wastelands, and only the cruelest and vilest survive by making a profit out of others, sometimes literally. The land of Earthsea is plagued by dying crops and cattle.
#GEDO SENKI SOUNDTRACK FOR THE GREATEST PLUS#
Nonetheless, I adapt easily, and knowing japanese is a plus for me. The sound was over half a second too fast, and the subs were sadly poor. Which means I watched a version that's different (sorta) than what you guys have watched. With the film festivals in the UK and after a year of waiting, I decided to get my own copy of GS- online, that is, since I'll only spend cash on something I know is good.
