Ghost 1,857 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Ooooh, i just posted a review about this on tumblr the other day. Ill paste what i wrote-Just watched Garden of Words (that anime movie with all the beautiful art and such) and well, although the art, piano pieces and the animation was heart-wrenchingly beautiful, I could care less for the story.Yes it sounds romantic but eh…looking at it realistically it’s just “not” so romantic, y’know? Like imagine if every kid fell in love with their teachers, that uh. Yeah.Anyways besides me not liking the story, Taoka (is that his name?)’s shoe-making hobby being slightly too weird to the point of being unbelievable (but maybe that’s just me, dunno), the art, piano, and animation was gorgeous. Hell even the firetruckin sound effects were beautiful.But yeah. Would i recommend it well, it’a pretty to look at and it’s only like what, 45 minutes long? Yeah, I’d recommend seeing at least once. It’s nice to see but its the type of movie you wont cwtch me obsessing over/watch more than 5 times. Not nearly as “deep” as i thought it would be but, honestly everything else makes up for it. Sorta. If it didnt have such beautiful art and music i would tell you it’s the most boring thing in the world. Seriously. Ive watched awesome silent films that have entertained me more than this.BUT STILL. THE ART. THE PIANO. IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO DISLIKE IT. UGHHHHH-PS, you can watch it here. Bottom line is the story is mediocre but the art, animation, and music is da bomb.http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x13bhsg_the-garden-of-words_shortfilms Edited October 30, 2013 by DragonMaster please don't double post Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DAMN 80 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) I disagree with you on the story...I didn't think it was garbage at all...i thought it was good just simpler than im used too...but it's still nice...no bullshit just a straightforward story that doesn't make us feel stupid and makes us care about the characters Only problem i have it's too short imo...while the runtime fits the movie i wish it had lasted longer On the other hand I love this Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lioo4-lR3TA Edited October 30, 2013 by DAMN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
