Journey: Taiko Arabia Hantou de no Kiseki to Tatakai no Monogatari

From the south of the Arabian Peninsula, the great General Abraha and his mighty army trample their way north to the holy city of Mecca. Their demands are ruthless: Mecca's surrender, its people's enslavement, and the Kaaba's destruction. Despite advice to withdraw and save themselves, a few brave Meccan men remain to fight. Among them is Aws Ibn Jubair, a humble potter who abandoned a life of sin to dedicate himself to honor and faith.

As the enemy troops approach in the dead of night, the vastly outnumbered Meccans work to raise morale. The night takes an unexpected shift with the reappearance of an atheist mercenary named Zurara—Aws' old accomplice who never went straight. Although Zurara joins only for food and pay, the intriguing tale of Aws' path to religion convinces him that Mecca is worth protecting. Bracing for the inevitable bloodbath, the two former friends reunite to defend the only land and faith that allow them to truly forgive themselves.

After long prologing to watch this I am genuinely surpised even if I heard this story many times and I have seen some interpretations, and I really like how Movie came out and how for it’s story source was Qur’an and had an actual story that has happend during the time of Prophet Nuh a.s and Prophet Musa a.s. or to put it simply life before true Islam like we have today came to truth by last Prophet a.s.

Story: Just as true I could of predicted it cause I heard it many times. I’d say if someone asks for something Islam related and ... wants it to be Movie then if you give this to Non-Muslim you are spreading true info.

Voice Acting : Both Arabic and Japanese Dub were done very good and Japanese side had one of my 2 favourite Seiyuus of Nizar and Zurara (Hiroshi and Yuuichi). Arabic Dub was definently done with some good actors in mind. Great job.

Artstyle: Exceptionally good I’m no less impressed from Toei Animation cause they release really good Animations and also artists were superb.

My verdict is that I enjoyed watching it and how it actually presents closely. I’d recommend this to any Muslim and Non Muslim watcher of Anime.

Mixed Feelings

the journey anime which tells the story of the Koran in surah al-fil, the 105th surah which consists of 5 verses which tells about an army of elephants led by a great commander named Abraha who was about to attack the city of Mecca to destroy the Kaaba and was defeated by the will of Allah SWT. This anime also often explains short stories about the greatness of Allah's miracles which I think is good. However, you have to know that the story is limited because this is a story from the Koran. So there are several additional characters in this anime that don't fit ... in the Koran so don't take them seriously. This anime was created in collaboration between Toei Animation and Manga Productions (a subsidiary company of Mohammed bin Salman "MiSK" Foundation). where the animation is quite good, like western style animation. but the animation still looks stiff. As for the soundtrack, I think it's good, it sounds very Arabic. Lastly, in my opinion regarding the voice cast. where I watched this anime with the Arabic dub and in my opinion the voice cast for the Arabic dub was beyond expectations, very good. which I thought would be ugly.

You distorted a lot of things, for example Abraha's purpose was to destroy the Kaaba yet the Kaaba never showed in the whole movie, the hero was fighting cause he wanted to protect the Kaabah, Abd El Motalib wasn't a coward like the movie showed he didn't "abandon" the Kaaba, women clothing wasn't like that, this story happened when the Arabs were pagans before Islam appeared (Kaaba was a holy site since prophet Abraham was sent, the hero & most of the other characters became afterwards) ...
It would have been better if you chose fictional characters... if you wanted to distort the whole story from ... the beginning.
I had hight hopes for this movie but it sadly was a huge disappointment.
If you wanna take a story from the Quran then don't distort it, this was too much.
The art was good tho, distorting the story was what ruined the movie.
