Information Life is but a Dream
"A boat, beneath a sunny sky
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July
Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Pleased a simple tale to hear
Long has paled that sunny sky;
Echoes fade and memories die;
Autumn frosts have slain July.
Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes.
Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.
In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die;
Ever drifting down the stream
Lingering in the golden gleam
Life, what is it but a dream?"
-Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson)
~Intro~
A tomboyish girl named Koto, and her brothers, A and Un, accidentally crash down into the “mirror capital” named Kyoto while chasing a black rabbit. In this weird city that models itself after the old medieval Kyoto, Koto discovers her three long-lost siblings that have been trapped in the city for a long time, waiting for their parents to come back. Follow Koto as she tries to mend broken family ties and reunite the family once more, all the while getting into all sorts of trouble.
Kyousogiga, based off of "Through the Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) and riddled with references to Buddhism, is without a doubt one of the most original anime to date. This series finally got its full 1-cour series in Fall 2013, after a rather random and perplexing 5 ONA series that left viewers with many questions in 2012. Both fans and newcomers are welcome onboard the craze for Kyouso Giga (Capital Craze)!!
~Kyousougiga the Show~
Life moves on at a relentlessly fast pace and the time eventually comes when we ourselves have to take the next step in our lives. If this means for you to let go of the one you once loved, to get your very first job or move onto another, to dream anew for a new life, or to sacrifice something for a better life, you must take that next step eventually. Time moves without consideration, and too often we sometimes fall behind and try to stick to the past. Getting out of the comfort zone is what we instinctively hate to do, and it makes it even harder when society pressures and forces us out of the comfort zone. Kyousougiga tells the story of the love and rebirth of a certain family, but it also explores this process of getting out of our comfort zones to "move on."
The father, Inari, tries to preserve the happiness of his family by trapping them in his "wonderland," the mirror capital, only to realize that he was making them suffer as much as he was suffering himself. Yase tries to preserve memories of her missing mother, only to realize that what was once gone may never come back and she has to accept that. Kurama obeys his parents faithfully by taking good care of the mirror capital, only to realize that he cannot wait for them forever and that he needs to take the next step to get out of the city on his own. Yakushimaru tries to stay in his comfort zone and avoid the responsibilities given to him by his father, Inari, only to realize that he needs to start accepting bigger responsibilities and help those whom he cares about. Koto is unique in that she is already in the "future." Even if she wants to find out about her lost past, circumstances force her to move forward and look solely towards the future. ~Characters~
