THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I found this on youtube last year, I've downloaded the video but it was just sitting in my hard drive. Anyway, I can't believe I started laughing 5 minutes into the movie when the first experimental lifeform, the Venusian animal/plants began walking! LOL I had to pause the movie to catch my breath. LOL
Wow they covered the Big Bang, several ancient and powerful multi-stellar/intergalactic civilizations with the usual UFOs, flesh-eating aliens in disguise, ancient astronauts, the dinosaurs, the Abrahamic religions' concept of Hell and how it came to be, including Satan (clue: he's an alien! LOL), and it seems there's a space police too. Dirtside, I mean, down here on Earth, for sake of completeness, they covered the rise of the fabled continents of Mu and Atlantis, and how the "Earth consciousness" sunk those under the waves to correct them. The survivors of Mu founded Atlantis, then the Atlantean survivors, in turn, were the ancestors of ancient human civilizations from Egypt, Greece (Hermes: Winds of Love, the first movie of the Happy Science animated series covers the Hellenes), Rome, and the Incans.
Among the myths of rise and decay of those civilizations, there's always an influential, benevolent and charismatic figure who preaches love, wisdom, light and everything in between that leaves you warm and fuzzy feeling inside. For the continent of Mu, it was La Mu which was the source of the name in the first place, Thoth in Atlantis, Ophealis and Hermes among the Greeks, and King Rient Arl Croud among the Incans.
All the preachings of love and light of the various reincarnations ends up to the entire point of the movie, that Ryuho Okawa, the founder of Happy Science and the executive producer/creator of this movie series is the reincarnation/brother soul of those famous and very charismatic, ancient people mentioned earlier, hold your breath...Buddha and El Cantare himself! Whatever he was smoking when he thought of that, I want at least a whiff of it myself! XD ROTFLMAO
5/10 coz I think it was still a pretty decent ENTERTAINMENT even for a religious propaganda. Heck, I think I'm gonna establish my own religion then I'll become rich but it's never gonna happen because I'm lazy as f*ck and still currently watching too many anime. XP |
