| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Man I didn't know this was an adaptation of a Kenji Miyazawa creation until the opening credits rolled and since I haven't read that piece of literary work, I don't know if this was faithful to the source material as well. The animation was meh but being an 80's work I guess it was ok by me. The narration was great since it really fleshes it out as a children's story. Overall I rated this at 7/10 in my list. |

| ^couldn't believe anyone wouldn't dig the animation on this one, but to each their own...i really found this to be a moving and beautiful piece of animation - really liked the expressionistic quality of the art (reminded me somewhat of van gogh, one of my favorite artists)....great story as well - it really captured the dreamy lostness of childhood and the strange impressions children get from what seem to adults to be very normal things - i recommend it highly! |

| The music was really cool, the art style was okay, the animation was subpar, but I gotta give it some credit since it's a 1980s anime. Was less creepy than I thought it would be. The cover pic for the anime page looks like a clown on a horse. And Saburou's character kind of threw me off a bit. He seems like a serious, quiet boy but he's actually playful and childish. |

| Really like the mood here - Rintaro's direction and Kanemori's designs are awesome Berry-Vodka said: so those two grew up to become the stars of Ping Pong the animation. the movement was funny like cardboard figures or something xD 7/10. I also got some Taiyo Matsumoto vibes haha |
