Few anime are able to touch upon one's heart and soul like Satellite Girl and Milk Cow. In a world of mediocre and ridiculous storytelling, something so refreshing and heartwarming is nothing short of a treasured gift for animation, much less anime.
This film has everything, from a speaking roll of cursed anthropomorphic toilet tissue, to a satellite whose struggle with her death and lack of purpose in an ever-evolving technological society, to a broken hearted male whose male cow body can still somehow lactate, it a treat for all. This anime asks the bigger questions in life that no one has an answer to, such
...
as how a powerful wizard was defeated by a walking incinerator.
This anime's animation is also exquisite, from the bug eyed character models and the lack of animation between frames. It's beautiful, almost Ghibli-esque. The homages to the masterpiece Neon Genesis Evangelion were also a fantastic edition to an already dense film full of symbolism and metaphor. This was enhanced by the fantastical music which accompanied each and every scene, especially the one where our brave heroine confronts her own mortality. It was a beautiful eye opener into the struggles of love, and how the bonds of fate tie us together though the beauty of music and male cows who can lactate.
This film I cannot recommend to many as it is so complex. Only a few can see it. Primarily those who have no major biases of the world we live in, this typically denotes children. The other audience I would recommend this to are those who appreciate the higher things in life through drink and pill. Even then, this film may be beyond even those.
