Anime Movie : The Deer King

f:id:higecho:20220206034108j:plain

An animated film released in Feb/2022, based on a novel.
This is the long-awaited theatrical release of the film, after repeated postponements due to COVID-19.
The original novel and the decision to make it into an animated film were the time before COVID-19, which I cannot help but feel sense of fate or destiny of this story of virus.
The story is a dramatic depiction of "black wolf fever" which seems to be an homage of plague or rabies, and the causality of war and ethnic conflict between two countries and the survival of the human race.
Aside from the depth of the story, the visualization of the relationship between human beings and the symbiosis between human beings and nature is also excellent, making full use of the characteristics of anime.
I would love to read the original novel as well.
Production I.G, directors Ando Masashi / Miyaji Masayuki, screenplay Kishimoto Taku, voice casts Tsutsumi Shinichi, Takeuchi Ryoma, Anne and others.
