Blue Giant

There are no much of the back story of the band members. The main Sax player want to be the number one player. A lot of Manga and Anime spent a lot of time to explain the reason/ motivation. But i just like this movie that they are more focusing on the values/ Attitude while they are getting to their goals.

Being jealous of others? Be conservative because of risk avoiding? Worry about the band member will depart?

That's all real in this world and we couldn't just solve your problem by friendship and working hard. It is an honor to see this anime show us people found their way to excel and choose their path.

This is a film to see for the music.

The film is scored by the amazing jazz pianist and composer Hiromi Uehara, and every musical sequence is wonderful. The animation is also striking, from hyper-realistic depictions of Tokyo to imaginative representations of the musicians' inner worlds as they explore the space of chords and sequences of jazz improvisation.

On the other hand, the story is trite and predictable, and the characters are absurdly histrionic (as is typical in conventional animé). It also seems more a bit inappropriate that there's only one significant female character in a film so dependent on the musical ability of a woman performer and composer.

I usually don't write review. But after watching this film, I want to talk about it. For some people, this movie maybe good, average, or bad. I don't know that. But for me it's life changing. This film talks about passion in a art form, blending of incredible music, and lovable characters is most catchy thing about this film. I am also musician but I do not play jazz. Movie was soo beautifull too watch. In each frame there is something to talk about. Animators really put their sweats in it. Anyone who was passionate about anything in their life, must watch this film at once in their lifetime. Also loved the way they show, when our jass is gone into another world while playing music, they just jammed and feels the wind of emotions. It makes us as a audience more attentive. Reactions of the listeners also makes us attentive to the performance. Hope these types of films made more.

It's more than 'five-star-movie'. It is one of a kind and best music animation ever. The passion and emotion of this movie makes my heart beat. It is the first time that such an emotion has been felt since Slam Dunk. Japanese animation seems to be upgrading its value by expanding its scope to the art world. If you look at the original work, you can know the past of the main character, Dai, so please refer to it. In particular, the fact that Hiromi of the Grammy Award-winning jazz list participated in both music director and piano performance makes my heart race. I am serious about jazz enough to make up a quarter of the movie with music alone.

As a film featuring music and focusing on relatively niche genre, the performance and interpretation of jazz would naturally be the attention. Regarding this, the only I can say is impeccable. Every time the tenor saxophone is blowing fiercely with blue fire, I can feel the energy overflowing and penetrating through my skull until the backend so that my hair stands. Wild but sleek graphics, realistic depiction of life of artists, delicate storytelling that tugs at the heartstrings, and last but not the least, the powerful and passionate jass, all add up to not only the climax of the show, but also of the kind.
