Luo Xiao Hei zhan ji

Rewatching the film, I noticed a small detail that speaks volumes: Xiao Hei's scarf. At first, it's knotted haphazardly, as if tied in a hurry by a child still learning to care for himself. But as the story unfolds, frame by frame, it grows neater-until by the end, it lies smooth, tucked neatly under his collar.

That change isn't an accident. It's Wu Xian, in those quiet, unspoken moments, reaching over to adjust the fabric, his movements careful but unobtrusive. No speeches about "growing up," no grand declarations of progress. Just a scarf, slowly, gently, being made right.

This is the film's quiet brilliance. Xiao Hei's growth isn't shouted-it's stitched into these small acts: a properly tied scarf, a steadier gaze, a smile that comes a little easier. It's a reminder that the most meaningful changes aren't announced. They're lived, in the gaps between words, where trust and care take root. And that, far more than any slogan, is what lingers.

Already made it to my Top 10 Fav Anime List for sure! What an AMAZING world to be immersed in! Turn up those speakers too because the sound is super sweet. SO powerful. You can literally FEEL the artists' creative intent especially with the INTENSE battle scenes, camera angle shifts, and the SPEED. WOW! Seriously buying this movie in HDX on VUDU right NOW. Unforgettable movie.

This is a very peaceful movie. You will not know when it will end. The scenes are very beautiful. It is one of my favourite animations.

This is a big effort in 2D animation for China, trying very hard to deliver a product that could be at the same time exciting and profound and that has the look of a blockbuster Japanese Anime, more specifically the Studio Ghibli ones. And the end result manages to work in some occasions and to look quite the part, but still suffers from some pacing problems and a lack of emotional focus at times. Also, the way the story develops ends up being quite conventional, but for the most part it's an enjoyable film.

At the beginning, I always thought that the rise of Guoman meant the picture rather than the plot, but now I know what the real rise of Guoman is. Just this plot, picture, clip and soundtrack have reached the world level. Unexpectedly, douban'er fell from 9.0 to 8.2! It's a pity that the film didn't show in America, otherwise it would have won the Oscar.
