S4E18 - BEYOND THE BOUNDARY Review (2013 Kyoto Animation TV Anime + Movie)
Manage episode 412649735 series 3221714
We are back for Part 5 of our Kyoto Vacation, entitled “Kyoto Animation’s Splendid Isolation,” and today we’re discussing what might be the worst series the fine folks at KyoAni have ever made: 2013’s Beyond the Boundary, a show that is as beautifully animated as anything the studio has ever produced, but suffers from generic (and sometimes incoherent) storytelling, flat characters, and a frustratingly repetitive and off-putting sense of ‘comedy.’ It also has a feature film follow-up, 2015’s I’ll Be Here, which is even more stunningly animated, but also somehow even more maddening as a piece of storytelling. It’s a strange show, but a fascinating one to talk about.
Enjoy, and come back next week for our review of the second season of Love, Chuunibyo, and Other Delusions – Heart Throb!
