Bloody Escape
Bloody Escape
Considering bloody Escape -Jigoku no Tōsōgeki- one might say that it is a movie that fails and triumphs at every stage. It is not one of derogatory properties with regards to a world. By the way, it’s a collision of fun tone and style that result from the magic of evolutionary races meets the fantasy of prophetic technologies. Kisaragi, the lead character, a half blood vampire ninja-samurai cyborg, has to resort to consuming ordinary vampires’ blood in order to live even though he is not supposed to; further, his human blood is poisonous to vampires and this is cleverly exploited by him in many creative ways during the film.
Nonetheless, There is also the problem of the story. It is fairly ridiculous how predictable all of it is right from the so-called plot twists to the so-called character reveals. When the adventure turns into a Mad Max: Fury Road with trains instead of cars (a complaint, there is also a comically grating enemy-mook-turned-ally wise-cracking character) it is not difficult to know exactly why things are well towards its conclusion long before.
The characters on their own also don’t improve the situation. Most of them are going to be one-note characters at most—take the mook-turned-ally (who is literally introduced in order to be stabbed in the or shot in the behind as many times as possible) and an embodiment of jungle terrorists who are military contractor’s weeds that get mini-sukiyaki from the customers’ enemies that they wish to eliminate and subsequently emigrate out of the cluster.
However, there is also Lunalu who does not conform to how the character has been represented in the film. Rather she grows more complex particularly in dealing with her initial trauma throughout the film. In the same fashion, Kisaragi is a decent character who has an alright development going from a man who has no will to live or die to a person who happily lives until the closing credits.
It’s not just the standard of writing which varies like the weather here, but the animation does as well. The action scenes are very well captured and creatively choreographed, with impressive cinematography that even when a lot of visuals may break out around our protagonists, it is clear as to what is happening on screen. This is also where Polygon’s 3D animation shines the best, with even a jaw dropping scene where a “web-slinging” hero fights with a flying villain on top of two speeding trains. The action sequences are well minced with some cool visual storytelling elements; like Kisaragi always out of breath after excessive hand to hand combat, or Kisaragi’s blood proves to be a bad omen for any villain’s body part it touches, even if normally it’s just a cut off arm that gets slashed, and so on. But, when there is no more fighting going on, the camera work is usually lazy and uninspired, oblique head on still shots of the characters standing in front of bland backgrounds during the more talkie sections of the film are ominously all that a man can expect.
The cast’s voicework (particularly that of Lunalu) excessive praise since it works very well from the aural end of things. But again, so much emphasis was placed on the voice acting that one expected the character actions to match, and in many instances, this is where the expectations of the audience drop, even at the point where the audience ought to feel the most. And that brings one key detail about Bloody Escape: It does not have those crazy swings left and right. The music is quite banal but non offensive during the entire workout You are able to match your attention on the hard core blot of the material that is
Proceeding with that anguished way of project it belongs to the most pathetic end of them all: Bloody Escape is as forgettable as it is an anime film. For every ‘out of the box’ attempt there will be a mundane monotony lurking in wait all too ready to embrace the audience. For every graphic flamboyance one gets treated to, such as the killing scene, there is a static scene of dialogue shot with uninspired traffic camera angles on boring and poorly developed characters who each only have exactly one shallow personality. It reaches its highest expectations and disappoints in the lowest ones; but in the end, I am happy that I watched this, however, I am almost pretty sure that I would not want to do it ever again.
