EVANGELION’S MAKERS SHOW YOU THIS UGLY YET
BEAUTIFUL WORLD |
|
This Ugly Yet Beautiful World is a showpiece for the pioneering anime studio on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. Enlivened by rich characters, gripping action, and the inventive animation that Gainax is known for, This Ugly Yet Beautiful World is a fitting celebration of the studio’s legacy. Echoing classic anime shows such as Go Nagai’s Devil Man, as well as the studio’s own shows, such as Mahoromatic, this has been made to excite those who appreciate a subtly different take on well-known themes, a Gainax specialty. The Story: “There’s nothing I can do to make a difference.
Wars will be fought. People will die,” Takeru said. “I’ll never
matter.” He didn’t know how wrong he was. Because Takeru has
a very special place in this universe. And he doesn’t know how
special until he meets a beautiful girl who falls from the stars.
Hikari seems to have no memory of who she is (or, for that matter, where
her clothes are). So Takeru takes her into his care. And
that’s when things get nasty. For Hikari is not like other girls.
Her name may mean “light”, but she has a dark history—and an even darker
future. One that will change Takeru and his friends forever, and
show them all just how beautiful yet cruel this universe can be! |
