Wonderful Days

[Great Rumbler]

I know what most people are thinking: What is Wonderful Days and why should I be interested in it? Well, first of all Wonderful Days is an as yet unreleased anime. That alone does not make it interesting to most people, but unlike most animes this one is made in Korea. Getting interest yet? Well, another thing about it is that it is one the best looking animes EVER!! No exceptions.

It combines CG backgrounds with 2D characters ala Treasure Planet, but looks many times better. Think Final Fantasy quality CG with some of the best looking 2D animation you've ever seen and you'll be close.

The synopsis:

In the future, after the human civilization ended by war and pollution, only those few people who had the power and technology escaped the disaster.
Those people built the last human city of Ecoban.
As its energy source is the pollutant, the people of Ecoban plan to destroy the inhabitants of Marr to get more pollutant.
Standing against Ecoban is a young man who wants only to clear the skies of the clouds to show the wonderful heavens to the girl he loves.

Unfortunately, it doesn't even come out in Korea until April of this year, which means it will be a while before it comes out here.

Yup, those Koreans certainly are catching up to Japan and Hong Kong with their movies. They've made some great action movies that rival the stuff from Hong Kong, and they've also made some animated movies that rival the best stuff from Japan.

And I'll only have to wait until the Korean DVD comes out since I havea region-free player. :D

Took you long enough. :p

Anyway, I hope it comes out on DVD before the end of the year. My brother is really interested in it too, so I'm sure he'll buy it when it comes out.

I'd like to see it in the theaters, but when it comes out over here it more than likely won't be showing anywhere close to where I live.

I'd be very surprised if it were released over here in theaters. Just get the Korean DVD when it comes out in late summer/fall (my guess).

Well, it's been a long wait but Wonderful Days has finally been released on DVD!! I got my copy in the mail and proceded to watch it. The animation and CG in this movie are very very good, but what's really amazing is that they made this whole movie with only 10 million dollars [American]. I don't know how they did it, but they did. The amazing CG and animation couple with a great story and some memorable characters make this one of the best animated movies [I would even go as far as to say movie of any kind!!] I have seen in a while!

Get it right now and watch it!

Nice, I'll probably get it after I buy another Korean movie, "Save the Green Planet". I've heard incredible things about that movie so I highly suggest you buy it. Don't look it up, don't read any reviews, don't even pay attention to the misleading cover art. Just buy the DVD at yesasia.com as soon as you can.
