#Dreamy days johji review series

It takes more drawings (and therefore more work) and is way more boring to illustrate.

Slow motion is the natural nemesis of animators everywhere. This is hardly insider information, most everyone knows this. In animation, we design the speed of the image for 25 frames per second. There’s also an amazing new turn for animé and animation in general the modern camera technique.

Regardless of this factor, the actions sequences are wholly authentic and so extraordinary they can carry the series for now. This is certainly not a new theme among animé series', so there’s certainly hope for it. While I found the storyline amongst the human camp a little lacking, I also got the feeling there are dark pasts being hinted at with the intention for revelation later on in the series. All aircraft are 3D with 2D skins and are exacting designs based roughly on aircraft of today before being given a wholly futuristic look. These are simply stunning with an amazing mix of computer animation and traditional merging seamlessly with one another. I cannot recall a better produced series of action sequences within the confines of an animé series, and that’s no joke. The action sequences in Yukikaze are truly nothing short of breathtaking. While trialling the new plane they are attacked by the Jamm and Rei’s skill with Yukikaze prove human pilots are still better than the new unmanned fighters. When he recovers it seems Yukikaze and he are of a telepathic mindset as Yukikaze has been rebuilt better than ever before incorporating the newest technology. Our second episode sees Rei recovering after being shot down in Yukikaze on his way back to base. They need the codes to repair the plane so as he can get home, but Rei discovers the truth and becomes the first to see the Jamm and escape.

It turns out though that Rei has crashed amongst a Jamm illusion and they try to make him believe he is safe. However, back at Rei’s base they are trialing a new unmanned fighter and Rei and his archaic Yukikaze are considered expendable anyway. With Rei’s craft making more and more irrational decisions, he gets shot down and crash lands into a neighbouring airbase. Rei Fukai is a pilot of Yukikaze, a sophisticated sentient fighter plane warring against the Jamm aliens intent on invading Earth. Remember 30 years ago when the aliens invaded Antarctica and then seemingly disappeared again? Well, they didn’t! Here is the true story about the war that continues to this day with elite aircraft and the alien menace that seemingly can’t be stopped.
