Pale Cocoon

One episode OVA that everyone should watch and get into their heads. These types of films just prove how you can bring out a clear message to people about earth's environment. This amazing anime is nice and chilled, no fighting and not so much action, but it is so much more about the drawings, animation and the music.

Pale Cocoon was created and directed by Yasuhiro Yoshiura. Amazing work by Studio Rikka with a very high quality animation and very unique style. It just shows very well how hard they work to bring an eye candy like this one to everyone. Support them by buying their DVDs and you will get even more amazing work.

The story may be short, but it is really sweat. It sets hundreds of years in future, where humans abandoned the earth's surface to live in huge multi-level underground facilities. The history as they know it has been lost, only fragments left which are in a form of binary code. A special excavation department was created to work on these fragments and recover this data, recover facts about human history. Story tells of Ura, most enthusiastic excavator of the department as he uncovers a very important part of human history.

There are only a few characters in the story and just two main. Ura and Riko the two members from the excavation department. There are a few scenes with lots of people, scenes of the environment that they live in. This anime is more about the story told and how beautifully it is presented.

The animation is pretty unique, has its own style. the way light is used is amazing. The technology Ura uses to excavate these archives looks very cool. You can only praise Yasuhiro Yoshiura, Studio Rikka and DIRECTIONS for their hard work.

A unique anime has to have a unique soundtrack. Pale Cocoon's music was directed by Tohru Okada. It does make this unique anime more intense and whole experience more jaw-dropping. We like it a lot, it could not have been better.

In short we think this anime has to be in every self respected sci-fi anime fan's collection, because there are no other like this story. This unique anime brings a message, important to everyone. Has very cool sci-fi effects and music. It will make you want to watch it again and again. If you choose to get the DVD you will get bonus short animation by Yasuhiro Yoshiura which is no less amazing than Pale Cocoon. We recommend this DVD to everyone, get it today.
