Onigami

About This Movie

Onigami is a curious blend of animation and family themes that dives into the world of origami through the lens of Japanese folklore. The contrast between the Red and Blue Oni is pretty compelling. Red's whimsical approach to art clashes nicely with Blue's more traditional and chaotic tendencies. The pacing feels gentle yet engaging, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricacies of both the characters and the origami itself. It’s not just about the story but about the vivid colors and fluid animations that bring the spaces to life. The charm comes from those small moments of failure and triumph in creating something beautiful, which resonates on a personal level. It's definitely a unique watch in the animation space, something to ponder rather than just enjoy.
