PistStar

About This Movie

PistStar is a unique blend of animation and real-world events, revolving around the Nagoya Keirin Golden Dolphin Competition. It’s interesting how it ties the thrill of track cycling with the poignant backdrop of post-earthquake recovery. The visuals capture the vibrant atmosphere of the velodrome, punctuated by the energy of the racers. The pacing, while brief, manages to build excitement through its colorful animation style and dynamic cycling sequences. There’s a certain charm in how it highlights community spirit, especially after the 2011 disaster. It's definitely not your standard anime fare, and the lack of a known director adds to its underground appeal, almost like a hidden gem waiting for someone to stumble upon it in a collector’s corner.
