Sho is Flying in the Sky

About This Movie

So, 'Sho is Flying in the Sky'—it's a pretty unique entry in the early '90s anime scene. I mean, it adapts Ikkei Makina’s horror novel, right? The animation has this gritty, unsettling vibe, quite different from the colorful shows you might expect. The pacing is a bit slow, but it builds this eerie atmosphere effectively, really immersing you in its world. There’s a blend of horror and sci-fi elements that keeps you guessing. The practical effects stand out, especially given the era; they add a rawness that enhances the horror. Performances are decent, capturing the characters' despair and confusion. It’s just one of those things that shows a different side of anime during that time, very intriguing.
