Great animation – lots of computer generated backdrops and images with very good R1 script and dubbing. The weakest element is the plot which is a bit linear and predictable, but still very entertaining. Well worth the watch or rent (or whatever….). The posted snapshots from the Movie web site. (And yes, I know that this is really a Korean anime movie! We discussed this earlier. But since is it listed in both ANIDB and ANN, it probably should be mentioned here as well) Last updated Sunday, September 23 2007. | ||||||||

[Score:79%]
This movie has been the one with the highest production budget for a Korean anime at its time, and it shows: The "twin brother" of Kumo no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho features breathtaking animation and some excellent musical pieces, most notably during the battle sequences. The post-apocalyptic setting features a similar cultural clash as, say, Mononoke Hime, resulting in a similar story development. Then again, the lead characters form a classical triangle that seems forced in this story, and the plausibility of the characters' actions is the weak part of the show for me. Like many movies, this one is more for the eye and ear than for the brain. But if you don't expect too much about the storyline you'll get a chilling ride that is well worth a "Rent".
