Lū over the wall.- ANIME

Hello dear steemians! I hope you have spent an excellent week since the last time you wrote something here! today I bring you something interesting!

"Yoake tsugeru Rū no uta" (夜 明 け 告 げ る る ル ー の う た - Lū's amanacer song) is a film directed by Masaaki Yuasa, like all those produced by the new Science Saru studio; who has had a moonlighting to the illustrious director, in addition to this movie, with a famous Netflix series and another movie that I have yet to see.

"Lu over the wall" (international title) has won awards from the Annecy festival 2017 for best film (over other very important anime) and the Mainichi 2017 festival, where he won the "Ōfuji Noburō" award that only movies have won. very prominent in his time in the section of various animation techniques; An award that began winning the god the manga, Osamu Tezuka, with "Tales of a street corner" in 1962. And they have also achieved works like Naüsica, Miyazaki, Millennium Actress Satoshi Kon, Tekkonkinkreet by Michael Arias, or "Kono sekai no kata sumi ni "(In this corner of the world), by Sunao Katabuchi. And also, in 2004, coincides that Masaaki Yuasa also took this same prize with his movie "Mind Game".

This film stands out for its setting in a coastal town called Hinashi (literally, "Sunless"); The fun dance animation, which Masaaki already exhibited in Mind Game; And a good dose of humor, originality and some action and fantasy.

Kai is a boy who lives in Hinashi somewhat frustrated because his future in the small town only augurs to manufacture umbrellas / umbrellas, like his grandfather, or work in the fishing industry, although what he likes most is to produce music and share it on the Internet .

Kai's grandfather warns him that music is dangerous because it attracts sirens who are guilty of disappearances of fishermen and terrible curses in the village. The music of Kai attracts Lū, a mermaid who likes to sing and dance with everyone, without eating anyone; which helps Kai see his grandfather's story as a prejudice and motivates him to pursue his dream of continuing to make music.

Kai joins a band of music from school friends to try out in secret and will try to help Lū to have a normal coexistence in the town even though he can not stand the direct light of the sun and people with prejudices are not willing to that beings like a mermaid be treated in a friendly way.

The soundtrack is signed by Takatsugu Muramatsu, known for his music from The Memory of Marnie, or, most recently, Mary to majo no hana. Although, given the theme with a musical band, the highlights are the "pop" songs composed for different scenes of the film; and even then they are summarized so as not to tire the public more eager for action.

From the theme of "anime pilgrimage" little is known. The town is totally fictitious and drinks some other movies with mermaid like Ponyo. Some locate some corner of the film by the prefecture of Shimane in caves known as Tatamigaura (畳 ヶ 浦). And it is said that other parts of the town may be inspired by areas of the Aichi or Kyoto prefecture.
