    It looked bad and didn't enjoy the story very much

    More fun than a load of coloured strobe lights flashing in your face. The animation is far too digital for me.

    "Your drill is the drill that will pierce the heav... no wait, wrong anime." An original property from director Hiroyuki Imaishi and writer Kazuki Nakashima (former collaborators on both Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill), Promare is a continuation of the duo's self-aware production design - a lot of conventional anime elements (big mech suits, nice clean lines between the good guys and the bad guys, some supernatural worldbuilding) offset by some legitimately grandiose animation and fight scenes. Instead of a conventional narrative, every scene essentially builds up another climax before growing the stakes exponentially the next time characters clash, which again is par for the course for this team. What really differentiates the film is the animation style, which takes cues from much of the production team's earlier work as well but continues to refine it with a vibrant color palette and a deliberately rough edge; sometimes you'll get beautifully fluid animation paired right alongside deliberately shoddy or jagged individual frames, usually for laughs. When was the last time you saw pink used as a primary color in an anime? Another interesting aspect of the film is how it uses simple design, including big mech fights and a deliberately idiotic protagonist giving generic speeches and constantly calling out names for his attacks, to contrast against its relatively solid themes of discrimination and ecological collapse. For fans of the genre, it's a film that can be enjoyed both for its light satire of the many high-action/simple plot projects that have come out over the past 40 years, but also as a very well-animated action anime in its own right, though perhaps the feature film length doesn't let the audience get in touch with the characters quite as well as they've come to expect from Nakashima and the simplicity may start to wear thin after a while. And to be fair, there totally is a drill in there, Gurren Lagann fans rejoice. (3/5)
