lfoggini Very unique and fleshed out world and while I can't say I entirely understood what happened I was riveted the whole time. Each episode will bring you to the verge of tears with their deep introspection of the nature of memories. This is the most inventive sci fi world I've ever seen depicted in animation, everything feels plush and squishy and moves fluidly in a style somewhat reminiscent of Osamu Tezuka but still entirely its own. It's poetic and beautiful and would highly recommend to anybody that likes great art.
wandereramor It's hard to write a review of Kaiba. So much of its charm and beauty lies in the animation, the rough drawings and fluid movements of the characters. Madhouse and Masaaki Yuasa have gathered together some of the best animation talent around, and it shows -- the art is consistently strange and beautiful, and stands out in a tradition that's known for a very specific, very standardized art style.But that's just the surface. Underneath all that Kaiba is provocative, intelligent science fiction that questions the relationships between mind, bodies, and memories. Along the way it touches on love, family, the state and rebellion, providing nuanced portrayals of each. And it has a mythic arc that actually holds up to greater scrutiny.Tragic and uplifting in equal measure, Kaiba is not just one of the best anime series ever made but one of the best TV shows. It aired in obscurity and has yet to be licensed in the States, but looks for all the world like a big-budget production. It's rare in any medium or industry to see such a personal, idiosyncratic expression made at such great expense, and the show that emerged was every bit as miraculous as the events of its creation.
Pascal FERRANTE Kaiba is a piece of art. This work by Masaaki Yuasa is a gem, the kind of which only few examples can be found in every art... We already owe to Studio Madhouse some of the finest animation works like Satoshi Kon's "Paranoia Agent" and "Paprika", Hiroshi Hamasaki's "Texhnolyze" and "Shigurui", Rintaro's "Metropolis" and many more. But with Masaaki Yuasa, Madhouse has discovered a true genius of this time and age.Kaiba is a poetic and philosophical tale packed with so much emotion and brilliantly imaginative conceptual and visual ideas, it is absolutely breathtaking. The graphical style reminds of Osamu Tezuka, the father of Japanese manga, but just as in the latter's work "Phoenix", the innocent, child-like drawings serve a deep and dense reflection about mankind and human condition.Revolving around the parallel concepts of time and loss, life and death, memories and oblivion, Kaiba succeeds in creating a whole coherent universe, characterized by its overwhelming melancholy. It is truly comforting to see that such ambitious and groundbreaking projects can still see the light of day today, regardless of their chances at commercial success. Thank you Masao Maruyama, co-founder of Madhouse studio and producer of the series, for having made Kaiba happen!It will be so hard for Kaiba to find its public, a million miles away from commercial animated series that most of time have little to offer to the heart and mind... While art lovers have long learned to distinguish between meaningless blockbusters and personal independent cinema, Japanese animation hasn't yet achieved to be widely considered in its diversity, even in Japan.Kaiba is pure art and emotion, a brilliant masterpiece and a unique experience that will leave an everlasting imprint in its viewers' heart.
