Review of Welcome to the Space Show (2010) by Walter M — 04 Mar 2013

As usual, the japanese idea of "children entertaniment" shows that lil' japanese are clearly more clever than the vast majority of adults around the rest of the world. Sure, the story of Welcome to the Space Show is not so polished, sure it has a fair share of slow moments, but its visuals are, as always, top notch, and acid as the more bizarre twists of the plot, and under the fable gloss there are very dark themes pulsating, like a critique to the eugenetic use of DNA manipulation to preserve /not only) endangered species, the desensitized relationship with nature and animals, the dangerous aspect of the "nice-y-fication" of a culture.

And after all the chibi shenanigans (or their contrary) characters don't lose their humanity. Well spaced.
