Review of Kyousougiga
Kyousougiga review A story about family, death and how precious life is. Story 9/10 This anime was a breath of fresh air, beautiful symbolism used and characters that are the story in Kyousougiga. The story portrays the creation of our world and universe from the bible . We have six characters that symbolize how the universe was created in 6 days by god.Its about creation of life and how much effort and time is needed to create a life. It also shows how precious and short life is. The anime focuses on family and portrays the human drama inside every family. It shows how kids are abandoned by their parentsand left alone on their own, a common thing in our modern society.
It shows how every child no matter what kind of enviroment they grow up , they will also linger for their matern feeling to be together with their parents.
The story is told in different arcs ,each arc symbolize different human aspects like memories, bonds and life. The first arc puts a strong accent on memories and how fragile humans are being atached to those memories. For many those memories can't be trown away because they represent the bond with their own past and trueself. A good example will be how Yalsa kept a lot stuff that for others are garbage but for her that garbage is a treasure a bond to her past.
The second arc emphasizes on life and like this beautiful anime how short life is. It tells a strong message to the viewer about the meaning of being alive and the hardships and happiness life brings on that path we as individuals take. Also it tells us not to throw away our life through the actions and interactions of our priest Myoue.
The anime also puts a strong accent on the word love. It tells about the person we love and what sacrifices we make for the dear ones using beautiful symbolism. Also it shows a allegory to how children are raised in our society. At first they need help that they receive from their parents to grow and become stronger. After that those children become the support for their parents to rely on them.
The beautiful symbolism portrays life and human creation (the monk beads that Myoue receives through the form of a spiral DNA), death and destruction ( goto's hammer) and finally aspects of human drama: bonds, memories,promise.
The anime abords the theme of identity that our characters struggle to accept their trueselfs. Also the theme of coming of an age is aborded and our characters must face reality and protect Kyoto after their parents leave them that task. This is the word responsability that many children learn in our modern world until they grow up as fine adults.
Characters 8/10
Our characters in Kyousougiga are practicaly the story. The anime has a slow and natural pace and manages to develop and cover the story of our main characters. Our characters are not plain at all they have unique personalities and traits.
Koto is our female character who portrays the human child . She has a vivid personality and sometimes she is a crybaby , other time she is brave and she acts very natural in each situation she faces. Also she acts mature sometimes despite her appearence.
We have the three siblings Miyoue who is a woman addict and likes to negliject his duties as a priest and its lazy, Yalsa who likes to drink tea and has a soft part for memories and bonds and hates to get rid of them and finally Kurama who acts like a big responsible brother for those two. Also his actions and influence has a purpose and meaning for the story.
Finally we have Koto and Inari who portray the parents for those three siblings. Also these two characters are the main purpose and motif that our plot and story progress and the main influence directly or indirectly for our characters actions and reactions.
In conclusion the characters are very realistic and act natural to the situation they are put in which the viewer can relate to them as real life characters. They cry, make a mistake ,get angry ,experience love,but in the end they get togheter as a family and smile blowing away all the hardships that they went through.
