The Genesis · review
Souseiki is a short parody of the story of creation produced by the late, great “godfather of manga” himself, Osamu Tezuka. While not one of his best works and simple in plot, for what it is, I actually found this old short to be kinda funny and I don’t think time has affected that much. From the ridiculous, over the top depictions of the animals, to the 1 second Astro Boy cameo, and to the opposite take on women coming from men, instead making men into the shape of a certain body part, there’s a few parts that are quite amusing. It’s nothing revolutionary, butI wouldn’t say it’s bad either, it’s just a simple parody made for fun that might make you laugh a few times. Also, I think the classical music fit for showing how over the top and dramatic it is, especially with the imagery and the fact it’s making fun of major works.
