I discovered Light Chaser Animation when I stumbled across their 2021 film ‘New Gods: Nezha Reborn’. Since then their production value and eye for quality has done nothing but grow with every release. There’s something about their work that gets me so incredibly excited for their annual releases. Light Chaser simply make CG animated films of with substance and quality we simply don’t get here in the West, and Chang’An is the finest example of that. Here in the West we’d never receive a big budget, 3 hour, mature, historical drama revolving around the life story of 2 poets during The Tang Dynasty. To see sucha story presented with stunning animation which rivals that of Disney and dreamworks, with themes orchestrated towards an older audience is nothing short of a treat. And along with its absolutely gorgeous cinematography, sound design, narrative and characters; Chang’An is nothing short of a masterpiece and one of the finest Eastern animation experiences I’ve had in a long time.
