in the start of this movie, i was impressed by the use of 3-D, realistic planes, and a 3-D enviroment, while it also had some nicely drawn 3-D stick figures talking to each other.
then, i saw the black stick's discussion with the white stick, and the conversation became interesting/emotional/unique.
i also liked the airplane fights, and the various charges, slides, and landings of the planes, and the different viewpoints from many different sides.
(i also liked how you drew the US battleship in a realistic way, and how you designed the usa soldiers as humanoid figures, unlike the japanese fighters, i found it to be an interesting touch)
and then, the last part of the dialogue, between the japanese black stick and the white stick was perhaps the best emotional part of the whole movie:
-black: i will protect everybody.
-white: and what about you?
-black: dont worry.
i will be fine.
its an amazing and emotional depiction of the biggest lie that we are saying to our loved ones: ''dont worry, i will be fine''. its sad, but its a fact.
also, i really liked how you designed the sticks, their movements were realistic, the airplanes were VERY well-designed and very realistic, and the use of the planes in combination with the backgrounds (were the backgrounds old photos, or did you drew them as well?)
as for the story, it was a story about the WW2, but this time it was told from the japanese side.
(just like in the ''letters from iwo jima'', a very interesting and unique movie.)
you did a really good and emotional movie sir, good job!
you are great!
