The eagerly anticipated Endless Scarlet, praised for its beautiful visuals even before release, revealed three high-quality animation highlights from director Mamoru Hosoda.
#1. Scarlett character visuals that convey emotion and narrative!
The first animation highlight that captured the attention of prospective audiences for the fantasy animation Endless Scarlet, which depicts Scarlett's time-transcending adventure that began as revenge for her father's death, is Scarlett's (Asida Mana) visuals, which further enhance the protagonist's presence. Scarlett's resolute gaze and delicate facial expressions as she sets out on a journey for revenge after her father's death, and the subtle variations in emotion depending on the situation, visually express the character's inner life and narrative. Director Mamoru Hosoda said, "When designing Scarlett I referenced Hamlet and reflected a lot of the protagonist Hamlet's appearance," raising expectations for Scarlett's beautiful yet intense visuals.
#2. Visuals of the land of the dead, a space that breaks down the boundary between life and death!
The second animation highlight is the original visuals of the land of the dead, where life and death coexist. This space, where the living and the dead are together, evokes both mystery and tension and intuitively shows the expansion of the worldview Scarlett encounters. In addition, a variety of natural landscapes such as noul, snowy fields, and sandstorms, along with surreal images, combine to complete a fantasy aesthetic that only animation can achieve. These animations make Scarlett's journey more vivid and add to the epic fantasy's completeness.
#3. Overwhelming fantasy scale completed by large-scale battle scenes!
The final animation highlight is the large-scale battle scenes that convey the film's scale. Battles that occur with the appearance of those who aim for Scarlett's life are depicted with many characters colliding, dynamic movement, and meticulous animation, providing visual pleasure. In particular, the visual of the black dragon that appears from the sky during the battle fills the screen and leaves a strong impression with an overwhelming presence. In this way, Endless Scarlet, which condenses the trusted animation world of director Mamoru Hosoda, is set to lead audiences into a new dimension of fantasy with visuals that encompass characters, worldview and scale.
The film Endless Scarlet, which is generating anticipation for its overwhelming animation and epic fantasy, is scheduled to open at CGV on Jan. 14.
