Inu-Oh

"An affirmation of lost histories and outcast perspectives that screams with a protean power."

"Yuasa's adaptation of Furukawa’s book is half-thrilling and half-underwhelming."

"Visually sumptuous and narratively tangled..."

"An exhilarating mix of age-old storytelling tradition and contemporary flash."

"This anachronistic rock musical promises a return to the playful, literary surrealism of The Tatami Galaxy... but comes up short."

"Not since 1973’s Belladonna of Sadness has an anime feature reimagined ancient history in such hypnotically psychedelic fashion."

"A rich, unstable alloy of history, legend, musical pageantry and cinematic psychedelia..."

"Once the music starts, Inu-Oh becomes another Yuasa triumph. It’s Yuasa’s best movie yet."

"Strikingly original..."

"(Yuasa bends) the norms of anime nearly as radically as his primitive punk superstars do their art form."
