A Phenomenal Presentation
Sakupen delivers yet again, tailending an impressive portfolio of work that includes "Walk-Smash-Walk", "MechaDeath", and the infamous "Dad's Home" with a thrilling cinematic battle of mechanized titans.
My weakness has always been immersive and clearly orchestrated fights scenes that are dynamic without being confusing. And to me, that is this work's greatest strength- the action is beautifully shot, cleanly animated and clearly communicated. The audience is never in doubt as to exactly what is going on, and every blow exchanged or step taken logically follows the other, making this a heavensend that stands out in a mire of flashes too often rife with unrealistic fight progressions and confusing camerawork.
The color palette and environements, the artwork in general were well thought-out, and powerfully evocative of a mood of sandblasted desert wonderment, reinforced by the wonderfully picked (and self-composed) music and exotic environments. I have to say, this is a very refreshing change change from flashes that are fond of using "epic" music for fight scenes, whether it be swelling orchestras or screaming metal guitars.
The story here, expository text aside, is non-existent. This is a fight between robots, and while it has the plugs and wires that'll allow it to connect up with future releases to become a fully realized storyline, this flash shouldn't be mistaken for anything but what it is at its heart.
In that sense what story and exposition is there in the flash could have been presented a little more cleanly - much of the exposition could have been cut down without taking away from the flavor and context it adds to the animation. As it is, all the extraneous detail before the movie starts ends up being a little distracting, and seems to suggest an animation with a lot more story than what is actually there. As they say, less is more.
What minor downfalls it possesses, Titanomachina is a brilliant, beautiful and entertaining masterpiece, the worthy and logical progression of Sakupen's work, and deserves every single one of the stars that goes into this 10 rating.
