Reviews for "BLISS"
Visually great, and an interesting setting. It seems to leave quite a few loose ends for how simple it is, though given the nature of the story it's fitting that I'm left with things to remain curious about. For instance, it was clear from the start that the people are serving a big four-armed guy by cleaning wild floaty critters off of big glowing balls and feeding them to him, and once the illusion was removed all that seems to remain true. So while a sudden change in the appearance of the world and apparent revelation of deception would understandably be distressing in and of itself, some guy who sits around eating spheres isn't more harmful just because he has a scary face. The way the divinity reacts to servants seeing through the illusion seems more telling. It makes me curious what other things this divinity gets up to, and what the protagonist would do if his revelation went unnoticed longer.
Also of note is the fact that the people themselves are apparently what they seem to be in the illusion, just with screens in front of them. So I guess they're a creature that isn't native to that kind of environment? Their history seems to be a rather crucial yet missing element, though I presume they were displaced or invaded in some way. That the divinity would choose to have such colorful, non-threatening servants seems odd as well. Is owning these guys considered a source of status or at least a respectable enterprise among his own kind, or is he some kind of outcast forced to live in the woods and use lesser slaves? I'm also not sure if the tower seen while the divinity is briefly inactive is the structure the divinity was sitting on earlier or a larger, more distant one. In the latter case, I wonder who lives there and how those with bliss perceive it.
That was deep man.

Woooow~!
I'm glad I saw this movie when I could. It always kept calling me out on the featured page, so I guess not writing a review would be a bit of a sin here.
My reactions were seriously mixed in this movie. It was seriously insane. At first, I was: "Ugh, some stupid fluffy bullshit.", but then, I was: "Whoa, wtf? This shit is getting interesting!", After that: "Oh shit's gonna get real!", Then: "Fuck yeah! Great job little buddy!" And finally: "...You've got to be shitting me."
...Ahem, now then, the review:
Pros:
-Beautiful + smooth animation
-Deep yet simple message: "IGNORANCE IS BLISS". Got it after the first time.
-The twists kept me interested and hung me on the movie.
-The ending really got to me. These 5 stars are for your freedom little man, stay strong.
Cons:
-...The only con I could find was that the setting was getting boring. But then again, that wouldn't make sense as to why I'd penalize you for it; there was no way you could change the setting in a storyline like this one.
...So yeah! Amazing movie; wished I could've watched it sooner! Great job to the author! Keep animating and inspire more people to make stuff like this! :)
Peace.
