Being a local Houston resident I was treated to the chance to see the Houston premier of Place Promised by ADV at their anime Tuesday showing (at the Alamo Drafthouse Theatre).
This movie was the greatest experience I've had with this art form(Anime), RahXephon made me sad with the episode between Hiroko and Ayato, it made me hopeful too, Kimi Ga Nozumi Eien depressed me and even angered me like nothing else, Full Metal Panic made me laugh so hard, and Oh! My Goddess made me wish, but Place Promised , Place Promised made me feel all of these more than that, and made me feel like I was living it.
It made me feel nostalgic for a past I never lived, for school I've never seen, for a chance I'd never had, it made me hopeful for a destination I'll never know, for a friendship that I'm wishing I could hope for, and people I may never meet.
As I said, the music, the score was one of the best I'd ever heard, As good as Macross Plus or Tenchi Muyo! in LOVE. This was a musical score that I'd love to see performed live. I'm so in love with the music I guess, it's amazing how well everything melded together, I wish everyone could experience this.
