The coolest thing I've seen this year! I actually wanted to wait until it hit Shudder next year but I had a feeling this would be great. And my god it fucking rules! It is a fantasy horror adventure following a young man who steals forbidden knowledge from a magical flower. He falls to its darker temptations and unleashes ages of suffering onto mankind and as his power grows over the years, it falls to people of different eras and cultures to attempt to stop him. There's a lot to love in here. It's wildly original, creative, and just so much fun to watch. The film immediately pulls you in with its insanely gorgeous hand-rotoscoped animation showcasing its marvelously built world and the variety of its universe. It's easy to get lost in its nonlinear story but thanks to the rich cosmic horror elements, fantastic characters, and graphic violence, it never fails to entertain and once I figured the structure, I started to enjoy it even more. I need more adult animated fantasy films like this.
