Research 6 - Patema Inverted

While not really the same degree of fame and art as some of the previous anime movies I've written on, Patema Inverted has one of the most interesting and confusing concepts i have ever come across. Im still confused as to how it happened. Ok, let me try… So an event happens flipping earths gravity, i believe it was scientists messing with what they shouldn't, and this has caused people to fall into the sky. Based on how I'm not entirely sure as to the crutch of the story its essentially a romeo and juliet situation, boy and girls from different places with distrust towards the other side end up together.

So the really interesting thing about this anime is that there are so many scenes where there are people with different gravitational pulls. This can result in really confusing scenes as there will be upright people and upside down people talking in the same space. I was quite happy to have to respond by turning my iPad around in order to understand what i was looking at it was fun to be doing more to see this animation from another angle.

While i enjoyed flipping the iPad about like with the Garden of Words the story and characters weren't the selling point but this time it was the concept. a confusing and twisting concept with dizzying perspective which when you think about it actually installs fear into you when you think your going to fall into the sky.
