Daft Punk & Leiji Matsumoto's Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem Reviews

---

Even if you hate anime and Daft Punk, you'll still dig this.
Unless you're a fun-hating space alien with no soul, you probably love being out at night surrounded by neon lights dancing your heart out. Interstella 5555 captures that sensation perfectly in its opening sequence. It is one of the trippiest, most feel-good movies ever made. Romance, adventure, heartbreak, joy, science fiction - it's all in there - in the form of a 68-minute-long Daft Punk music video. Enjoy it. You WILL. And don't buy that crap about having to be somehow inebriated to appreciate - I've only seen Interstella while sober, and I loved it each and every time (trust me, my opinion is worth millions).

Combining the joys of anime, music, and image storytelling
The first time I ever heard of Daft Punk was when I saw the first "music video" ("One More Time") on Cartoon Network. I was already a fan of the works of Leiji Matsumoto, so I recognized his hand in it right away. I just recently purchased Interstella 5555, and let me tell you, it tells a story in one of the oldest of ways, by telling it purely with music combined with imagery. The music of Daft Punk is light and fun, and will leave you feeling good after each and every chappter of 5555, whether the chapter was happy or sad.

Whether your a fan of anime, music, or both - I am the latter - you will enjoy this story about an alien pop group known as the Crescendolls. Its a fun watch, and a worthwhile addition to any artistic animation afficienado's collection.

When the credits started to roll with a remix of my favorite song from the disc, "Aerodynamic", I sat on my couch and laughed, "That might be the coolest damn thing I have ever seen."
