Through an accident, Patema is stranded in a shed with Age where he then tries his best to help get her back to where she belongs. Patema stumbles upon Age as she tries to escape her world in order to explore the outside world and to find Lagos, a good friend(father-like character) of hers. To Age (the male protagonist of the show), Patema is one of the inverted people. To her, she is a perfectly normal girl merely trapped within her world. Sakasama starts off focusing on Patema, a girl who has lived her whole life underground.Īs one would expect, having seen nothing of the outside world aside from a small Polaroid image of the sky given to her as a kid, she grew up fixated at the possibilities of what laid beyond those tunnels that she grew up in, like a frog stuck in a well. When she approaches the hidden “secret”, the story begins. Despite being frequently chastised by her caretaker Jii, she cannot hold back her curiosity for the reason behind the rule, because no one would tell her what the “danger” was. Her favorite spot is the “danger zone”, an area forbidden by the “rule” of the community. The princess of the underground community, Patema, goes out exploring as always, inspired by her curiosity of the unknown depths of the world. In a dark, cramped, underground world of endless tunnels and shafts, people wear protective suits and live out their modest hard and yet happy lives. Themes: parallel universe, upside-down worldĪ world, forever beyond your expectations. Genres: adventure, drama, fantasy, science fiction Throw in some metaphors and some “what is the meaning of life”-sort of questionable moments and you’ve got yourself something to watch this weekend. Sakasama no Patema definitely has the “intriguing” aspect locked down with it’s storyline of upside down people, the clashing of societies.
The last anime movie that I could remember watching and liking was ‘Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki’, if you haven’t seen it, then you should watch it because that was good. I’ve been waiting for this movie for awhile and it’s finally out.
