WeebWarriorBurnedSoBrightThatNothingRemains RECOMMENDING THE BEST ANIME MOVIE EVER MADE #FUNKYTOWN
Looking for something like
If you haven't watched if then you're missing out on peak, and **there's np if you're not a hindu, just watch it as a fictional story **
it is a beautiful cinematic tribute to one of the most profound stories ever told.
This indo-japanese animated masterpiece was released in 1993, directed by yugo sako and ram mohan with koichi sasaki also credited as a director.
Basically the story follows journey Lord rama from 14 years of exile to attack ravana in order to save maa sita (his wife) and return to ayodhya (his homeland)
As someone who've read entire ramayana, I'm not gonna talk about it based on the puranas, I'll just talk about the movie here. And ramayana story is vast, and I loved how this movie compressed it to just 2+ hrs, ofc it's not 100% faithful lol but it's one of the most faithful adaptation I've ever seen.
The protagonist of this story is Lord rama:
Yk, Lord rama is like a superior version of kenzo tenma. He's a avatar of God vishnu but he's humble, he lived as an ideal human being (that's also why he's known as maryada purushottam, which means the supreme man of honor, dignity, and righteousness.)
Antagonist is ravana
An evil demon who abducted maa sita.
It follows the journey of lord rama from India to sri lanka (where ravana lives) in order to save maa sita.
A summary (both movie + valmiki ramayan)
Rama was the eldest son of Dashrath, he's bound to sit on his father's throne but kaikeyi (who's rama's step mother) wanted his biological son bharath sits on the throne. There's a time when dashrath promise to fullfill any wish of kaikeyi, so she took advantage of that and ask her to send rama to live 14 years in forest. Dashrath couldn't refuse her coz of that promise and send rama to the forest.
Without showing a single refusal on his face rama obeyed his father and leaved. While leaving, her wife sita also went with him and his younger brother lakshman too, leaving his wife urmila behind (imo, urmila suffered most in these 14 years)
So they began to live in the forest a life of SANYASI. once ravana's sister passed by that place and showed lord rama, she has never seen such a handsome person in his entire life, she changed her form to a beautiful human lady and proposed rama, but rama simply refused, then she started to calling maa sita ugly and asked rama to leave her and stay with him, Her only mistake was to insult maa sita in front of lakshman, (in case you don't know him, his anger can evey counter parshuram rage) he cut her nose. She fleed away from that scene. And told her cousin brother khara about this.
He got too angry and marched immediately towards rama with his 14000 demon army, but rama single handedly defeated everyone of them. You can imagine now strong he was.
•••... I got carried away 🤦♂️ let's get to the main point and end this summary
So once ravana saw maa sita, according to him there's no beautiful lady as maa sita in 3 realms, she asked a demon to distract rama and lakshman by transforming into a beautiful golden deer, sita said rama and lakshman that she wanted that deer alive so they went to capture him, then coward ravana kidnapped maa sita. And took away her with him to lanka (his golden city) on the way he met jatayu (a mighty bird) who fought bravely with him to save maa sita but he failed.
When rama found that sita wasn't in home and searched for her and eventually got to know that ravana abducted maa sita he got furious, said lakshman that even if 3 realms come to fight me now I'll burn them, I'll destroy the universe with my bows and arrows, that's the first time lakshman saw Lord rama this angry, he confronted rama and told him that they'll win the war against demons and save maa sita.
Desperate to find maa sita, rama and Lakshmana travel south and form a crucial alliance with sugriva and the vanara) army, led by the steadfast devotee Hanuman (DA GOAT)
He's the greatest devotee of lord rama, and the strongest.
The army builds a bridge across the ocean to Lanka. A massive battle ensues against Ravana’s demonic forces. Rama ultimately slays Ravana, rescuing Sita. Following Sita's trial by fire to prove her purity, Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana complete their 14 years of exile and return triumphantly to Ayodhya, where Rama is crowned king (it's not like rama didn't trust her, she's a goddess. Even ravana feared her, if ravana dared to touch her, he would turn into ashes... It's because Because society at the time was deeply traditional and suspicious, Rama asked sita to undergo the agni pariksha (trial by Fire) to publicly prove her innocence and devotion to the kingdom before she could be accepted back as queen the fire god Agni protected Sita and refused to burn her, which served as divine proof of her absolute fidelity)
Sorry cros, i got a lil carried away, ramayana is a story I can talk about all day 😂😂.
Make sure to watch his masterpiece.
Oh man, i forgot to mention one thing, yugo sako showed us fights in hand drawn cell animation inspired by Ghibli. And bryan Cranston is the voice actor of Lord rama in eng dub 💀💀💀
