The movie is excellent. Definitely better than Suzume or The Boy and The Heron. Chinese animation has recently improve, but it is often underrated and poorly promoted. This year, there has been a lot of attention on Hayao's The Boy and The Heron, causing other great works to be overlooked. However, we are non-Chinese, we may face difficulty with the subtitles due to the presence of many beautiful poems. And may struggle to understand the map with only a few titles or dialogues. It would be better to have a scene that is long enough for the audience to visualize the map. Beside, the characterdesign, which may be perceived as being a bit fat and short-legged.

I discovered Light Chaser Animation when I stumbled across their 2021 film ‘New Gods: Nezha Reborn’. Since then their production value and eye for quality has done nothing but grow with every release. There’s something about their work that gets me so incredibly excited for their annual releases. Light Chaser simply make CG animated films of with substance and quality we simply don’t get here in the West, and Chang’An is the finest example of that. Here in the West we’d never receive a big budget, 3 hour, mature, historical drama revolving around the life story of 2 poets during The Tang Dynasty. To see sucha story presented with stunning animation which rivals that of Disney and dreamworks, with themes orchestrated towards an older audience is nothing short of a treat. And along with its absolutely gorgeous cinematography, sound design, narrative and characters; Chang’An is nothing short of a masterpiece and one of the finest Eastern animation experiences I’ve had in a long time. https://letterboxd.com/vjestiprime/film/chang-an/

The character designs felt a bit weird and slightly annoying at times, but they weren’t terrible. However, the storyboarding and direction were excellent. The OST was good, and the animation was absolutely stunning. I’m not sure about the historical accuracy of the film, nor do I plan to look into it. I watched this movie purely for the animation, and I thoroughly enjoyed it—that’s what matters to me. Originally, I rated it a 7, but I’ve always wanted to watch a nearly 3-hour-long animated movie. At 2 hours and 48 minutes, this came close enough. Additionally, most Chinese animated films and series I’ve seen tend toinclude magic, gods, or supernatural elements. This was the first one I watched that didn’t rely on any of that, which I found refreshing. For those reasons, I decided to give it an extra point, bringing my final rating to an 8.
