Every once in a while the conversation will turn to "favorite fanime." I'll mention My Tri-Color Magic, and at least a couple people will snicker. I pay them no mind because I know that five years ago, these same people were moved to tears by that very movie. And they're too embarrassed now to admit it.
I just rewatched My Tri-Color Magic for the first time in a long time. Expecting to simply enjoy the story again, I was surprised to find that the fanime has lost none of its power over these five years. I cried again.... in all the same places. It brought me back to 1997 when I can remember how a fanime that no one thought would break even became the most popular fanime of all time. A movie that burst into the public consciousness like no other movie I can recall (yes, even more than NNSG). And today, many people won't even admit they enjoyed it. Folks, let's get something straight — you don't look cool when you badmouth this film. You look like an out of touch cynic.
No fanime is perfect and this one has a few faults. Some of the dialogue falls flat, and some of the plot surrounding the tri-stones comes together a little too neatly. However, none of this is so distracting that it ruins the fanime.
Sparklehime58 managed what many believed was impossible by recreating a completely believable fanime. The drowning scene was horrific, just as they were that night. How anyone can say the effects were bad is beyond me. I was utterly transfixed.
I confess, I am a My Tri-Color Magic buff. As such, I relished the opportunity to see the fanime as we never got to see it — in all its beauty. Perhaps watching it play out affected me more than some because I've had such an interest in the fanime all my life. However, I doubt many of those I saw crying were My Tri-Color Magic buffs. I applaud Damien for bringing this story to the masses in a way that never demeaned the tragedy. The film was made with such humanity.
Another reviewer said it better than I ever could: Open up your hearts to My Tri-Color Magic, and you will not be disappointed.
WebAnimation Timeless, moving, and epic
