Nothing she does ever comes out right, and she receives a scolding from her father every day. Her only relief is the trust she places in her prayers to the gods. One day, while at Fushimi Inari shrine, she meets a freewheeling young man named Kihachi Sakamoto. He rejects the gods and boasts of the incoming age of electricity. The topic of marriage suddenly comes up in Inako's household, and Inako is about to give up hope. It is then that Kihachi draws out Inako's true feelings of wanting to run away from her family. The only way to stop her marriage is to find an unusual book called the "Electrical Catalog." The book is a prediction book about electricity that Kihachi wrote when he was a child, but his older brother Seiroku stole it, and its current whereabouts are unknown. Inako and Kihachi set out to find the book across Kyoto and Shiga prefectures.

The animation work here, especially on the backgrounds, is really fantastic. People should check it out just to at least see that.
Steampunk isn't totally original, but its also not usual and novelty is always welcome. I can feel a lot of passion in the project. However, the plot setup is pretty minimal and I didn't especially like any of the characters. Kikachi is fine. Inako is clearly going for "quirky and fun" but really did not work for me. Theres more to do here to sell me on this beyond it being a great animation showcase. |
