Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors
This is my review on Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors from the distant future year to hattori hanzo who's doing hard time in Jigoku of 1945(The year Go Nagai was born)
Its directed by Mitsuyo Seo who lived like a century and influenced Tezuka with this film
I never saw t but it Japans 1st feature length animated film and a sequel to Momotaro's Sea Eagles which I never saw
its inspired by Fantasia and the American occupiers tried to burn all copies but it survived like the Gelflings in The Dark Crystal
Its based on Momotaro the airy tale Peach Boy from Japanese Lore
after title we get text in Japenese then title and I think credits
at a great peak in the woods is nature as animal kids walk across farmlands to go to school
the flute is wonderful and the animation is impressive in proper ll screen an god b/w
the sailors are said to return and all these animal people or jujin like in Urotsukidoi and come to greet em
they ring the Temple bell and bow and wait its the kids going to school who were sailors
they go different ways and the Jujin come to greet the monkey one
monkeys kid bro Santa comes by asking what he rode but is told sailors don't ride fighting sips
Santa guesses he rid a fighter plane and cheers boom
farmers tend the soil and the hog one Wankichi comes by to greet em, his rents
wait hes a dog
in the woods birds care for the young and eggs as the bird sailor comes by to feed some
bear sailor plays with bear toys and faints seeing 1 for a sec
mom makes him tea and Harukichi the monkey tells the young of the war
his best exp was flying a plane the 1st time as copilot or a small mission seeing villiagers smiling below him
he offers to bring em flying and sez he trained in a field with a rifle doing robotech moves
Santa goes to the river or pond with Harikici's navy hat but it keeps falling
it blown in the river by wind and flushes away
Santa goes after it as birds fly in the sky, soar up high
1 tells Harukichi Santa fell in the river
Santa goes by whirlpools as the village gathers to rescue him
Harikichi sportacus's in the water then swims as Santa heads for a waterfall
Wanichi on a cliff ties rope on a tree to bungee down and save both bothers
the town pulls em up as Santa saved the hat
I think the one that made the bear faint was Sakata no Kintoki as we see it by a bear model and the Gold Kanji on him
bear boy puts up a wind carp and Harukichis glad his brother is ok
the wind blows his hat away so Santa chases it to soft music as dandelions puff fly
then he recalls the war how 30 mins b4 a hit and is face looks devolved
then we see a beach at the sea with palm trees and rabbits in trees with binnocolars
the east sea force base has a deer moving a ribbon as a rabbit watches
cat people chop down trees for monkeys singing of working together for Japan
and elephants too, which i assume are slaves, sing of how great it is to work
better than being on blue sky tweeting about unions all day
rhinos too? they pull out the stumps
elephants hammer the ground with the stumps and rhinos poke holes in em with horns to build things
1 guy is either a long nose ape or yokai
nice, the Imperial Japan Flag
then planes come by and everyone freaks out then runs/hides
the rabbits watch n binoculars and climb a tower as big plane lands with a peach
kangaroos too? what island is this?
all the beasts run out and they sing of smething new and weird coming
Momotaro comes out a the only human and the animals are amazed by him being great
the shin ningen and the hyaku ju
i think the sailors from the 1st part are with him and the carry the imperial flag as the animal soldiers put a lot of bags around
So Momotaro's gonna bust the soviets like in 1905 right?
the animals sing of what can the bags hold and say how soldier need food so they offer some to saruno the soldier
the army eats up from the friendly possible gaijin animals
later the animals are in an open air classroom like violence jack oav 3 and a dog with a black eye teaches Japanese
they make animal sounds instead of singing like before and seem devolved
then a bear plays harmonica as saruno weirdly face sings a song to teach sounds
this is like nick cage screaming the alphabet in that vampire movie, but as a song
then we see monkeys doing laundry on crocs as they continue the song
kangaroos hang the prisoners i mean shirts in lines deer walk with em on clotheslines between horns
monkey soldier clean guns and rhino's move barrels
1 guy is drawn by a bird but the mail comes and bear get a Chinese finger trap and 1 gets ice cream with a spring snake inside
bird gets a photo from the birds he helped before who are growing
if this was made today they'd get blown out by the enemy for a sad moment
like starship troopers-
Santa gives his big bro a letter saying he missed him
then we get guys training with sticks lie Son Wukong and a guy with a pet bird
the animals tell Momotaro the enemy is near so he sez investigate
a plane comes in wait i think its leaving
a rabit with a bayonette goes around
then we see a bear taking off kendo gear from it being hot
Momotaro got no reports from the front as bear sweats like a hollywood producer at recess
a plane lands and 2 guys from the front tell a new force was seen with planes coming from Hiroshima
the plane that landed is all shot up and in the film developing room they process the stuff
they have a plan and Momotaro gives a speech saying remember your training and do it for the home team
tomorrow is the last page in the fight and in the AM they attack
the men prepare parachutes and Momotaro checks em
chefs make bento boxes and the planes are fueled
then in the southern sea with many small islands like stars in the sky
like fallen angels?
the middle one was the most beautiful and was ruled long ago by good king Goa who made people happy with kindness
1 day a black ship came with Invaders
wow, this predicted gaijin
the people went to the king but a White man came from the ship lookin Spanish or French(the bad guys)
he sez they're merchants wanting peaceful trade and wanna be friends
but returning to the ship each night is hard so they want some land and offer treasure like spice from perza, tobacco from egypt(they had that?)jewels from india, necklaces from siam and cotton/lamp/tea rom canton plus gold/silver
they have 1 treasure, a coin and suck up to the king
that long nosed demon is up to evil
so the gaijin put up a jolly roger flag and king asks if his promise is not what he sez
long nose gaijin has a code saying this is his lands home base and theres a battle where the gajin win and take over
man this called it with gaijin
the island once called kingdom of angels on loan from gods was enslaved
its ok, in a few generations they'll assimilate
so just put up with crime, violence and evil for a few decades, and then you die out and your descendants are used to it
so the Heroic Nippon forces get in planes and launch as animals cheer
then a song of crossing the area on strong wings and hoping to return home after a win
it stars raining and its in the plane
then the sun comes out and soldiers have bento
they launch troops at the drop a enemy's fire on em
they land an Momotaro's with em as they ditch chutes and get guns to assemble
the enemy ores on m but they use grenades an 1 turret in a mound base had its gun pulled out by a bear
in the jungle the enemy car drives by and they attack with blades but we see em scream and all and thrust blade w/o contact
these gaijin with playing cards scramble looking skinny and devolved
oh no its the bits
some are fat and they surrender to be used for weapons theting
J k there was no 731. don't trust maruta
1 frooty leader sez he has no command over all troops so total surrender is impossible
also that rooty gaiin speaks devolve English like eurotrash
the governor has more authority a frooty booty don't but governor let by plane days ago
Momotaro takes over but frootymo only has some authority of some cr-p on devils island
Momotaro wants him to have his men secure it for em but he sez he dont command that much
So Momotaro sez surrender full control to us til govrnor returns
the leaders try to delay and bluff for time thinking their side is winning saying we'll answer by 10
Momotaro sez, No! Now! Stop Stalling
and they surrender
eat it frenchmo
the kids in the homeland playing ump and Santa lands on a chalk drawing of America
then we see Mt Fuji i think
the end
that was pretty good
nice action
good heart and wonder
well acted
Momotaro sounds like Goku or Enma Kun
nice music
good 40s style
it warns of the dangers of gaijin and how we gotta work together and keep them out to be safe
like letting feces into open wounds isn't good
nice hope and showing the devolved eurotrash facing em
like how Europe is sissy today and letting gaijin ruin em
I hope some Nippon HERO gives The Japanese a rousing speech like Android 16 and Gohan to get him to man up and end Cell as some people words can't reach, but for fighting gaijin so the Nipponjin stop putting up with em and being polite then return to Bushido and Imperial Values.
Ganbare Nippon Sama! Makenai! Jigoku Erochiro gaijin!
but this was pretty cool and well animated
shame anime went cr-ppy with modern stuff
I liked this one and it was a cool hopeful inspiration WW2 film
For Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors 2 I want modern Japan to be taken over by gaijin and Momotaro returns from being sealed in a magic peach to lead the people to reclaim their homeland. Also its a 16 bit Srpg like Shining force but Modern Japan and on Snes, Sega Genesis, T16, Atari Jaguar an GBA where you play as a team working for Momotaro taking out gaijin lairs in the slums Japan devolved into.
