Pops concentrate for clone factory 'The Shining Star' is a hellish pseudo-anime adaptation of the Korean drama of the same name.
Let’s start with what immediately catches the eye – pictures
Firstly, it is not an anime at all, but rather a 3D cartoon, and with a rather strangely made one. Not only that, all the characters have a super-idealized, almost doll-like appearance and are similar to each other to a degree of confusion, so, secondly, the animation itself has pumped up. If during ' performances' the characters move more or less convincingly, then all the rest of the movement is laconic and cutting like a robot.
' Performances' Heroes make up most of the film. They're singing, obviously, K-POP. Oh yes, the cartoon literally drowns in concentrated pop under a picture burning from the color of the brain.
The main problem here is the absolute impersonality of the songs. They can neither be remembered nor distinguished from each other, as they are standardized ' Well, cloned characters and songs are cloned.
There is a story going on between speeches. This plot is very simple and simple - who will win the song contest and become the main star. As a factor ' depth' is a set of truisms of the form ' friendship is better than enmity' and ' warm company is better than loneliness'. Yes, nothing new.
However, in reality, all this is not so bad. Admittedly, the picture most of the time is pretty, and you can listen to songs without bleeding from your ears. The most important thing is to wear a steelmaker mask and a lead coil to protect yourself from the flow of pop radiation from the pouring screen.
If to speak quite seriously, it is a product made by Koreans for Koreans and it is felt in absolutely every frame. Trying to criticize him seriously is like teaching a Korean to cook kimchi based on his grandmother’s methods of sauerkraut.
Can we watch this? Yeah, well, kids will love it, and adults won't go crazy either. Another question is that there is not much to look at.
