Midori poster

Why people love it

Midori (1992) stuck because it commits to its animation premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Hiroshi Harada's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The animation and drama blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
