Sound & Fury

Sound & Fury (2019)

The video itself being a music video with some crazy animation.
It seems to be about some gas smoking guy and a rich guy with a gun who murder a Samurai Blacksmith family which happens during the end of the world.
This dystopian world is so random.

The music during it is a Rock style. It is AWESOME music and a pleasure to listen too.

The animation is mostly CGI but is amazingly well done. It has times especially around 8-14 minutes in which it just goes super crazy. Be aware after the credits there is still a good few minutes of ... animation left closing the story up.

This is well worth a watch if you enjoy rock music. Also if you want to see various different types of animation/CGI styles shown to you over the video. The story is all over the place but I don't think it was meant to make sense anyway.

8/10

I believe this is the first time I've heard of an anime visual album. I went into this Netflix original relatively blind, and it turned out to be pretty decent for what it is. If you've seen Ninja Batman, then Sound & Fury here will look and feel nearly identical since the two share work from the same studio and some main staff members.

First things first, I thought the music was pretty great. It's mostly blues and synth-rock throughout. If you're into those or similar rock subgenres, then you'll likely find more enjoyment in this. There's not much to say storywise. "A mysterious driver heads ... deep into a post-apocalyptic hellscape toward a ferocious showdown with two monstrous opponents." That single sentence from the synopsis about sums everything up. These are extremely straightforward music videos, so don't expect much in the narrative department. As bare bones as they are, I'm sure most can give it a pass since the music and visuals are the driving focal point here.

The use of CGI is highly prevalent. It wasn't too bad. Some parts looked quite good, while others looked somewhat janky and lackluster. It holds up for the most part. The visuals went well with the songs, and the changing art styles kept things interesting. I'd say the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th parts were the best. "Remember to Breathe", "Sing Along" and "Best Clockmaker on Mars" respectively. They were the more visually striking and dynamic scenes in my eyes. As for the worst, I didn't care for the 4th part with its synchronized dancing and overall goofiness. The sudden contrast in tone didn't work for me. The live-action bits were pretty standard fare with nothing particularly worth mentioning.

While these 10 parts were mostly well done, they all lacked the substance and depth for an actual connection. There's not much to these pieces beyond some notable art and cool, fast-paced action scenes. That being said, viewers will likely be content if they go into this for the musical and visual ride alone. Overall, Sound & Fury is not one of the best, most experimental, or thoughtful anime music videos I've seen, but it nonetheless has enough flair of its own to warrant a solid watch.

There was literally no review to this so i decided to do one by myself. It's the very first one that i'm writing here so i'll assume it's gonna be poor. Anyway, let's start:

Story: As it's the music video, the story doesn't play such a big role here. Let's just say it's about samurai looking for revenge (pretty cliche) and about useless violence in the world. That's it. Nothing special, but still it's a music video so it doesn't matter that much. 5/10

Art: Even tho almost every single episode is made of different art, there is CGI almost in every one of them leaving us ... with like 2 episodes with pure 2d animation. What can I say? It's made by Netflix, c'mon. 4/10

Sound: It's not the type of music that i like, but i'd have to say it's not bad either. Google says it's blues rock, psychedelic rock, boogie rock, and synth-rock. 6/10

Characters: It's the same case as with story here. It doesn't matter since it's a music video. 5/10

Enjoyment: Well this one really depends on your liking towards rock music and it's subgenres. Also you have to have high tolerance for CGI graphics.
In my case it's 5/10

Overall: Whether you should watch it or not depends pretty much on your music taste. I started to get bored in the middle of the show. I'd recommend it only to those of you who are rock fans. 5/10
