The characters definitely have a similar look and feel to those from Inaka Isha except they drawn three shades lighter and have had the world's weight taken off their shoulders. Gone are worries of freezing Soviet-Europe and sickness - this is a film about saving, not trading lives.
This is a truly Yamamura Koji film if there ever was one and while there isn't a trace of Noh in it, it almost feels MORE like him because of it. I feel as though I could really appreciate his animation style in this piece because it was such a simple message given with such a simple delivery: Please save the whales.
Never was there a finer advertisement to be found.
