Synopsis
Ever since a fateful encounter with jazz music, Dai Miyamoto has dreamed of becoming the world's best jazz saxophonist. After only three years of playing the instrument, he makes the bold decision to move to Tokyo in order to break into the music scene. When he meets pianist Yukinori Sawabe at a small music club, Dai believes that he has found a kindred spirit he can form a band with. However, the classically trained Yukinori is reluctant to accept someone who makes such bold claims with so little experience under his belt. Yet, when he hears Dai's undeniable skill, Yukinori is forced to accept the offer. Along with the even less experienced Shunji Tamada, the trio form JASS, a group with a unique sound that might just be able to shake up the stagnating jazz scene.

Blue Giant was a moving experience that I’m not sure I’ll be able to fully put into words. It touched me deeply because its main themes are very important to me: music, passion, and the idea of finding purpose in life. There are so many things, so many layers in this story: perseverance, confidence, the freedom of the soul, and, of course, jazz music. That sometimes misunderstood style of music that, to me, represents both the beauty and chaos of human nature. It’s hard not to have a great time watching Blue Giant. You will either enjoy the movie, or you will live it, feel it, and become completely absorbed by its emotions, in the same way jazz can pull you in and make you experience every feeling. 10/10.
¡Uf, qué peliculón! Si todavía no la viste, hacete un favor y ponela en la lista para hoy mismo. Blue Giant es, sin exagerar, una de las cartas de amor a la música más intensas y apasionadas que se hayan hecho en el anime.
Qué pedazo de película. No necesitas ser fanático del jazz para que te vuele la cabeza; la pasión y la rabia que le mete Dai al saxofón te atrapan desde el primer minuto. Ver cómo se forma la banda, los choques de egos, los ensayos donde no dan más y la frustración de querer sonar perfecto hace que los conciertos finales se sientan brutales. La música es una locura total y la animación transmite exactamente esa energía cruda de tocar en vivo. Muy recomendada.
This movie had me feeling every note from start to finish! The music was incredible, the friendships hit right in the feels, and watching Dai, Yukinori and Shunji chase their dreams together was so rewarding. The beautiful imagery and animation made every performance feel even more powerful, bringing their passion and emotions to life. I wasn’t ready for all the feels!
