Amazing! Animation of Pale Cocoon‘s greatness is rare. It is probably the best OVA I’ve ever seen in term of animation fluidity. Motion is one of its key characteristics. The scenes zoom in, zoom out, rotate and glide gracefully; providing what seems to be like a bird’s eye view.

Pale Cocoon takes us into a plausible distant future of earth. Human had turned earth into a synthetic living place. Sunlight is unable to penetrate the atmosphere. People are forced to live in the lower of super structure towering and covering both land and see. They are depended on a life support system located there.

Information and memory of the past earth, including our present one, are lost. An effort was maintained to restore “archaic” files; but as time goes by, less and less people are interested in the effort and only a number of people are left. The computer or processing system that is used in the recovery effort is so cool. I think it is a very possible direction of our technology development.
