The latest installment of a Chinese cartoon franchise is a frenetic adventure that incorporates elements of ecological crisis and hallucinogenic visuals. The character Saylor travels back in time to eradicate the spores responsible for a global pestilence. Alongside Vick and whimsical bear companions, they navigate a dystopian world dominated by colossal fungi. Despite its ambitious animation reflecting a ruined Earth, criticisms arise regarding character design and a perceived lack of depth in protagonist development, ultimately balancing between humor and chaotic plotlines characteristic of the series.
This latest one jumps on the fungal-panic bandwagon: Saylor has nipped back 100 years to locate the original spores at the root of a pestilence that has eradicated most of life on Earth.
The animation is impressive as far as blighted panoramas and meteor-like spore storms go, but the main character models are oddly denuded and doll-like reflecting a general lack of effort with the protagonists.
