It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This movie is good for someone who is learn about Japanese culture before the world advanced. But the rock music didn't really help set the scene to be honest.Just be vairy that before you watch this film there is a lot of religious and god references to Heaven and Hell throughout the movie.Just to be clear this is not a movie for children nor it is intended to be (check out Paparika) especially because there is a few swear words used and in one scene we see two people get into bed together....not going to go into detail.However, the animation, art style and voice acting is good from the dub side of things.If you want to know how life in Japan was like especially if you were a painter I would recommend this movie.

Day to day life of a historical figure in Japan. The family was creating great paintings so the animators took special care to create scenes of rare beauty. Not much adventures but lots of thoughts and details make the film very alive. The film leaves our subjects a bit early and the epilogue is brushed over quickly it seems. But we witnessed a passage of time.

For a movie that plays in the 18. century the chosen rock music is the worst and absolutely destroying the complete mood of the whole movie right from the start.I couldn't find any ups in the whole story, only one down after another, nothing cheerful in an harsh world that wasn't shown like one.I can't recommend to watch this one, because you will search for an happy end that never comes up.

As others have noted, some of the musical choices can be a bit off-kilter, but perhaps they are meant to demonstrate that bustling Tokugawa-era Edo was every bit as exciting as modern-day Tokyo. The animation is gorgeous, and the fact that "Miss Hokusai" does not follow traditional biopic conventions only strengthens it. It also passes the Bechdel test with flying colors, without being historically inaccurate. With all the interest around Hokusai and woodblock prints in the West, it's unfortunate that this film was not publicized more.
