I still remember the feeling after finishing the original evangelion series. I can still recall the raw emotions of confusion yet utter vulnerability the finale illustrated. Sonny Boy does the impossible task of almost matching that feeling. I cried. I laughed. I felt connected to these characters in ways I never expected. I felt like a kid that had just found a pearl on the beach. It may not mean much to the unfocused eye, but to many it can mean a million things. A highly interpretable, yet personal journey. Sonny Boy is a modern classic. It's not up for debate, this is by definition one. In 10 years people will look back at this with awe and reverence. It may not be perfect, but it doesn't need to be perfect. It's a genuine passion project that's grounded in humility yet ambitious enough to reach the cosmos. The art direction, the sounds, the framing, the efficient visual storytelling, the metaphorical, allegorical, philosophical and conceptual nightmare it can sometimes be. Everything is perfect and everything makes sense. 10s across the board. This needs to be a semi religion like FLCL and Evangelion. Make it happen.
