Review

Highlights

The Dream Like State They Wanted Is Executed Well

Nearly every song feels like it is from the intro or outro of your favorite anime. Whether it is up-tempo, pop-sounding hits, or songs that push feelings of longing, loss, or feeling aimless. The majority of them compensate well for the animation and live-action sequences which don’t do the songs justice.

On The Fence

Sadly, Adam by Eve: A Live In Animation doesn’t have the same oomph as Sturgill Simpson Presents: Sound & Fury. The music is the real driving force here, and while the animation pairs well with them, I wouldn’t say you’ll get heavily into any individual story.

The lead story, between Taki and Aki, while cute, doesn’t really hold depth, despite some of the topics it goes into, but at the same time, Eve’s music isn’t necessarily heavy, even when it deals with negative emotions. Also, while the animated sequences play out with Eve’s music, thus allowing them to fair a little better, Taki and Aki’s scenes do not. Thus making their story almost feel out of place, if not the least interesting thing about this film.

Overall

Our Rating: Mixed (Divisive)

While the pop-oriented music by Eve is easy on the ears, unfortunately, the core story falters in ways that takes Adam by Eve: A Live in Animation down several notches. Hence the mixed label. Adam by Eve: A Live Animation does lead to an appreciation for Eve’s music, but in the process of that, it’ll make you wish it was paired with better stories, characters, maybe even animation, to take the songs to the next level.
