Review and Recommendation

"New Dokonjo Gaeru Dokonjo Yumemakura", released in 1982, is a theatrical animation based on the popular manga "Dokonjo Gaeru" by Yasumi Yoshizawa. This work depicts the humorous adventures of Hiroshi and Pyonkichi, while skillfully depicting the boundary between dreams and reality. Below, we will explain in detail the appeal and recommended points of this work.

The appeal of the story

The story of "New Dokonjo Gaeru Dokonjo Yumemakura" begins with Hiroshi becoming close with Kyoko in a dream. After spending a sweet time together in the dream, Hiroshi asks Kyoko out on a date in real life, but then the story takes a turn and turns into a storm of comedy. The scene where Hiroshi misunderstands masculinity and punches Kyoko not only provides laughs to the audience, but also symbolizes Hiroshi's innocence and clumsiness.

The greatest appeal of this work is how it skillfully depicts the boundary between dreams and reality. As the story progresses, it becomes clear how Hiroshi's experiences in his dreams affect reality, and how he will act as a result. In particular, the scene in which Pyonkichi loses patience with Hiroshi and the scene in which Goro informs him of Kyoko's crisis add tension and thrill to the story.

Character Appeal

Hiroshi is the central character of this work, and his innocence and clumsiness drive the story. Masako Nozawa's performance as a voice actress brings out the depth of Hiroshi's character. Pyonkichi plays an important role as Hiroshi's good friend and someone who admonishes him for his actions. Sachiko Chijimatsu's performance as a voice actress also brings out the charm of Pyonkichi's character.

Kyoko is the object of Hiroshi's affection, and many of his actions are directed towards her. Kaoru Kurosu's voice acting brings Kyoko's character to life. Goro is a character who plays an important role in the progression of the story, and his appearance brings new developments to the story. Ayako Hori's voice acting also brings Goro's character to life.

The appeal of production

"New Dokonjo Gaeru Dokonjo Yumemakura" was animated by Tokyo Movie Shinsha and produced and written by TMS Entertainment. Tsutomu Shibayama's directing skills keep the story moving smoothly and entertaining for the audience. Akira Kawashima's screenplay skillfully depicts the boundary between dreams and reality while humorously depicting the adventures of Hiroshi and Pyonkichi. Reijiro Koroku's music adds to the atmosphere of the story and moves the audience.

The theme songs "Pyonkichi Rock'n'Roll" and "Yumeyuki Ticket" by Tunnels are songs that symbolize the theme of the story and leave a strong impression on the audience. The singing ability of Tunnels, the lyrics by Sho and Akira Otsu, the music by Yokohama Ginbae and Kase Kunihiko, and the arrangement by Koroku Reijiro all work together to enhance the appeal of the work.

Recommended points

"New Dokonjo Gaeru Dokonjo Yumemakura" is a work that combines a humorous story, charming characters, and skillful production. In particular, the way it depicts the boundary between dreams and reality gives the audience a new perspective and allows them to enjoy the story more deeply. Hiroshi and Pyonkichi's adventures can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, from children to adults.

Here are some reasons why I recommend this work:

• Humorous storyline and engaging characters
• A technique that skillfully depicts the boundary between dreams and reality
• Content that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, from children to adults
