Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, Volume 5: 01/06/25
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! Volume 5 by Sumito Oowara and Kumar Sivasubramanian (translator) is all about sound design and the clock tower at the edge of the high school's property. Joining the Eizouken project is Doumeki, a collector and designer of sounds. As Midouri and Doumeki are working on sound design, they discover together the importance of the pillow shot. Pillow shots are those quiet moments in a film that are a restful scene of a single item and the sound that goes with it. These scenes help punctuate the mood to give room for the more dramatic, loud moments. This volume also looks at how art can do more than just reflect the world. It can also influence it. What begins as a project to recreate the sound of the clock tower before the clapper fell becomes a call to fundraise to restore the clock tower through sales of the Eizouken's latest animation. The final interesting piece to volume five is how it world builds. Through the exploration of the clock tower as well as an electricity problem at the cafeteria some of the history of the area is revealed. The final two volumes come out in English translations later this year. Five stars Comments (0) |
