A twist on the Romeo & Juliet formula, this movie tells of the forbidden love of Sirius, a child of the water, and Marta, a child of fire. One of a number of
Sanrio film screenplays by (or adapted from a novel by) Tsuji Shintarô, Sirius is a wonderfully well-balanced film from a studio obviously in its prime, full of great animation, exciting drama, dark atmospheres and
an orchestral soundtrack not common in anime - all in that unique early Sanrio style which crosses the fluid animation of Disney with a more sophisticated anime plotline. No doubt the crowning acheivement
in the directing career of the prolific Hata.
Cel Count: 90,000
Production Length: 3 years
