It’s hard to believe, but this year, Mari Okada’s Maquia: When the Promised Flowers Bloom, is about to turn five. Yes, the movie came out five years ago, in the year 2018. Truth be told, this movie still feels like it only came out yesterday. In fact, I’d argue that this bold realization of Maquia’s 5th anniversary symbolizes the fact that 2010’s culture is truly all behind us now. Regardless of whether you enjoyed it or not.
