Keiichi Hara's Mizuki Tsujimura adaptation is unambitious yet competent, but you can find what Lonely Castle in the Mirror offers in far better anime. TheAutumnWright's review:
The premise is straightforward enough: Seven junior-high children can’t go to school because of violent bullying. With various reasons behind the trouble at school probing at a larger social issue in Japan, the children who spend much of their days stuck at home are spirited away through their bedroom mirror to a castle straight out of a fairy tale.
It proceeds predictably from there, and you’ll likely piece together the big twists before the characters do. As you might expect, the group spends more time finding strength in each other than a single wish that could fix all their problems back home. It’s not a mystery story, however, and the castle is nothing more than a setting. It’s a shame, becausein the face of all the expected constraints that go along with adapting a novel.
animation director Takashi Nakamura, who is thanked by Hara as the final credit of the film. Contributions from other past collaborators, includingscreenwriter Miho Maruo and composer Harumi Fuuki, also make the movie a well-executed adaptation. But again,The only time the Hara really tries to do something with animation beyond the literal visual storytelling of the text comes at the film’s climax, in which the single protagonist embodies the memories of the other six children in the castle.
I don’t want any reader to think that anime can’t pull off the thematic and narrative feats of a novel, though. There are just more interesting explorations of these themes and questions in other anime. Depression, bullying, trying to grow as a person while others around you only see your past self—anime can and has explored all these topics.uses animation to explore its cast’s mindscapes and make something visual out of their psychotraumatic experiences.
