  Iblard Jikan is an exposition! 30 Minutes to relax with amazing visuals and with vivid and bright colors!

  ___Iblard Jikan is an exposition, Iblard Jikan is a collection of amazing artworks by Naohisa Inoue, If you have 30 minutes, relax with these great visuals full with vivid and various color!___

  Iblard Jikan is a 30 minutes short anime film produced by Studio Ghibli, but less like anime and more I guess I should say like an art exposition...now I explain why..

  Story: There's no story so there's no vote -.- basically there's a girl passing through different scenarious and kinda "futustic" and "dream worlds"..but there's technically nothing and not a single development

  Art: I give it a 9, Iblard Jikan is to be seen when you want to relax(maybe in that moment of the day when you're really tired..so at the evening/night returned back home from work)and If you see it in that moment it can really fulfill his task and exceed your expectations for that reasons
  because it can offer you a wide variety of amazing, brightly colored and an infinite and amazing palette of those..but the art style fits not only the day shots but also the night shots because of its palette of varied color used from the purple to the yellow/green/lime.....

  If you see it for relaxing, when you're tired also this anime can offer you a wide variety of amazing visuals and fantastic settings giving you an amazing travel along with thousand of colors and amazing techniques often different one from another.
  Between this settings probably there are some of the best that I have seen just by a design,colour and structural level

  These are imaginary worlds, of a futuristic nature or anyway they are some of those worlds that we dream will become reality..in this travel without story, characters and dialogues we're going to explore them together with an amazing soundtrack..that fits perfectly the atmosphere of each setting and personally I didn't even notice those 30 minutes of "short movie"..as they pass pretty fast

  The various painting made by Naohisa Inoue are destined to different collection that are presented in different sections of the short film..each one of the section presents a different biome(or almost) and the transition from one side to the other is done along with the ost

  Music: infact I give an 8 to the music
  Animation: They are the big flaws of Iblard Jikan..they are basically non-existent since it's a collection of artwork -.-..except for simple vehicles movements and background characters..infact these settings and the well drawn background are shown to the viewer with only still frames(or almost)
  A part that I hated is like a 30 second's part where a giant flying insect is done with a terrible looking cgi that doesn't go well with the background and doesn't fit at all
  Also the vehicles are done with the same technique but they are not as bad as that insect
  Character://

  Enjoyment: I give it a 7..It was able to relax me a little bit
  Overall: I give it a 7.. In spite of everything..I give Iblard Jikan a "Give it a shot..relax mode" recommendation..you absolutely have to watch only for that purpose..maybe the evening when you're lying on your bed and you're going to fall asleep :D

  P.S: Sorry for my bad english anyway thanks for reading till here, I'll try to improve so please stay tuned!

  A relaxing experience.

  Iblard Jikan (Iblard Time in English), is an interesting experience. The best way to describe Iblard Jikan is that it's like looking through a window into another world, and getting a brief glimpse of the potential beauty that the world your looking at offers.

  There isn't much to talk about in Iblard Jikan, as there is no real plot or characters to speak of, and there isn't really a need for one. The entire short exists just to show a slice of the world it created. What few characters we see are brief cameos by characters from other Ghibli projects that are added into the paintings, as a way of showing that the world you are watching is alive and there are stories going on even if you don't know any of the details.

  The OVA was released as part of the Ghibli ga Ippai Collection and was directed by Naohisa Inoue. This short takes place in the fantasy world of Iblard, originally depicted in paintings by Inoue, which were inspired by the fantasy sequences of Ghibli's Whisper of the Heart. Studio Ghibli produced this short by digitally animating portions of the paintings and integrating original elements into the scenery.

  There are a total of eight separate segments, each featuring a different painting or landscape, accompanied by an instrumental musical piece, making it feel like it's a journey all around the world that it's showing to you. The OVA has an original soundtrack composed by Kiyonori Matsuo, all of which match the laid back tone of the artwork. The result is a wonderfully relaxing experience to sit through.

  Iblard Jikan is the type of media that is hard to give a score to, since it relies only on what the viewer is thinking or feeling. It would be easy to throw around works like "delightful" and "thought provoking", but this experience can't really be summed up by a simple review like this one. And the whole thing is one of those 'love it or hate it' experiences.

  It's also hard to recommend to everyone since it's a 30 minute art piece that's simply meant to relax the watcher and bring them into the brief glimpses of the world it presents, but I'm sure the audience that it was intended for would get exactly what they're looking for out of it, as it makes for something nice to put on when you want to just unwind, fall asleep, simply something to have in the background.

  An ethereal experience through the fantastic world of Ilbard! (French Review)

  Iblard Jikan est un OVA de 30 min purement contemplatif réalisé par Naohisa Inoue et produit par le Studio Ghibli dans le cadre de la collection Ghibli ga Ippai, et ayant pour décor le monde onirique d'Iblard, le même que celui de l'anime Mimi wo sumaseba (Si tu tends l'oreille) et Hoshi wo Katta Hi (Le jour où j'ai cultivé une étoile), réalisé par Hayao Miyazaki.

  Cet anime ne présente pas d'histoire particulière, pas de noirceur, c'est léger et tendre, c'est comme un rêve éveillé où on se laisse bercer par une série de paysages fantastiques qui forment autant d'aperçus du monde d'Iblard et du quotidien de ses habitants. Huit séquences composent l'anime, chacune présentant une série de paysages rythmée par une musique différente.

  Pour être clair, c'est un enchaînement de tableaux "impressionnistes", très riches en couleurs, magnifiques et avec quelques animations nous donnant l'impression que les peintures prennent vie : vents, lumières, changements d'horaires, personnages, animaux, fleurissements et j'en passe... Le tout sur la douce musique de Kiyonori Matsuo qui accompagne chaque œuvre pour nous transporter dans cet univers parallèle éthéré, où chaque tableau est une claque sensorielle !

  L'expérience est suffisamment courte pour ne pas s'ennuyer, et suffisamment longue pour en avoir un impact positif. C'est du condensé de nature et d'utopie, de sentiments simples et envoûtants. La poésie se dégage de l'effet contemplatif du visuel poussé dans les recoins de l’impressionnisme. L’œil cherche la poésie de chaque tableaux et fini sans peine à la trouver. Un concept que je n'avais jamais vu avant, c'est tout simplement superbe !!

  Naohisa Inoue est un peintre japonais né en 1948 à Osaka, ses travaux les plus connus, une fois réunis, décrivent un monde fantastique et magique qu'il nomme Iblard. Le premier ouvrage d'Inoue consacré à ce monde, Un Voyage à Iblard, paraît en 1983 et reçoit le prix "Découverte de l'année", dans la catégories Livres illustrés (au Japon).
  Mr Naohisa Inoue continue à peindre les décors du monde d'Iblard. Il faut toujours se rappeler, qu'Iblard change constamment, de nouvelles terres peuvent apparaître, des forêts inconnues peuvent croître spontanément tout comme des îles flottantes peuvent disparaître...
  Bien que la plupart des caractéristiques d'Iblard peuvent être expliquées, de nombreuses questions restent sans réponse, même pour Mr Inoue lui-même. Il y a tellement de singularités qu'il est impossible de toutes les expliquer. Rappelez vous seulement qu'Iblard est un mélange du connu et de l'inconnu où tout est possible !!
  Laissez donc votre imagination vous emporter dans ce monde curieux...
