Maquia runs from a crazed Renato (dragon-like creature) with Red-Eye, some kind of rabies-like fatal disease. She finds herself briefly alone in a confusing, threatening world. When the Iorph are attacked by the militaristic neighbouring kingdom of Mezarte, Maquia escapes when she is caught in trailing fabric and dragged into the sky by a deranged dragon-like creature. Maquia is only a child of 15 and her relative immaturity fits her youthful appearance. During the prologue, she is warned by the Elder (who even at 400 years of age appears little older than a teenager - the entire race looks like children) never to fall in love with an outsider, as they will surely die long before she does, leaving her alone and bitter. She is a member of the “Iorph” race of near-immortal blonde and beautiful people who live peacefully in a secluded city far from other races. Set in a fairly generic JRPG-esque fantasy world (with original character designs fittingly by Final Fantasy XII’s Akihiko Yoshida), Maquia is the name of our main protagonist.

Maquia is full of lavishly painted backdrops with eye-popping colour. They have a deserved reputation for beautifully animating original works, therefore Maquia makes an excellent fit.

Works, renowned most recently for Iroduku: The World in Colors (which I loved), plus Sakura Quest, Shirobako and Angel Beats.

Maquia is also the first theatrical movie released by animation production studio P.A.
It’s only taken me until October 2019 to see it, this time in limited DVD/Blu-ray combo form. Helmed by first-time director Mari Okada, scriptwriter for such varied projects as Kiznaiver, Mayoiga, The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, Anthem of the Heart and summer 2019’s O Maidens In Your Savage Season, this was the one film I was most hyped for in 2018. It seems unless one is relentlessly plugged into the UK anime twittersphere, it’s easy to miss such fly-by-night events. Apparently there was a wide UK release, but I must either have been unaware of it, or it may not have come as far north as me. I managed to see Mirai, Mary and the Witch’s Flower and My Hero Academia: Two Heroes last year, which (film festivals notwithstanding) may be the most cinematic anime I’ve seen in the space of twelve months. Sometimes I am lucky - anime occasionally shows in rare isolated theatrical screenings here in the frozen north of Scotland. Set to open in theaters across North America on September 21, further information on the upcoming screenings of Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms’ English-language dub can be found via ELEVEN ARTS’ official website.Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms is a film I wish I’d seen in the cinema.
