THANK YOU. Bastion has its flaws for sure, but I was just talking the other day about what an absolute masterclass it is in art direction. Painted, vibrant, cartoon art style, in a dystopian future where a world flying in the sky is destroyed with mixed futuristic and past technologies, with music that sits somewhere between blues, electronic, and eastern traditional.

I have a saying, "if someone says a movie is great, and the description sounds like crap, it's probably genuinely amazing", I say this because for a movie that sounds on the surface not good (e.g., "a teenager hallucinates a rabbit that tells him to do stuff, then his girlfriend gets murdered on Halloween by the rabbit, but he goes back in time to stop it") it must mean that it has to have been done so expertly, that it has to land every punch to be good. I feel that way about Bastion too, it sort of shouldn't work with all it's influences (especially the soundtrack), but it nails absolutely everything.
