Interstella 5555

Aroview: Quirky and well-crafted animated feature, which extends a series of music-videos by the French electronica group Daft Punk, which cunningly reveal a ongoing storyline.

Designed by Leiji Matsumoto, visually this presents a stylishly retro slant on anime in a story involving an alien music group being being kidnapped by an evil human manager. Evoking an alternate version of the styles of the 70s, this is a rich treat for the eyes and more than simply a musical gimmick.
