If you're already interested in seeing Maquia in the theater, head to Eleven Arts' page for ticketing information. Her immortality complicates her existence alongside mortals, and it's this contrast that drives the drama, emotion, and unique storytelling power of Maquia, making it a must-watch experience. In the conflict, Maquia is flung into the mortal world where a chance encounter will change her life forever. The Iorph live a long and peaceful life until the ambitious military forces of the nation of Mezarte invade in a plot to secure the Iorph's near immortality for themselves. These long-lived, childlike people live far from the lands of mortal men and are tasked with weaving tapestries chronicling the day's events, known as Hibiol. All of that plot provides the action of Maquia, but the unique narrative power of the piece lies within the title character herself, a legendary being known as an Iorph. It's a tale of a world in which legends still exist but are fading, a world that's based on a feudal system that is moving into medieval industry and weapons of war, a world that, much like our own, exists in a tenuous state of peace that threatens to break out into all-out conflict.
And because Maquia's gorgeous animation and sweeping musical score are inseparable from the powerful story itself, it's one of the most rewarding theatrical experiences you're likely to have this year. Its story is one that's perfectly suited for the medium of anime, and its beautiful settings, charismatic characters, and perilous action sequences are brought to life exceptionally well by animation studio P.A.
While Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms, also known as Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana o Kazarō, literally "Let's Decorate the Promised Flowers in the Morning of Farewells", has a mouthful of a title, just about everything else in acclaimed screenwriter Mari Okada's feature directorial debut is perfect.
