- 80Screen RantScreen RantThe anime film Blue Giant is a jazzy tribute to aspiring young musicians, offering a glimpse into the world of music in a stunningly visual way. Starring relatable characters with a solid bond of friendship, Blue Giant hits a lot of the right notes to get an interesting story while keeping the music center stage.
- 80The Irish TimesTara BradyThe Irish TimesTara BradyBlue Giant is as improbably close to watching a live performance as animation can get. A swooning big-screen experience.
- 70Paste MagazineAutumn WrightPaste MagazineAutumn WrightBlue Giant is a somewhat tropey story that captures its characters’ big feelings, and its incorporation of live combo recordings contributes something unique to the steadily growing canon of musical anime. While not quite the feature I would’ve expected from Tachikawa after Mob Psycho 100, it’s a strong next step in the director’s career.
- 60EmpireKambole CampbellEmpireKambole CampbellSome rather rough animation brings down the otherwise exhilarating Blue Giant, which, in its best moments, transforms jazz music into an otherworldly sensory adventure.
