Carole & Tuesday is one of the little nuggets of animation present at Netflix. The series produced by the Bones studio is the result of the work of a master in the field, Shinichiro Watanabe. The publishing house Nobi Nobi has made a beautiful acquisition with the rights in France on the manga adaptation of the series.
Carole & Tuesday: an animated series on Netflix
The Bones studio is a reference in Japan. Among their recent productions, we find the hit My Hero Academia (a beautiful tribute to American superheroes) and Mob Psycho. The animated series was released for the studio's 20th anniversary. Bones is betting on a safe bet with Watanabe, the man behind Cowboy Bebop and Samourai Champloo. These two animes have become cult over time. Much of their success is due to the quality of their soundtrack. The filmmaker passionately loves music, so it's no surprise to find him at the helm of such a project. It can be said that this series celebrates music in all its forms. We dive into the daily life of two young musicians, who will have to fight with all their strength to impose themselves in a fierce market. How not to give in to the sirens of the majors and keep its musical integrity? This will be the number 1 goal of our two singers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q366dvZqGfc&ab_channel=DaikuMediaAnime The musical world is not the only theme since the plot also develops the beautiful relationship of friendship that will unite these two young artists with very different origins. One comes from a wealthy family, the other has been living alone for a while. She survives on a daily basis thanks to small jobs. Although the story takes place in a futuristic society established on Mars, the universe described here could very well be similar to the one we know today. There are also references to singers popular with the general public such as Cindy Lauper.
