Tibet Inu Monogatari is a Madhouse film from 2011. Yes, Madhouse. The studio that can make things as good as Rainbow and Monster but also things as rubbish as anime X-men or Highschool of the Dead. I never know what to expect from them just because their quality does vary so greatly that I can honestly say they've made some of the best and some of the worst anime I've ever seen.
Story:
Our narrative opens with a youngster named Tianjin being moved up to the mountains of Tibet as his mother just passed and that's where his father is.

Things become complicated for the duo when Duoji is accused of being responsible for a string of attacks against villagers and animals.

Story takes place in Tibet, where we follow the young boy Tenzin who is going to live with his dad in a shepherd village. The sound was pretty decent, nothing to special in my opinion.
Now onto the story, overall it was a pretty realistic story, we got a bond between a dog and Tenzin. Halfway through the movie the realism slowly fades away as the big evil appears, without having any purpose for being evil. The setup for certain things were great, such as showing the strained relation between Tenzin and his dad, but we never delved much into these as they are either left open or never told at all. There are also some nice moments where we see some bonding between dogs but also between the dog and Tenzin.
We got a wide variarity of characters. While this may sound good, it is in my opinion…

A new take on the classic "boy and dog" relationship. This is a must see for any animal lover or for anyone looking for a beautiful story. If you're not already, you'll fall in love with the Tibetan Mastiff.
For anime the setting is original as takes place in the mountains of Tibet. The PLOT is engaging as it follows a young boy who moves to the Tibetan countryside following the death of his mother. As he struggles to fit in to his new way of life and the relationship with his father he befriends a mountain dog. ART, The landscapes of Tibet are beautifully draw while the CHARACTERS are distinctive and origina and provide an insight in to Tibetan lifel. OVERALL I really enjoyed this film and would recommend it to anyone.
