Kim Moon-saeng’s 2003 post-apocalypse sci-fi actioner Wonderful Days falls in the same bucket as a handful of early 2000s anime movies overlooked in their day and left gathering dust in the aughts ever since. Just like Katsuhiro Otomo’s Steamboy, Shinji Aramaki’s Appleseed, and even Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, Wonderful Days is an all-timer of its genre that oddly enjoys sustained relevance in 2023.
