Interlude

I enjoyed the story as I felt it was a fun mystery to unwarp. The story was only about two hours long yet the world building made it feel like it was 10 (in a good way) and with the show did an amazing job with building a cool atmosphere. The story had some sad parts which Ill admit got me in my feels, but though some people would say the ending is sad I saw it was a more hopeful ending. I don't want to spoil it but I just would say if you watch the show to think at the end if you ... felt the choice he made was the right one. Overall great show.

An underrated piece.

Well built atmosphere, possibly more emotionally invasive than you realize.

Impressive story with deep topic, and good pace.

Occasionally ridiculous moment which unexpectedly enhanced contrast.

Seemingly childish music, but again, enhanced the bizarre feeling, mixed with depression yet hope.

... I watched this several years ago, with no expectation. Then I realized this is a despariring yet encouraging story, with unexpected psychological mark left in my brain. The feeling simply came back to me from time to time, but I couldn't remember where it came from. I couldn't even remember if I watched it, or if it was just a dream.

Yes, maybe it's just a dream.

Look at the poster again - can you see 3 large women? Good. One of them, the long red-haired one is a question mark. While she does vaguely resemble one useless character in the plot, whether it is she on the poster or not, either way both in the anime and on its poster the viewer is left thinking who and what the heck is she even doing in there?

In many respects this summarises the feelings you get after watching Interlude, whose plot doesn't fail to get you worked up with expectations but at the same time gives you a headach for the most ... part due to it being basically pointless. It is one of those animes where the authors tried too hard to twist things up but end up in the end getting twisted themselves with loose ends all over the place and leave the mess up for you to fill in the blanks, pretending all along there is somehow some great psychological logic behind it all which of course nobody grasped!
