I loved the sky ocean! This was really good, but I still like Glassy Ocean better.

this is a great dreamy fantasy, maybe more of an adventure than Glassy Ocean, though a serene one. for that i might prefer it more

can't quite get my head around it being made in 93

I actually didn't like this one as opposed to Glassy Ocean. I never felt interested in the world.
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it!

As others mentioned, I enjoyed A Piece of Phantasmagoria and Glassy Ocean better. I really liked the star ocean and the two blacksmiths a lot. The imagery was great as always. I liked the more wistful and thoughtful stories better (the other two I mentioned above) to the adventure story here.

This is certainly interesting. Houses below the sea, and walking, talking buildings are certainly different than real life, that's for sure.

Nice, atmospheric short, I wonder how good it is in its original non-animated form.

"Joe Strings" credited for strings in the ending sequence was funny.

I can't help thinking this OVA is inspired by Les Maîtres du temps and Ginga Tetsudou no Yoru. It could be Shigeru Tamura's homage to these two movies.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
