| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was both extremely sexy and extremely awesome. The trippy yet fluid animation/music was definitely a plus. 5/5 |

| It was certainly interesting to say the least. Definitely a feast for the eyes in more than one way. |
| Erection status: Please contact your doctor |
| I'm not if I liked that or not. |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
| Dat perfect loop. Was the song not subtitled by the way? Even with English subtitles turned on there was nothing. |
 |
| Wow the 3rd one is god damn 10 out of 10 :O |
 |
| That was... amazing and sexy. |
| That was trippy. |
| The animation was good, the music was good and the sound was good. It was an enjoyable experience. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| By far the best of the three short film so far. The visuals and the oblique narrative were both very engaging. |
| Absolutely fantastic. I've never seen anything like this. Having TeddyLoid on this helps. Now I gotta go and listen to the Panty & Stocking OST again. These episodes are very good. So far so great. |

| So awesome. |
| There nothing to say more, than other said :) But for me, i think I'd like to see more of this. If they do OVA with 1-2 episodes, that would be fantastic ... i think |
| Wow. That was a lot darker than I thought it was going to be. |
| Wow. Amazing. |
| That was just bad. And here I was thinking American music was the shittiest. |
FloatsBoats said: That was just bad. And here I was thinking American music was the shittiest. Whatever floats your boat man |
| This was the best one. So much action, drama, and twerking packed in a 5 minute video. Beautiful visuals and sound, and decent choreography, even if I don't like the music. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| Nice NGE references ~ I really liked this one even if there was a lot of fanservice ^^ I'm not really fond of the music though. I just hope that the people who discovered Animator Expo with this short will also take the time to watch the others episodes :3 |
| Have you ever regretted over something so badly that somehow you now have the courage to correct things but since everything is already in the past you can never fix them no matter how much you want to? Obsession. Stubbornness. Regret. This made me sad. Amazing animation and music. 10/10. |
 |
| That guy reminds me of myself, he regrets losing his ex lover and fell into the claws of otaku bullshit. Loved the animation, the music and the art. 100/10 |

| incredibly well done |
| Now this is the shit im talking about! |
| Anyone know if the lyrics are out there? They will probably help with pinning down exactly what this is about. I have a feeling that his ex died (suicide?), but maybe that's nonsense. |

VanishingKira said: Interesting. I like some aspects of that interpretation, though I don't really agree with it. If the main conflict is "just" that he's a hikikomori, then it wouldn't, in my opinion, warrant such strong imagery. I think that his regression into hikikomori-hood was caused by a specific traumatic event involving a specific girl—like, for example, his ex girlfriend committing suicide because he left her, or maybe something less dark, lol. Really like/agree with this interpretation: When I see the girl burning up, falling into an abyss, etc, that says she's not just "out of reach", but gone. Another random trail of thought: Maybe, as a coping mechanism, he is purposefully attempting to delude himself into believing that the girl is still alive, by obsessively immersing himself in fantasy. In this case, the masked girl would be the embodiment of his delusion. Which makes for a fun reading of the last scene, where the masked girl kisses him. At any rate, this short is awesome and I love it. |

| http://shiny-shell.tumblr.com/post/103334240868/i-just-saw-me-me-me-wtf-was-that-tl-dr-ver-at Here's another pretty cool interpretation. It contains some of the things already been mentioned in here, but forms a more coherent overall narrative. At times it feels like he/she is grasping at straws in order to explain everything, though. |

| That was fucking amazin. For those who can't find the video -> http://animatorexpo.com/mememe/ |
| Something related to this will be revealed on the 24th. |

| Most bizarre music video I've seen so far. Can't say I didn't like it though. :9 |
 |
| Seeing all these comments, you must be as mindfucked as I am Even though there was no dialogue, they did an awesome job in presenting that kind of story in just 6 minutes. The Evangelion references and the FPS-like part were a nice touch, too |
 |
| Came across this without any prior knowledge about this weekly shortfilm project. Stumbled upon this vid without knowing it was studio khara and assumed it was fan made, so I was in for a bit of a shock once things turned dark. :O Awesome animation, OST and message behind this! |
| This theory is also nice: "t's supposed to be about how peoples' increasing fascination with fucked up kinks after watching Anime and REALLY fucked up hentai are eating them up and ruining their lives. The guy had a girlfriend that he had a falling out with because his fucked up fetishes made him incompatible with her. The video starts with harmless ecchi and lewd shots and progresses to fucked up fetishes such as the girl vomiting into his mouth and him being crushed by tits, etc, and ends with him being literally eaten alive by his addiction." |
You all need to watch Nami. |
| Reminds me of Nyaboron, just better (but shady) graphics and mind-boggling animation and mindfuck. |
| 10/10 destroyed my mind. |
 |
| the music was sick, i loved it and the story in the video too, although ppl dont understand at the first sigh |
| It was amazing ... and sick ... and amazing!! *o* We definitely need more neon electronic ecchi shooter anime!! |
 |
| what. Once you get passed the "wtf", it really is quite a clever and powerful commentary. I suppose that's the whole point. |

| Saw this in a 4chan thread. My boner commanded me to immediately log in and give this 5/5 |
| I can't get enough of the second section of the song (the part with the drums, keyboard, and frantic whispering). It's very panicky and desperate, like a person in flight mode whose heart is pounding, if that makes sense. |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| Yeah, so I got away from this for awhile and watched it again. Shit gave me goose bumps. Feelings of dread and depression are strong with this one. |
| At first I wondered at the decision to make the real woman so beautiful as she's not really any less outwardly appealing than the false-seeming array of identical anime pretty girls (and I wouldn't be surprised to see her as the female lead in a romance anime or some such), but than I realized how clever that was; this is not an issue of what's most visually attractive. Since she's so good-looking, he can't possibly have left her (as he seems to have) just because he thinks anime girls are better-looking if he's that shallow. The issue lays elsewhere, and it's far more interesting than "fictional women are always beautiful". |

| Great commentary on otaku culture. This isn't just about boobs and overly sexualized women. It's so funny to me that this video already has a 'fandom' with sexy fanart and people wanting it to be a 'real anime', like they literally missed the point of the video. Also people who don't come further than "what the fuck is this?" "what drugs did they take while making this?" "I don't get it but I liked the girls though" like... smh. |
Fronzel said: I was wondering about that as well. I guess I look at this way: even though she looks moe, she's not a perpetually positive pixie (she can get worried, upset, mad, etc) and she can't be simultaneously "pure" and sexually experienced, like lewd dancing anime girls. Basically she's 2D, but she's not 2D.At first I wondered at the decision to make the real woman so beautiful as she's not really any less outwardly appealing than the false-seeming array of identical anime pretty girls (and I wouldn't be surprised to see her as the female lead in a romance anime or some such), but than I realized how clever that was; this is not an issue of what's most visually attractive.
