| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yasuomi Umetsu is such a great animation Director, i love his animation style, there is a certain expression in each gesture, movement or even cloth moving that always amazes me. On the episode it's a little good story, with great animation, loved the "homage" to Pinocchio with the little robot resembling a cricket :) |
botch said: On the episode it's a little good story, with great animation, loved the "homage" to Pinocchio with the little robot resembling a cricket :) I agree but not entirely. Its more of the creator rejection and later regret. The boys playing with some man head almost play no role in this episode,, |

Its more of the creator rejection and later regret. The boys playing with some man head almost play no role in this episode,, I only said "Homage" because the pinocchio story plays an important role as influence in robot/life creation movies,that said i'm well aware of the values that you mentioned, and the old "it's never to late to follow your desires" motto :) just wanted to say that it's indeniable that the little headless robot in the movie resembles the cricket from pinocchio: |
| This one was the best so far imo. Very interesting. Very good animation. Also great detail in art. I was impressed. |
 |
| Pretty melancholic, beautifully done and it felt like a mindscrew for me so I didn't like it. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Pretty sad story with great visuals and animation. It will be a bit difficult to top this, but hope the rest of the stories deliver as well. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Incredible art, animation and music and a tight compact relatable story. Brilliant stuff. Hard to believe that is by the same guy that later did stuff like Wizard Barristers and Galilei Donna. |

| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Yeah the animation is beautiful. I think the kids at the start just set the scene about the place of androids in society, that guy was a lot more than a doll... Slight story though, we don't learn much except how emotionally stunted he is. Hard to believe this guy also did Kite! |
| I like to rewatch this episode from time to time. Top notch visuals for a nearly 30 years old work, heck, it's even better than most of the mediocre stuff from today. So much feels. Would love to watch this on blu-ray someday, fingers crossed. |

| Wow, this episode was by far the best thing related to anime I've watched in a LONG time. Everything about it was just perfect. The atmosphere, music, pacing, directing, and obviously the art and animation. It's been so long since an anime had me completely glued to the screen. |
| This was a pretty beautiful segment , I think that direction is underrated while the animation is truly beautiful for 80's standarts |
