| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I just don't see what is great about this movie. |

| My apologies for being such a dickhead. I gave it another chance and... Wow. I guess I was in an off mood that day. I don't know. Seems like I'm going to have to re-watch pretty much every short and Memories Magnetic Rose now. I can't believe the guy who made this is only 30... Would expect a much older guy to make something like this. |

| Symbolism people. The movie tells a wonderful, yet simple and touching tale of an old man's past, using unique and stunning animation and beautiful music to capture the emotion the old man feels. (that's the short version) THERE. If you don't find it touching you're trying to hard. |
| I loved it! It was sad, yet happy (?) It made me teary. Its a great tale of an old man's life in a house that he lived in. He rebuilds it time and time again when the water rises. Going through each of the houses, it shows a past of each house. From the first to the last house, its the past to the present. |
| it's so beautiful and filled with nostalgy |
| I was just expecting to much from it. The simplicity of it just surprised me... |
| |
| I guess the reviewer did tell us the truth. This movie isn't for everyone. And I guess you have to relate to fully enjoy the life of the old man in what I call a masterpiece. Word... |
| Excellent animation, innovative style, wonderful music, and one of the more touching stories I've ever watched. And in just 12 minutes. I can't write any adjective to make it justice. One of my favorite anime ever. |
| its so nostalgic... it moved me.... while watching i remembered the movie i watched on national geographic channel that talks about global warming... haha (weird me) oh well i remember it because in some time places here on earth start to sink... or something like that............................ gah! im so weird! |
| Brilliant. |
  |
| I honestly cannot think of anything that is wrong with this film. It is a masterpiece that everyone should watch. Anyone that doesn't like it does not deserve to bask in the glow of fine art such as this. An easy 10. |
 |
| short but powerfull :D |

| i thought it was very sweet the art was superb! |

| great short. The best short I've seen in a good while. |
| Awww, I liked that. It reminded me of the Snowman. You know, that Christmas movie by Raymond Briggs. Same style and storytelling. However to give it a 10 is a bit much. Obviously something that short has a high chance of getting everything perfect. You don't start at 10 then mark something down for everything it does wrong. It's a 7 or 8 from me. |

| this was a wonderful tale of an old man! It was a very touching tale! i love it! |
| This was amazing... I'm kinda speachless oO (and I don't get like that often) Brilliant. |

| Magnificent. |
| That was an absolutely beautiful and heart-warming movie. |
 |
| that's just awesome |
| Oh God, it made me cry. T_T |
| Yeah, this is absolutely gorgeous. Sentimental and BEAUTIFULLY animated. The French vibe reminded me of this, which I think most folks itt will appreciate: |
| It makes you feel all kinds of emotions that the man had, and the parallel from underwater to his past was revealed very good. |
| Literally started to cry near the end. Psajdak said: Boring garbage. ....I don't even.... |
| lol @ img bbcode not working, mal is such a great site |

| A work of art. I started feeling tears coming down my cheeks about half-way through to the end of the movie. |
| I think the end could have been different. |
| That was really touching, I almost cried at the end :'( |
 |
| I almost didn't like this. I mean...don't get the wrong idea. It was beautiful, unique, artistic, wonderfully expressive and impressionistic, but...for some reason, I felt so uncomfortable watching it. Regardless of how I feel, it was very good, and I'm curious about that world. |
| wow...i never expected this to be that good :O i guess i have a new 2nd favorite anime now... 5/5 |

| really a masterpiece. also didnt expect this to be so good. i wont want to live in such a world... not alone. it s also a brilliant idea how we get to know his past... |

mikageishi said: really a masterpiece. also didnt expect this to be so good. i wont want to live in such a world... not alone. it s also a brilliant idea how we get to know his past... I agree. That part flowed really well. |
| This was amazing, and the animation was wonderful. I am so not used to seeing that sort of style coming out of Japan. It was beautiful, there should be more like it. |
 |
| I expected way too much from this. I cannot relate to it at all, probably why I gave it a lower than expected rating. |
| The message is simple: STOP GLOBAL WARMING. Anyways, I thought it was a nice short piece. I wouldn't consider it a masterpiece status, as it isn't really memorable or legendary in any way for me, but I'll give it an uneasy 10 for being a greatly fulfilling experience. |
| It reminded me of the beginning of Up. Very touching look at someone's life; I definitely liked how they showed that with the levels of his house. |

| It was a nice , simple , heartwarming story . 9 /10 |
| I gave it an 8. A tear came out while I realized how would I be like when I get old. Made me fear old age even more. Too much memories etc. |
