A beautiful short series. Has wonderful animation and the sound track is very calming. This is wonderful series you can watch when you had maybe a bad day, or need some inspiration. This is definitely a beautiful piece of art. This anime really takes the viewer on a journey through a mystical world that leaves you wanting to know more about this place. It feels like a slice of life but in world full magic and strange things that leave even the inhabitants of that world in awe. I definitely recommend other to watch this so they can experience this themselves.

We follow a man named Tortov Roddle on his mysterious journey through many surreal places. Sometimes excerpts from his diary illustrate a journey as an additional commentary. We don't know why he embarked on this journey but it doesn't matter.

Visuals are beautiful and the toned colors are perfect for a dreamlike mood of this story. The dreamlike qualities aren't only reflected in the appearance of all characters and their surroundings but also ...

Mixed Feelings
Aru Tabibito no Nikki follows Tortov Roddle as he explores an esoteric dreamscape, providing a short and mysterious adventure. The anime showcases remarkable creativity, with unique visuals that immerse viewers in its surreal world. The music accompanying the scenes complements the creativity, enhancing the overall experience. However, some viewers may find its avant-garde approach pretentious, as it delves into abstract themes and imagery. Yet, for those who appreciate its artistic merits, the series offers a captivating exploration of unconventional style and thematic elements. Despite its concise nature, it remains a compelling choice for enthusiasts of experimental animation and introspective storytelling.
