Gondora

This highlights the struggle people with mental illness have in life or kids who play Fortnite they are the Man that has the plane on his Head not being able to fit in and has to start his own little world where he makes the rules. He makes sounds that block out the outside world. The cool kid or person with Helicopter hat is a regular person who makes proper sounds that being a buzz sound. Personally this hits me hard as my friend plays fortnite and is hated by all i had to try to save him but that was unsuccessful. Again this anime ... is great and is a must watch, warning will hit different tho. Also don't watch this if ur on drugs you might die.

Story
What you see is what you get. Is a fair deception on this anime in-regard to the cover-shot. You see a boy and a plane. That is it. Nothing more, nothing less. However, it is also what you would not expect. I would expect most shows to have a good plot. This plot is confusing. There was one minor possibility of plot reference but it was not only written fast but was in japanese so i could not make what was typed. I get the symbolism ... of moving fast but general a slower speed would be more preferred.

Art
You have color. You have adequate drawings. Good animations. Artwork did cheap out. Embedded actual real shots into the show (drawing).

Sound
Something about the sound was annoyingly high pitched. Music matched plot speed and art. Right sound effects were used.

Character
Normally shows tells something about a character or so. Here not so much. This was more interpretative then definitive. You the viewer had piece things together. I originally thought this was a young mind's imagination but how the ending fits in with that theory is a mystery.

Enjoyment
This animation requires one to think. Similar to a mystery genre but you have few bits of intelligence.

It's rated under five for a good reason. It's all style, no substance, and the style isn't even very good. Furthermore, the sounds and music are annoying, and the runtime is only about a minute, so you can't expect any depth. As a fan of both Katsuhiro Otomo and Studio 4C, there really isn't much here to see. For completionists only. The beginning zoom on the character shown on the title art is quite psychedelic. He's shown from a few different angles, and is composited over some live action footage, as if simulating the man moving through a crowd. Another man with a tea kettle ... on his head walks into the room, confronting the first character. They both make strange sounds at each other. The end! What?

Eh, just a random experimental animation short done on a shoestring budget. Don't be mistaken by anyone who tries to apply meaning to this and also suggests it's actually GOOD solely because it is obtuse and leaves us to grasp at some potential meaning. I'm sure Otomo had some concept in mind, and you can decide it's about whatever, but even if we arrive to a concrete conclusion as to the meaning, this is very shallow art. It has very little to say; it is not thought provoking; it does not entertain; it's not even particularly interesting from a design standpoint.

This is barely above abstract expressionist art in terms of its primitivity. The short just depicts an abstract concept in an emotional manner--seemingly little more than glorifying the headspace of two odd individuals, and since I suppose that's an American bomber on the man's head, then this might also have something to say about the continued occupation and shame of being a puppet state of the U.S. empire; the kettle is the building pressure of the Japanese people--except it seems to be more of a release valve, as the once prideful Japanese have become meek and will continue to do the bidding of their overlord. Yeah, see, I can do the same thing, but I won't pretend that makes this more valuable as art than a banana taped to a wall. Who cares? This production is trash.
