Kodomo no Kaitei no Koto

This anime isn't really special, but I still liked it to a certain degree. If you have a great sense of humor, you'll smile or laugh out loud at least once during this anime.

To summarize it so you don't have to watch it yourself, it's basically a girl doing cartwheels in front of women holding babies to impress them. They drop the babies and clap. She does another one, they drop the babies and clap again. Not really a spoiler, that's all that freaking happens lmao. That's the whole story.

The art makes me cringe and hide under my blankets. Seriously. It looks scary at ... first but you get used to it.

Sound is actually good for an anime made during whatever time period this was made in, because I know it wasn't in the last decade.

If you haven't seen this animation yet and have nothing better to do, I recommend you watch it. Hey, a free list entry is a free list entry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Most people who have watched this show do not understand the deep complexity that this 3-minute masterpiece conveys to the audience. This work is truly one of the most influential works of art in modern history, and in our humble opinion, of all time.

The cartwheels represent how Japanese society works as a circular routine, which discourages individualism. Henceforth, all of the women and the babies look and behave the same. This is the final result of the indoctrination process.

The women's clapping acts as a symbol for the hive mind mentality which exists in today's society. Even though the women may have different ... opinions on how to behave when the child performs a cartwheel, society forces these women to act in an idealistic manner to appease Japanese men.

Furthermore, as the story progresses we observe how the baby, who was previously dropped by its mother, matures in its prepubescent life, it can be seen mimicking the actions of the child.
This illustrates how the influence of the preceding generations impacts the lives of the babies, who are effectively engineered to become working slaves for the capitalist society, with no means of opposition.

There are plenty of symbols and metaphors which are still being identified in this work of art.

However, due to the intricate subtleties of the animation, it has become an arduous challenge in deciphering the true meaning of this masterpiece, but we hope that one day all of humanity will be able to experience it in its true interpretation.

I have never laughed so fucking hard in my life.
When they started clapping I completely lost it. 10000/10
