Synopsis

In a certain distant land, home to numerous intriguing towns and people, many wondrous sights can be found. Traveler Tortov Roddle encounters a curious patch of red berries and after sampling one, happily indulges himself with more. He soon realizes, however, that this delectable fruit has considerable hallucinogenic effects and finds himself partaking in his greatest trip of all.

Elsewhere, a little girl finds brief yet fantastical escapes from her everyday life. In yet another city, residents are baffled when giant black apples begin raining down from the sky, but find that they may have use for them. A journey into the extraordinary, Aru Tabibito no Nikki Specials explores the surreal occurrences of its setting, and how the land's inhabitants react to certain dreamlike experiences they encounter.

One fateful night he decided that he would animate his hallucinations - and name it "The Apple Incident." Using the method of deduction, it can only be fair to say that not only was he high - but he was also very, very bored.

Despite the fact that I made it sound like a terrible piece of art, it really isn't. If you've got two minutes to spare and nothing else better to do, you definitely should give it a chance. However, to hail it ...

In contrast, the second episode evokes a sense of uneasiness, amplified by the limited audio, making it even more strange and unsettling. Comparatively, the third episode has ...
