The animation is absolutely beautiful and the music is very good as well.

Given it's just a 3 minute animation, there isn't any story and connection to each scene but still everything manages to give this very strange feeling that attracts the attention of the audience.

The characters look alive yet dead at the same time,their eyes piercing through our soul.

I would absolutely recommend anyone to watch this short yet stunning masterpiece.

Spoiler***(not a big one)

A short work that is an experimental animation of abstract feeling. Detailed animation and character designs that are rarely seen in this hand drawn fidelity. It progresses through scenes in a dream-like way, cutting between strange locations. Seems like free association, so I've seen it a few times over the years to consider it again.

It is a series of scenes and moods that you contemplate, each scene with many layers of shapes and colors that seem to imply a deeper consciousness and surreal presence.

I have no idea what just happened.
This short seems more like a "look how good we can animate" short.
Story... what?
Characters? What characters?
Every description of the anime... what?
There really is nothing to it, and had this been any longer than three minutes, I would of had given up pretty soon. Its music is annoying, if you watch it I suggest you just turn it off. It is the same sound over and over again so after hearing the first five seconds, you have heard the whole song.
Don't watch this, I felt like I could of done better things in the three minutes spent watching this.
