"Aki no Puzzle" – too confuzzling for me. The BGM was hella creepy!

P.S: Strongly advised for people who has epilepsy/seizures to NOT watch this.

should have been called Aki no seizure

Too annoying to watch. Not too sure what was the purpose. Maybe it was to show the inner demon/fetish of the director?

Wow. Like wow. I think the colors sent a subliminal message to my nerve that caused me to burn my house. Oh well, too bad. I actually thought I was having an epilepsy attack while watching this.

Seriously tho, this shit is dangerous.

Not sure why I sat through this, had to close my eyes for the entire intro (hurt too much). Thought atleast there would be something to watch... Not worth it at all, even if it was only 6min.

af ter some rewatch, i realize there is no actuall happy face... when there is more than individu, there is always something collapse or worng, when it's alone it always slef destruct... is this about social anexiety?

anyways, hella creepy, hurt my eyes... and too convincing... but the effort and intense really well made... 2/10..

Like all of his other works but with the horror and epilepsy turned to 100.
I appreciate the former but the latter was unnecessary.

10 seconds, and this force me to make a meme...ALL HAIL PAINT!!!.

I believe that this was made for pseudo-intellectual hipsters, that type of persons that believe that you are a stupid for not see "complex art" or "deep modern style" in a fucking modern art museum (i am talking about the shity modern artists, not about the good ones).

I have never dropped an anime until now. Congrats Aki no Puzzle, you are now tied with Utsu Musume Sayuri as one of the worst things I have ever came across on.

If the creators ever come out and say their intend was to give people headaches, I'll rate this 10/10. For the first time in my life something was physically painful to watch.

Reminds me of Lindy Hop, a short I saw at HAFF opening night 2016. 11 minutes of such flashing as in the beginning, just waaaay too long.

I think the aim was to kill the viewer, worst short ever!

This is the first short I've ever given less than 4. This should be banned, and worst of all it didn't even give a warning to viewers.

1/10.

This is a highly deep, and thought-provoking encapsulation of our society. It perfectly portrays a message of how there's too many...hands, and...eyes? And, maybe, we should send all epileptics into seizures? I don't really know at this point, so it must be incredibly deep.

At 2:50, when that dude started twiddling his lips, I felt that.

I think we can all agree this is his worst work yet, THe compression of multiple themes being expressed at this speed just doesn't work. Very Dissapoointing.

Yet another randomly trashed anime.

I like the abstract nature of it.

It looks like something a schizophrenic person would draw. It has no substance at all, but I thought it's abstract visuals seem cool. The visuals/audio experience is unsettling and almost anxiety inducing. Still, I've seen weirder shit in anime, it wasn't that bad.

It was only 6 mins long, had it been an hour long then it would have been insufferable.
