Just plot twist after plot twist. I thought this was gonna a little love story but boi was I wrong. I think this might have been a variation of the Japanese legend of Hanako-san where a ghost girls haunts the school toilets but not too sure. Had fun watching it nonetheless!

It's certainly an interesting, unsettling. Curious if this is all fictitious or else... Not sure about the music choice, feels a little bit out of place, but I'm not upset with it either.

I mean for only 4 minutes it could have been a lot worse, however by no means is this good at all.

it was definitely odd, as expected from sasaki.

the art is nice, the music too, although the story itself is where i am lost.

it's probably symbolic but i can't really pick anything apart from it right now, maybe i have to rewatch it a few times lol. it was overall fine, it was short so i can't complain much.

idk if it is just me, but the kid at the end kindda looks like the mc, I mean, their hair is significantly similiar, don't ya think? Does that mean the girl's spirit somehow went back in time for revenge? Or maybe it's just the boy's fantasy, imagining her revenge on him out of guilt or something

Eeeeeh, in 5min they succeed to make 2 plot-twist ?
I find it really good, and the difference between calm music, bland voice & MC made me laugh really hard.
I liked it, thank you for bringing that one up !
Already have my ticket for hell, don't ask me !

That was a true work of art.

The dearer you hold a memory the more painful it becomes.

Went from attending School to Murder in 2 Minutes.
The music throughout is.
"We Were Lovers" by JJ Burnel from the Anime OP "Gankutsuou"
Lovely song too.
