| Very beautiful. I like Steve Reich's music in general and it complemented the visuals well. The story is up to interpretation, the intention probably being that everyone can see it as they wish. In each scene there's a person who looks at the camera, then looks away. The idea of transformation is present, some characters leaving the scene. The part where the camera turns and the white-haired girl looks at the crowd is particularly striking, because up until now we haven't seen what these characters are looking at. It made me think the crowd could actually be the audience watching the animation. Kind of breaking the fourth wall and the animation showing us watching the girl. And yet it feels more personal than that, for afterwards the girl turns and looks at the camera again, as if you (the viewer) aren't a part of the crowd after all, but more like a companion inside the animated world. And then she smiles and gets ready to leave. Maybe you follow her into the unknown, maybe not. |
| and some people have the audacity to say that anime is not art |
| it was ok I guess :D |
| the art was so good |
| It looked pretty but that’s pretty much it. Props to the person who took 3 years do do this though |
| If there's a hole there's a goal-Master Oogway |
| Just on artwork and animation alone this deserves a 10/10. Absolutely beautiful to watch. |

 |
| this is hella cool |
   <°))))彡 <°))))彡 <°))))彡 |
| Definitely made me interested in seeing a hypothetical full feature version of it. |
 |
| Can't say I understand what I just watched, but I can say it was beautiful. |
 |
| I mean, it looked really nice for sure. Left me curious as to what was going on and wanting more, 7/10. |
| Maybe I just don't "get it," but felt like a waste of three minutes |
| I can't imagine how cool an anime would ever be with this level of visuals and elements shown in just 3 minutes. |
| I have no idea what I just watched. Not a fan of these visuals so I wont praise them at all but the eyes and some character design did catch my eye. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| More please!!! I hope this leads to some cool project with this same look and feel ... might be too hopeful, but Puparia was neat. |
syncrogazer said: Same Had no impact on me. But it was very beautifully drawn. |

| Haunting, but peaceful at the same time. Great visuals; I liked all of the closeups so we can focus on the intensity of the subject's gaze. The pupa thing was scary. Thanks to poster #43 for linking the YouTube video of Shingo Tamagawa describing his work. I thought the video was insightful on why he created this work of art and his commentary on today's animation styles and tendency towards efficiency. |
