Heh, watched it dubs just now.

It was a bit meh but I liked the music for most parts. I think this is a short promo of the project so I'm not expecting a full adaptation to extend this.

Nice, they got Perfume for the ED.

That was a nice advertisement for the Japanese zipper manufacturer YKK. Not like they need to advertise themselves though since they pretty much already have a monopoly on zippers.

With the English dub, it sounded like two Australian-raised Japanese kids moved to San Francisco or something with all those sloping roads.

It just seemed like one big advertisement but Perfume at the end was a surprise.

The English dub wasn't that great (it was cringe-worthy in a couple of scenes), but for an advertisement, it was a cute idea.

But that wasn't an official dub... was it?
Animation was quite good for an ONA. But the story was average, despite... curious.

It's not often that I can say that I like a commercial, even when they are shorts like this. But this time I really did enjoy this short, despite it being a commercial. I especially liked how they treated the idea of this being a commercial for YKK as a punchline at the end; I actually laughed when I saw that YKK logo!

And I was delighted to see so many green roofs and also roofs with solar panels, that was a very pleasant sight. That alone gives me hope for the future.

Sure it was an advertisement for YKK zippers, the biggest zipper company around (lol how this is a real thing), but dammit this sure had charm.

ykk zippers , nice anime, but the first zippers was made in u.s back when the world wars going on, but most cases it was for coats to keep you warm during hunting season.

i liked the anime cuse zippering there way like a zip line and using things to keep tracks, a zipper hero squad is interesting

so i'm stupid i guess i am not alone

It was interesting. The animation was cute as well. I was kind of hoping for more episodes... :/

Just me...? Okay....

I'm rating it a 7/10.

I love the sound of zippers in the morning...

For a kids anime, it was good and those 10 minutes went by really fast. Studio Colorido hasn't made a lot of works, but after seeing this and Poulette's Chair, I believe that it has a lot of potential

Very nicely done, fantastical yet futuristic. nice music. Was hoping for a little bit more of a showed realization and revelation with the girl but it was resolved ok. Neat powers and loved the futuristic solar panel covered setting.

the dub made me laugh a couple of times from some not-so-great voice acting. Cute visuals and nice music. Also, since when are zippers a superpower? LOL

Having zippers as your superpower seems kinda cool lol. =) This is a cute commercial 8/10

Awesome how I just discovered Perfume not too long ago and find them again in another work. Great!

This was really fun... for a zipper commercial. Unfortunately I had to watch it in shitty English dub.

Animation was great, now I gotta see the rest. 6/10

I still don't get why Kei had to be a brat to poor sweet Anna. How can you not regard someone as down to earth like her as a mother, that's nasty.

Anyways, enjoyed it.
