What a shame. Of all the artists Murakami could have collaborated with, why did it have to be Billie Eilish? I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, but in the end, I was left disappointed.

It's actually quite amusing how bad both the video and audio are.
They did well to match the visuals to the bad audio.
The dearer you hold a memory the more painful it becomes.

man this is not good. the song is pretty dang bad, the animation aesthetically is pretty bad too, and the actual substance of the animation is near to non existence. this was just awful. I would be more likely to say that this was ok if they did something creative with it, with the animators taking this as an opportunity to have fun with a large budget and cultural relevance that comes with making a music video, using the music as a jumping point similar to other good music videos with animation. but it looks dirt cheap and basic, it feels like everyone involved with the song and animation wanted to go home early.

i didnt even know this was registered in mal but i watched just bc i found out.

i cant take it seriously,its almost satire how BAD it is, i refuse to believe someone looked at that and went "cool!".
it makes most cgi anime look outstanding

No opinion on Billie Eilish, I just watched it because Takashi made it. I disliked the animation, and the music was much worse. Yet this video still has over 1 million likes. *sigh

I liked it, particularly the song! On the animation part, nah it was lackluster in some way, I don't like these types of CGI coordinations.

First song I hear more than 5 seconds of from this mumbler, and it's absolutely terrible.

Until 1:45 the music video was shit but after that it was kinda cool. Overall I think it would've been way better in 2d animation rather than 3d, the 3d just makes it look janky.

I actually dont mind Billie Eilish, but uh, yeah, lets just say this isnt one of her good songs.

I thought this Takashi guy was supposed to be an artist or something.

I've seen better music videos made on Miku Miku Dance by a single person in the comfort of their own room, yet this abomination has 2.5 MILLION likes.

Song itself is strange, too. Might not appeal to me since I'm not a depressed teenager, but even then it's still shit.

Only redeeming part was where she turned into a giant spider. That was kinda cool, I guess?

The song is pretty mediocre but the animation is fun to watch. It's certainly not good but it has a weird "cursed" and wicked charm to it, kinda like a forgotten creepypasta from the 2000s or something

I was like "why is everyone hating on this short, it can't really be that bad, can't it?", but then "oh, it's Billie Eilish, yeah, no wonder, lmao".

I still can't find the attraction to her songs.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
