Another one of those "artworks brought to life" anime that look...well more like an artwork than an anime. In a traditional style of art, which I wouldn't know about art periods to say, but it carries none of classifications we call anime art style.
Well other than the fact anime is very detailed and focuses much on scenery, shading, and character design.

But even this deviated by having somewhat simplistic character design for an anime.
Even still, this was an amazing watch because it had a great mood and a captivating surrealism.

Loved it. Very imaginative and unique.
It was really short though. It might be best to watch these all in a row.

Art style was awesome, but wow, a turtle that's carrying a town.

Art is simple yet somehow beautiful :) Ha, for such a short story this was pretty awesome. I smiled when the 'hill' stood up and gawked like an idiot when there proved to be more of them. Nice creativity :) I want to see more of this, definitely.

I really liked the art style.. it doesn't really look like anime but it's very nice tho. I wish it was a lil longer.

Wow one frog or toad like that was amazing enough but there were several of those floating "things" (I think I'll refer to the title, cities of light) in the water at night, hell I won't sleep too! :D

The author of these stories always has an unique art style and atmosphere to it! While it's a hit or miss, I tend to like it from time to time! Let's see what the other episodes will offer.

Reminded me of one of my favorites - A Piece of Phantasmagoria. I loved the view with all of the island cities floating in the water.

I think this could have had a bigger impact in terms of the creativeness if it was even one minute longer. Anyway, nice aesthetic, I don't know what is the correct term to describe it, but it feels oddly satisfying, similar to Cat Soup.

Unique art-style and serene atmosphere. 

A pig with long legs and a hotel on a frog!
