That was so cute and relaxing, it made me smile. And yeah it does remind me of Studio Ghibli because of the character design.

As a brand/franchise promotional video it is really special.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

That was nice, I guess. It was cute, nice music and art. A little confused about the bear thing but it was ok.

So what exactly is the WONDER GARDEN? Is it where she was flying around in? Or is it the place beyond the barrier she along with all the other bears broke?

Just let your imagination fly and my god my satan my buddha my allah hehehey we have a Ghibli-esque thing going on over here.

it was a nice watch but not necessarily something that captures me in its magic. Music was nice and the colors were pretty but this is something i feel ill end up forgetting in the future.

Character design is extremely reminiscent of Studio Ghibli. Commercial shorts can output some incredibly creative animated work, huh?

Seemed like Studio Ghibli artwork. And even the story seemed so.

Liked it a lot :)

This is a story that takes you in a little journey and leaves you fascinated afterwards.
The music is wonderful, it has very "post-rockish" sentimental vibe that fits perfectly..
Not much to say, very nice little movie with a bittersweet aftertaste. I'm touched.

Just found it on YouTube by chance... Don't really get it to be honest, guess it was a way to waste 4 minutes.

The animation was great, but the weak point was the story. They didn't actually tell anything about the story and I just got confused. 6/10

Was it a dream for the little girl? That was one creepy ONA, especially when they all helped that giant robotic bear with its head.

I didn't quite understand what was the aim of this anime, but it was okay although it was 4mins.

I really like animated shorts with gorgeous art, beautiful and smooth animation and pleasant music. :) This one was definitely like that. Power of children's imagination is incredible, although the plot of this short anime could've been way more clear if you ask me.
