Where do I begin... Kokuhaku is a masterpiece in the broad medium of anime. It is said that if you watch Kokuhaku you will reach a new level of anime elite. I feel ascended after witnessing such art in the form of animation, but enough of what this anime has done to improve my life, I'm going to analyse ans review all the many beautiful aspects of this ONA.

Story: 10
The plot is extremely good and entertaining. It manages to pack the plot equivalent of Monster into every second. While it may seem confusing at first, it expands into something that not even the greatest minds ... in the world could comprehend. The plot twists and turns with every millisecond, overloading our minds with information and story. This artistic storytelling method of overloading us with information and revealing everything at the end was sloppily done in the popular anime, Steins;Gate. It took Kokuhaku 1 second to deliver the same effect but 10x better in one second. The story ends with something that can only be described as MAGNIFICENT.

Art: 10
Kokuhaku is probably one of the only anime's that has nailed 3D animation, something that animation studios have not been able to do for tens of thousands of years. It bears a unique art style, detailing their cute girls with wonderful intricacy, contrasting with the dark and gritty tone.

Sound: 10
The background noise is just the sounds of crows, an artistic choice from the director which I cannot explain fully without writing this review for a few millenia

Character: 10
There are only two characters in this anime, but boy are they outstanding. We are seeing the story in first person through the eyes of an unnamed protagonist. The interactions he has with girl X are nothing short of superb, as we see the highest highs and the lowest lows of their relationship.

Enjoyment: 10
Even though I am not intelligent enough to fully understand this, I am elite enough to know that this is the elite of all elite anime. Something that is not always understood by the casual scrubs of the community and therefore overlooked or undermined. This is something you have to experience for yourself.

Why does this even exist
