I just watched this short film. I really like it. Obviously, since I am willing to blog about it. Plus, I haven't posted in a while. I love how the script was written. It's very poetic. Then again, Japanese scripts tend to sound poetic. What I appreciated the most from this was the realistic sound effects that gives it a true sense of a slice-of-life. The makers of this short film were very careful in choosing the right sounds that accurately go with what was being shown. The unique shots and angles were very artistic. It showed refreshing perspectives. I didn't quite get the ending. I thought it ended abruptly, but when I read the synopsis for it, I understood why it ended like that. The story might seem slow for some people, but it's really more on the artsy side.
