Aki no Puzzle

Good heavens, my good fellow! I must express my utmost frustration! My physician had assured me that by indulging in this motion picture, I would find enhancement in my manhood. Instead, I found myself in such a fervor that I, alas, suffered a rather unfortunate incident!

Thou art a sorceress, I declare! I shall have my revenge upon thee one day!

The film was of the most peculiar sort—a most curious Skibidi Water Closet. The artistry was quite enchanting, and the elephant, I daresay, was most beguiling. Such was its effect that I quite lost consciousness!. I quite lost consciousness, fortunately while under the influence of codeine. ... Upon completion of this cinematic marvel, I found myself soaring through the air like an angel!

Wagwan! Alexandre desu.

I can bet that this short video was made for the purpose of training CIA agents in the MK Ultra program and later used for a Psytrance music video.

Jokes aside, to understand the author's message you need to be aware of her previous works and the solutions she used to convey the emotion or message.

Giving a negative note I think is a bit gross, as I don't have enough knowledge to judge this work, but to give a positive note is also to favour this work a bit because at the end of the day, this video is nothing but repetition of the ... same abstract images with a flashing background, capable of provoking epileptic episodes, and music taken from an industrial art CD from the mid-2000s.

Ah, yes. Autumn. It's a nice season where the leave turn different colors. It's the last time we experience genuinely nice weather before snow screws us all over.

Nevermind, this is an experimental short. it's like playing Russian Roulette but with your eyes. This anime has nothing to do with Autumn. Please name me one way that black and light strobe lights is related to Autumn. In addition, this is a Keichii Tanaami film, so expect random sexual imagery and unnecessary sexual imagery everywhere, because this man seriously likes erotica and seizures.

Remember the infamous banned Pokemon episode, Electric Soldier Porygon? ... That's essentially a mild version (or warm up version) of what this anime is. That episode only contained about 1 minute of strobe effects, while this monstrosity of a war crime is over 6 minutes of pure strobe lights.

<birbsmb was on the floor while writing this due to the visuals; give him time to get off the floor>

Alright, I'm finally able to start writing again. Now, where was I?

Story? I think it's probably about how the viewer's eyes are supposed to bleed due to the visuals. How am I supposed to know what this 'story' is? Characters? I think I saw some surreal random abstract creatures with eyes, but it became way too hard to tell because everything kept rapidly flashing. Also, does things such as fetuses and phallic objects count as characters? That brings up the topic of the art... It's just 6 minutes of flashing colors! How is this even legal? On top of that, even when displaying credits, it's as if Keiichi Tanaami wants us to have a seizure right at the very start. Is this because he doesn't want us to be able to rate this meaningless garbage? Does he just hate humanity? We will never know. On top of that, the sound doesn't even line up with anything. It even becomes a case of ear rape at the end as the imagery finally reaches the finish 1/3 stretch. Also, don't even mention concepts such as the relationship between main characters (which LycoReco and AoButa excel at) and worldbuilding (which Promised Neverland and Made in Abyss excel at).

A closing note:

This is straight up unwatchable. At least Mars of Destruction and Skelter Heaven have something of value to take away from them, even if it's ironic. It should be a crime against humanity to make something like Aki no Puzzle. This 'anime' has no idea what it wants to be. You're better off shoving autumn leaves into your eyes. If you have any form of disability, or heck, even breathe air, don't even consider touching this thing.

Fuck you, Keiichi Tanaami. Fuck Aki no Puzzle. Fuck extreme modern art. I hope this gets classified as a war crime. This feels like I just watched somebody kill a thousand people IRL.
