Synopsis

The short film tells the story of a young boy, who as a result of seeing a dog's corpse, becomes interested in the bodies of living things and starts to develop phobias. Before long all manner of things begin to appear grotesque to him.

Background

Released in 2005 on DVD, Thinking and Drawing features a wide selection of animation styles from line drawing to CGI manipulated photographs. The subject matter ranges from feminist allegory to ghostly tales. Although each film has a short running time of between 5 and 17 minutes, the depth of meaning in each is truly astonishing. The films have shown together and separately at festivals in Europe, North America, and Australia.

Yukidoke (The Thaw) is a conceptual work. In of itself, it shows the viewer the perspective of a boy who sees a dog's carcass, and from then on plunges into his own fears. Due to the nature of the film being short, it doesn't leave a lot to see, but a lot to interpret. The visuals are haunting, disturbing, memorable. The sound, minimal, but droning.

Mixed Feelings

I entered "evangelion" into the search bar of the streaming site I used and for some reason it took me to the page for this (the site is known to have a weird search function). It was tagged as dementia, I clicked on it and seeing it was only 6 minutes long I decided to watch it.

I'm not entirely sure what the animator was trying to do with this, I'm not even sure the animator knew what they were trying to do with this. It's poorly drawn, crudely animated, sounds like it was recorded on a built-in laptop microphone, grotesque, off-putting, and doesn't even have ...

*Spoiler warning!*
*VERY SHORT REVIEW!!*

You ever just regret something. Doing something, making something, creating something. Well, I just did that. I just watched the most randomly-disturbing thing I have ever seen. It was so boring, and so quiet. There was no story, and overall it was the worst "anime" I have ever seen. (If you could even call it a anime..?) also, the art was REALLY disturbing, and disgusting. Most of the time you couldn't even make out what the heck you were even looking at. Only reason I would recommend this to someone is to make them question life. :)

(I also only found this cause ...
