I might be a little biased on this review, but I could not help myself. This amazing one minute of my life was the birth of perfect harmony between music and art.

So simple, no real deeper meaning, yet so beautiful. The dramatic piano music was basically directing the simplistic art that just seemed to morph into interesting tiny stories.

One can't go wrong with watching this. You either hate it or love it but in the end the ONA is 1 minute long! So you'll either forget about the minute and move on or you'll treasure this one minute. I loved it. As soon as ... it finished I gave my laptop a round of applause - one (wo)man party here haha.

Anyways, just watch it - nobody really seems to know this ONA ut everybody knows trash like Utsu Musume Sayuri although I kind of liked that too.
All I can say about it is - WATCH IT- it is a beautiful piece of art. I can't promise you that you will love it though but just try it out.

This is a short about the cycle of life... more or less. So I guess that's why it's called ◯ (Do not mistake with The Big O, which is another anime)

It will take you just one minute, if you're bored and you like watching random animations on YouTube, you might like this.

The short was really unusual, probably made by someone high on a certain substance, but it is well animated nonetheless, although it's really difficult, if not impossible to make any sense of it; anyway, this won't matter much, you might as well appreciate the awesome piano piece in the background that synchronizes with the ... animation.

story
unclear if there is a story hidden or if this just to fuck with you (hahaha, inside joke). You have what appears to be random black and white clearly drawn events. I am guessing it is a take on the idea of a cycle. We eat, sleep, have fun, Fu*$ and repeat. Which would make sense with the symbol/second name circle.

Art
Not as impressed. With art many things are happening. Humans have limited lines of focus. With color it stress what should be focused vs not. A pure black and white film loses that advantage. Also, the drawing could without a doubt been ... more detailed. Depending on a kid's ability in art they could drawn most of these pieces. I am talking about 6-10 year old.

Sound
I loved the music choice. It really blended nicely with the fast paced art. From start to end.

character- not relevant

ending remark: this is a show with no clear direction. It forces the viewer to determine which direction it goes and why. If you like filling in the blanks for plots you will like this.
