Unbelievable Space Love

(Indirect spoilers)

A story that barely peeks over ten minutes in total length, in which you don't even learn the characters' last names. Yet somehow it is striking, overbearing, and not enough... all at once.

Of which the entirety of it takes place in a dream-like state. Proposing the question: was the whole thing even real? Was the other person (the other character of either one of our unnamed protagonists speaks to), a figment of his imagination? A desperate fervor of last-minute conciliation, created in a means of comfort, quite possibly. Or, on the other hand, a final goodbye, when you have the knowledge that these ... will be your final thoughts.

And the most welcome interperation of all: that there is a happy ending. Reunitement and warm tears of joy.

The beauty of Unbelievable Space Love is entirely up to the viewer.

In its simplicity, I really loved this anime with a open ending.

Did they both die? Did the other survive? Is the blue-haired man keeping him company in his unconsciousness? Does he close his eyes because he lets him go back to the world of the living or because he’s happy that they will always stay together? Why didn’t they get married when they were alive?

There are so many questions, and I wish there was even one more minute to figure it out. I like anime with an open ending and, similarly, I hate them because I’ll never know the truth. In its simplicity, I ... really loved these ten minutes.

The colors are very calm, the contrast between the world of the living and the world of the dead is fantastic and the environment and the characters give me a lot of calm.

This animation is beautiful.

The colors are the holy grail of color palettes. It's very short, which is great if you don't have a lot of time to watch a multi season shounen ai like myself. It's packaged up perfectly and has a deep story for under 10 minutes. To be honest, this is a hidden gem right here.

My only wish is for it to be a few minutes longer, because I'm longing to know more. It's one of those endings where you have to interpret it yourself, which I have a hate/love relationship with. :,) Overall this is a 10/10 for me. Also, ... I'm pretty sure I'm the first reviewer which makes me feel special lmfao
