THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Interesting abstract criticism of the salaryman culture in Japan.
Not an easy to digest short though.

If anyone interested I found this review:

I probably regret this post by now.

Thanks for the link, Higashi.
Still, the symbolism in this short is actually too abstruse to be interesting and enjoyable, imo.

That review was more interesting and made more sense than the animation it tried to describe.
I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes.

Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that.
It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers.

I don't like noses enough to enjoy this.

That nose pincher I guess was the manager or supervisor or something and that guy was just an office worker. The regular office worker got promoted and he became a nose pincher in the end and he didn't seem to enjoy it too. I understood the message but the way it was portrayed didn't interest me at all, all that was creepy and the art sucked.

But hey it was nose pinching towards the end, 5/10.

The allegory of being a salaryman was a bit long and, dare I say, on the nose.
