Well that was an interesting short.
Sadly I couldn't find it subbed but I don't think it's that hard to get what it's about.
Really liked the colors aswell.

It's one of those shorts where I'm really drawn to the style but without going too much into personal socio-political affiliations the ideological lens through which the story is told erks me; a bit like Mudai actually d:

I think it's very fitting that the short ends with the Nighthawk dying in a physical sense but lives on in the stars with dignity and manages to keep a hold of its identity and ideals (cue Cruel Angel's Thesis).

Wow, I really liked it a lot. Definitely my top fav anime by Katou Ryu. I might want to see more of Miyazawa Kenji as well

I'm my own original character, Nighthawk.

It was quite calming to watch.

I loved the Narrator's voice.

The anime was so calming.
Sorry for my English.

Such a good story along with some good art.

Well, At least he finally became a star he always wanted and now he was remarkable when he lived. That was one beautiful form he transformed into.

I thought when he said he closed his eyes with a bloody beak, I thought he was done just like that but he opened his eyes and became great in the end.

7/10.

Way too long and repetitive IMO, but the artwork is just incredible, I'm in love with this style.

So many messages in just 10 minutes (staying true to yourself, oppression of the weaker ones and self-sacrifice)

Yes! And the art!
This and House of Cubes are the most beautiful short I have seen so far. It was a wonderful experience.

Didn't really care for the story or characters on it's own right, but I rather loved the artwork and colours. The scene where the Nighthawk flies into the stars especially was excellent. 6/10.
