| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I'm not sure I completely followed that correctly. A little bit of a time travel story. Pretty neat that the baby was theirs the whole time. I'm still wondering how the guy took the place of the girl's mom in those past shots, that's the only part that I'm not sure I understood it all. Nice short though, music was ok, always liked Tekken's art. 6/10 |

| I may be wrong but I believe you're taking things a little too "literally" so to speak, a little too objectively. I don't think there was any actual time travelling it was more symbolic than anything else. For instance, it's not that the guy replaced the mother in the past shots - those are the new happy memories she's creating. This short just showed how a person who was living in a pit of sadness, loneliness and eventually despair - a person who couldn't see light or hope anywhere - could still make happy memories in her life, rebuilding the depressing past life in a brighter way with her newly found loved one by overshadowing the lonely memories with happy ones. Besides, the baby pulling her along and intervening, in a way I think represents the small glimmer of hope everyone has (even if subconsciously) that there could be happiness in store for them somewhere in the world. That hope pulled her away from suicide and gave him the means to express his pain through music. But I don't know maybe I'm over-interpreting. As to the music I'm not a huge Muse fan but I think it really fit the video. 8/10. A few steps below furiko and Yowai Mushi but a short most definitely worth seeing. |
| It was a cute little heartwarming short. Two peoples having a lot of problems of dealing with life find themself in each other. Like other short from Tekken, I find it's often too cliche, like they had the most difficult life ever. It's like it want to be too dramatic. That's my 2 cents. |

| Yes it is too dramatic, but these kind of strong emotions shown like this make us realise that we are not the only ones who feel that way or that there are people who have it even worse. ;__; |

| Nice song, good video. Definitely one of the better storytelling music videos out there and a shining light in all the crappy music videos I watched today so far. 7/10. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Watched it ages ago, didn't know it had MAL page. The music was pretty much the reason I watched it since I'm a fan of Muse. Imo it felt much weaker than Furiko. 6/10. |
 |
| a bit heartwarming |
 |
| Sweet, I like it. |
| lol nice story. |
 |
| I'm not sure i completely followed that correctly but i think the message was that when you're sad, you become black. |
| ^ This guy gets it. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| I thought it was all right to be honest (the vocalist I mean). All in all I completely liked this Anime short/music. It was a high 5/10 for me. |
The dearer you hold a memory the more painful it becomes. |
| Very, very nice!!! The animation is poor but the devolpment is intense. The song, very nice, with rhythm and great message!! |
| I must admit, not bad. |
| Helping each other through pain and despair, finding light for both of you. |
