| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- "Tomorrow from there" - That was just about the most charming music video / short I have watched in the past year. Akemi Hayashi really is a great director. My favourite work from him is still Episode 5 of "Space☆Dandy" - "A Merry Companion Is a Wagon in Space, Baby", which was about the young orphan Gentooan girl named Adélie. (The best episode of the entire series in my opinion by the way.) I loved the music by Avaivartika as well. |
 |
| That was really, really nice. Great use of color throughout. |
| the beauty of modern life? |
StevenHu said: Akemi Hayashi really is a great director. My favourite work from him is still... "Him" ? I'm pretty sure Akemi Hayashi is a woman. It was okay and had a good animation, the music was okay too... But not outstanding. I feel a bit disappointed with this one, maybe I was expecting too much from it. ^^ |
| Dang, I could watch this over and over again. Favourite so far. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Nice PV for this beautiful music. The animation was good too. |
| Harsh modern (teenger) daily life, another great episode :) |
 |
| "Living alone and working a boring job can be tough but cheer up yeeeeeeaaaaaah!" Kind of conventional and not very interesting. |
| What a fantastic world. Now if only this episode was as fantastic. |
| I liked it a lot! The animation was fluid, the use of the colors was well done and the song was great. |
| The story didn't do much for me, but I enjoyed the song and the art. Fronzel said: haha"Living alone and working a boring job can be tough but cheer up yeeeeeeaaaaaah! |

| Damn this episode really have nice song Best episode so far IMO from somebody who make Utena opening scene |
 |
| This was very nice. The music and art were very gorgeous and relaxing ^^ Looking back to the other projects, I was somehow expecting she would be violently murdered at the end of the PV.. Glad it wasn't that way. |

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |

| Original AMV. It was nice. Told a story without a word. |

 |
| Loved this song *-* |
| You could call this a lovely AMV! Pretty nice job in the animation but for some unknown reason it did make me feel lonely. |
 |
| Cool short, had some good animation and art :) Love the modern vibe it had. |

| well, the song was nice, the animation was average, as for the substance, it might as well have been a picture drama. |
| What or who do you expect young lady? G:5 - B:2 - U:1 -- ¿Qué o a quién esperas jovén dama? M:5 - H:2 - I:1 |
| A girl, beautiful music and freedom,not bad. |

| "Living the lukewarm life of a part-timer is so comfortable. When you're sincere about doing something...you're stalked by the fear that there's no turning back. And as time passes, your options definitely narrow. I've gotten older." - Naruo Tanada, Solanin So we have another music video this time, but instead of something wacky and out of this world, it's a quiet, pastel rendition of a young woman living the daily grind in the not-so-distant future. I'm always intrigued by these types of stories, as it speaks wonders to see how little really changes, even as technology continues to change our daily life. We still see people struggling to find something more to their lives. Adventurers, dreamers, hopeless romantics and artists struggling to put food on the table before putting paint on a canvas; they're ordinary people trying to affirm that there's something greater to their lives. Yet, reality always ensues. Is here when the smallest little moments in life become those miraculous moments. Something as simple as a building lighting up at the perfect moment could feel magical. Akemi Hayashi, who has done key animation on a number of Gaianx works on top of a number of Shoujo works such as Fruits Basket, Bokura ga Ita, Revolutionary Girl Utena and Ouran High School Host Club did this short, and honestly, it's hard to make the connection here. Upon completing this episode, I immediately went to look up that Solanin quote because that's what it reminded me of. Except, well, with that Wonderland-esque escape somewhere in the middle of the short. There doesn't appear to be any deeper meaning to the short, but I really liked its whimsical nature, and so I think it's fine as is. |
| Here, we see a girl that is bored of her everyday life because it's all the same, only having technology as a means to entertain herself. She then finds a paper airplane soaring in the breeze and she starts seeing the world in a brighter perspective. If she'd continue to work hard and reach for her dreams as symbolized by the paper plane, she'll eventually end up living in a nice modern building, eat good food and live the wonderful lifestyle she always wanted. This music video is a very inspiring one indeed. |
 |
| Good animation, design, and music. Still my favorite video out of all of them so far. 29/35 |
 |
| really nice, loved the song and the colors, second best short for me so far! |
| no signature because im too lazy to make one |
| Well, that was interesting. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| cute and chill little story |
