The usage of the pendulum in telling the story was well done.

To think that merely three minutes could evoke such an emotional response in me...

Despite the happy "reunion" at the end I can't help but think that these were wasted lifes no matter how realistic they might are.

What a touching three minutes, even more amazing is that it was a comedian who made it. A little cliche at times with the hitting of his wife and children because he was sad at work, but it really got me. Very interesting.

It did make me cry. What a wonderful anime. An amazing feat to tell such a beautiful, artistic story without use of any dialogue. The music matched perfectly.

If anyone wants to watch this anime (it's only 3 minutes and well worth the time) it's on Youtube!

This was pretty good.
The scenes are cool for a few minutes, but when the man was singing it gives me chills on my spine. Didn't cry, but that was cool.

Wow, I didn't expected a short to make me tear. I saw a lot of comment ''prepare the tissues'' or ''it will make you cry'' and I thought it was an attention catcher, but damn, that was heartbreaking.

It was really simplistic and had no speech, but it didn't needed to have some, the image were talking by themself.

I believe this is.

He made it using this song and then when the band found out they made it their music video IIRC.

It wasn't until a 3rd rewatch until it got me. The first and second time I gave it a 9. On the 3rd rewatch (months after the 1st and 2nd), the details really added to it. I cried like a bitch

HOW TO SAVE ANIME IN THREE SIMPLE STEPS

  1. To have Mars of Destruction, Skelter Heaven, and Pupa properly adapted in TV series form by Madhouse
  2. To have Inferno Cop properly adapted in TV series form by Bones, director: Urobuchi Gen
  3. An anime crossover of Mushishi x ARIA x Haibane Renmei.


Should even one of the above conditions cannot be done, anime is still at risk.

Most overrated anime ever. Completely unoriginal and more cliched than the worst Ecchi harem bullshit which continue to be released on each seasons.

It's a shame that there is a recommendation for this cancer on the Mudai page.

To each their own, but I wouldn't call it worse than the generic harems. It may have cliches, but it tells a good story in a very short time with no words. The cliches help to communicate the story, but not everything in this is even cliche.

Personally I found it to be quite moving, how a relationship can start so innocently and transform into something so much bigger. The main character had qualities that we both loved and hated, but he came out right in time to make his last years with his wife worthwhile. It communicated some very real emotions, some of which we don't like to admit we feel.

I was really happy that his wife forgave him. Even if he didn't deserve it at the time, she gave him a chance to make it right and he did.

holy fuck, i already watch it long time ago, but when i rewatch it, i realize that the man is not aged near the end when the woman still aged. and it's make me furious. after little search, i found that the man died first.

UGGHH MY HEART! 10/10.

I watched it for the third time and got chills again.

But I watched the singing version so it wasn't as sad.
