| That was... Weird. Really weird. There was plenty of symbolisms but I definitely didn't get anything. Actually, I think the only thing I understood is the symbolism about God and rewinding life, I guess to show that mistakes are made and so it needs to be undone but uh... What's the message ? Or is it just a religious movie about God taking care of us ? That would explain why some stuffs like the magician made me think I was watching something satanical, it was the evil that should be undone by God... I guess ? No it was really weird. That kid was a total psychopath, his sister was half-dead because of him, a poor pig died, an elephant died, a weird guy in a sado-maso outfit tried to kill the protagonists to eat them (explains the title)... THAT'S SUPER WEIRD. I don't even know how to rate that movie because I don't understand what it is supposed to be about, maybe if I understood I would like it better but here I just didn't appreciate it and it didn't even make me want to rewatch it. I usually really like weird, experimental shows (I'm a fan of Kaiba and Tenshi no Tamago for exemple), even if I don't get everything, but this one wasn't even enjoyable, it was too weird. I wouldn't say it was awful or even bad but it wasn't a pleasant experience due to how bizarre everything was. Now I'll read people's interpretations to see if there is something I can understand... (But to be honest I don't think that symbolism can make up for a bad experience... I think at the end I'll just rate the OVA based on how I feel and not what it tried to do.) Edit : I forgot to add it, but something I did the like is the soundtrack, it's a great one, I love it ! |

| Cute meow meows. I especially love the rewinding time sequence. Basically what I got from this is the cycle of life, the journey we take as we powerlessly get swept away along with passage of time that eventually leads to death. There are also details in the short film that tackle different issues in our lifetime, such as problems in our society and such. The length of the film is perfect, not too short and didn't drag out. Also, cute meow meows. |

| I don't know which part was the weirdest, but I really loved when the cat opened the pig's body to take a slice of beef and cook it. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Nihilistic tendencies and life in the eyes of humanity. The saddest part is when the work shuts off the viewer's escapism, literally, but then again a tv can just as easily be turned on again, can't it? |
| My favorite part of this trip through images was the water elephant in the desert. I would love to swim inside one looking out at the sand. I guess that makes me as weird as the movie! LOL |
 |
| It was basically every experimental anime but mashed up with some despicable characters. I didn't like this as much as I thought I would but it is an alright adventure. |
| justice for the pig... |
| Honestly, I love this kind of stuff, even if it's nonsensical because there is still a chance that someone might get the the message, or even better, come up with their own interpretation. HOWEVER I take down two points for the EXTREME violence against the pig. Nobody deserves to be force fed them selves & get brutally beaten in the middle of a desert. That's just too far man, too far I say. |
| That was one of the weirdest things ever. |
 |
| I felt like dying multiple times while watching this. |
| people die when they are killed lol |
 lets all love lain. |
| That was quite the trippy experience. What happened to the original creator, I'm assuming it's by far the biggest reason why this has a cult following and is fairly well known. Probably the only reason why it was made posthumously. I know she made a lot of stuff as depicted in her dreams, I don't know how else one could come up with stuff like this lol, other than drugs. 6/10. |
| Turn out back in 2008 someone already expressed exactly what I wanted to say here "What did I just watch O_o 9/10" |
 |
| this was really cool, lots of intersting messages reflecting humanity and our choices as well as our treatment of others. I like how everything was deliberate and the animation was really good. everything fit well together. I would watch again |
candies:      |
| Fever dream. I should've smoked before watching this. It was better at 1.7x speed |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| What the.. Have I seen this somewhere before?? But it's so lowkey... The amount of Deja Vu I got watching this was unreal, I had to have seen it before... |
