| This is easily the most obscure anime I've ever seen.. as of now less than 100 people have seen it. |
 |
| Well, that was... disturbing. Reminded me of the beginning from Fourteen with Chicken George. But this was way more grotesque. |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| The art is really stunning, the nose/eyes/mouth/ear/hand people reminded me of a weird forgotten play from childhood. |
| 182 people now. Strange, because this movie was even screened during several animation/movie festivals. This was a beautiful animated painting, the animation is never heavy enough to damage the pictures. The fact it presents a rather simple story (the scientists creating a mix of flesh and vegetable thanks to some divine light then Midori protecting it from others) and seems to showcase multiple ideas (some things could seem sexual for example, there is the obvious idea of the egoistic consideration toward animals compared to plants, probably the human exploitation of Earth or the consumerism trend, etc) is probably a quality equal to the aesthetic. Well, maybe I am wrong and everyone can see something else. Enjoyment: 5/5 Score: 8/10 (I'll certainly rewatch it, score could easily reach 9, maybe more) |

| And still, Bill will live on. He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god. And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living, until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet. Until the sun is long since gone. Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open. Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from. He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out. |
| So in the end Midorin finally gave in to eating that weird plant. When she ripped that things tongue, damn! that was super crazy. This was weird Overall and the animation was lovely. I didn't understand if it was Midori's version of the world or it was another dimension? If it was her version of the world then that means she saw plants as human-like and didn't want to eat them because of so. That means in a psychological way the story is showing us the hypocrisy of Midori or any other person regarding being vegetarians. Because in the beginning she didn't eat meat because she felt sorry for the animals and now she didn't eat a plant fused with human like features (which she also felt sorry for), but ended eating it. Which means she discarded her ways of eating and might include eating meat. The lesson here is we mustn't regard we don't eat something without tasting it first? I'm just bullshitting, I didn't get this weird anime! But I liked it 6/10. |

| It's incredible. 10/10. |

| Awesome. I like how it was hinted via the TV program that the baby-vegetable is just imitating an alive creature in order to survive, which means, if you look at it from another angle, that everyone except for the protagonist girl views it as something delicious (because they're meat-eaters) while she refuses to eat it because she humanizes it. Interesting movie about some vegetarian themes, imo. Or maybe it's about how people can almost start eating themselves because of famine? Idk, there're multiple interpretations coming to my mind. Overall, great style, and enormous amount of passion and work from Keita Kurosaka. I applaud. |

| My mind just got fucked |
 |
| I don't really know what to think about it. Beautiful artistic direction, there are several interpretations but the work is too abstruse to achieve something that would make everyone agree |
