That was like some sort of trippy dream. But what a great, insightful short.

Haaaa, so the future species that will inhabit the Earth after the extinction of humankind, will remember us for our toilets? Hmmm-hhmmm, this is fair if you ask me.

of all the countless ways atomic bomb imagery pops up in anime, that was certainly the most novel

Yes, memories of past events are easily altered and euphemized. History repeats itself but that doesn't mean that humanity will learn from its mistakes.

A quite interesting short. Most of it was true, idk about the war stuff though. For some it becomes even scarier, though the gist of it was interesting.

I do intend to not remember things sometime, and I forgot most of this 5min movie. This was like those old short western cartoons from warner bros. The only memory I sympathized with was the yelling by the boss, we do remember them with begrudge. But the funniest one was if earth was earth was destroyed by war, then those new creatures might remember us lived in toilets.

It was good but not too memorable. 6/10.

Inventive visuals, cool short. Tezuka didn't hesitate to joke even about the atomic bomb, it seems. I wonder whose photos were used in the short.

Okay that was a very interesting short or mini mockumentary about memory. I wonder if the toilets are a symbolism of our lives being full of crap?

Not bad, I just don't think it's on par with others from him such as Jumping, Push and specifically Broken Down Film.
