Synopsis:
The anime presents a subtly unsettling glimpse into the daily lives of commuters within a densely populated train station. Focusing on the seemingly mundane, it depicts a world where miniature paper figures, representing individuals, navigate the crowded environment during peak hours. The animation employs an x-ray perspective, revealing the sheer volume of people packed onto the trains and highlighting the feeling of being lost in a sea of humanity. The narrative explores themes of anonymity and the quiet desperation inherent in modern urban existence. It’s a contemplative experience, emphasizing atmosphere and observation over traditional plot structures, inviting viewers to consider the unspoken stories within the everyday rush. The visual style lends itself to a sense of surrealism, transforming familiar scenes into something quietly uncanny.

There is basically no story in the two-minute clip that is 1/100 Train Station. Also, it's devoid of sound. However, it doesn't need any of that, since it's main point of interest is likely the visuals. The animation in this clip consists of stop-motion, and therefore it doesn't look like a typical anime. This doesn't mean it has no good visuals. A lot of work has been put in, by including as many paper characters as possible and making them all move, so that it resembles an actual, fastforwarded day in a train station. On top of that, it includes a X-ray moment where you cansee through part of the train. Because of all this, it becomes somewhat engaging to watch. And in shorts like these, this will usually do.nnFunny thing: there is a short segment in the video in which the 'characters' are introduced.nnI do not regret watching this. Besides, it's kinda fun to watch an anime that is mostly unknown as an anime. nnIt's hard to give this one an actual score, since it doesn't feel like something with a lot of meat to it, being just a very small clip. I'll go with a 7, since it's kinda fun, but probably not something you'll recommend to a lot of people.
