Synopsis:

Set within a secluded, art-focused boarding school nestled in a remote mountain region, the series explores the lives of a group of young artists grappling with self-doubt and creative stagnation. The narrative centers around their interactions as they navigate personal anxieties and artistic pressures while attempting to define their individual styles. A pervasive sense of quiet introspection permeates the atmosphere, contrasting with moments of vibrant, often surreal, artistic expression. The characters’ journeys delve into themes of identity, inspiration, and the struggle for authenticity within a competitive environment. Through their shared experiences and evolving relationships, they tentatively explore what it means to create something genuinely their own, pushing beyond established boundaries and confronting the complexities of self-discovery.

    Let me state right at the start that I’m not a fan of trap/electro/whatever this genre is currently called. I’m more of a metal guy and yet I’ve enjoyed this short music video. Yes, most of it is thanks to the visuals. I love unusual/experimental animation and visual and this definitely falls under that category. It’s weird, it’s creepy, it’s gory, but in a good way that doesn’t feel like some edgelord cringe. The visuals here are a delight to look at if you’re into stuff like this. In a way the craziness here is a better homage to the original work than someof the other modernized anime adaptations (yes, I’m looking at you Heart no Kuni no Alice and Pandora Hearts).nAnd while the visuals are the main attraction here, the music actually isn’t bad either – it’s strangely catchy and again, I’m saying that as someone who is not exactly fond of this music genre.nnOverall, I would certainly recommend watching it (well, by the time you’ve finished reading this review you could have already watched it), and ideally without the mindset of “wait, this doesn’t feel like a regular anime, I must downrate it”.
