Ame wo Matsu,

Set against the backdrop of a quiet, rain-swept city, this short animation follows Minami as she navigates a world tinged with melancholic beauty. The visuals prioritize atmosphere over traditional narrative, presenting a series of vignettes centered around everyday moments: fleeting encounters, introspective observations, and the subtle emotional currents within seemingly ordinary life. Minami's presence is understated, more a catalyst for contemplation than a central figure in a plot-driven story. The animation emphasizes sensory details – the sound of rain, the reflections on wet pavement, the expressions passing across faces – creating a deeply immersive experience that explores themes of solitude, memory, and the quiet weight of personal experience. It’s a meditative piece intended to evoke feeling rather than tell a conventional tale.
