Synopsis:

Set against a backdrop of a decaying, futuristic metropolis, this series follows the enigmatic Matsumoto Leiji as he navigates a world steeped in societal disparity and psychological fragmentation. The narrative centers on a young woman grappling with identity and purpose within a rigidly stratified society, where physical augmentation is commonplace yet fails to bridge deeper emotional divides. Atmospheric visuals combine elements of cyberpunk and gothic aesthetics, evoking a sense of melancholic isolation and moral ambiguity. Exploring themes of transhumanism, social alienation, and the search for meaning in a technologically advanced but emotionally barren future, the series offers a contemplative examination of humanity’s place within its own creations. The story unfolds with a deliberate pace, prioritizing character introspection over high-octane action.

    The animation itself is very good, nothing to say about the music (just perfect) but the relation music-video, personally I didn't liked it I don't know what was Matsumoto's interpretation to the song but have nothing in common, It goes to nowhere

    No spoilers. And wtf did I just watch? Of course this AMV is not confusing per se, it is more the question what was the point of it? The visuals were great and the music of course OUTSTANDING.... But that is also about it... I didn´t feel a real connection between the video and Bohemian Rhapsody. Maybe I just missed something but it felt like someone just took a chunk from an anime and then overlapped the sounds with Queen´s song, like an amateur fanmade AMV. I think that it is a blasphemy against Bohemian Rhapsody, maybe I am being too harsh but I was indeed disappointed! shame on you Leiji Matsumoto.

    This video deserves extra credit just because straight after watching it I downloaded Queen's album. The story revolves around some austronaut people and that is how much I can tell. Art looks quite effective, specially the scenes with the blooming flowers. And the music! Well, if it's Queen, one can't really judge it, you just have to accept the classics.
