Synopsis:
The animation depicts a young woman navigating a surreal and isolating world defined by fragmented memories and emotional resonance. She exists within a landscape that blends natural imagery with abstract, symbolic elements, suggesting an internal psychological state. Her journey appears to be one of self-discovery and grappling with unresolved feelings, marked by moments of quiet contemplation and intense emotional shifts. The narrative explores themes of identity formation, the power of memory, and the difficulty of communication in a world where understanding feels perpetually out of reach. The visual style emphasizes atmosphere over action, creating an introspective experience that prioritizes mood and subtle storytelling.

This did not have to go as hard as it did, shiii got better world-building in 4 minutes than some two-cour animes. Ears blessed, eyes ejaculated, do watch if you like nutting. The character design is peak as well, I love both the snek and MC, can't really tell what kind of animal she is but she looks absolutely cute ash, when she turns into a fat horned white cat(?) with claws, oh man she just looks adorable. I would compare the world to Made in Abyss, as it gives off the same feeling and vibes except this MV feels more magical and whimsical I guess idk. Anywaysthis is a 10/10, there is no way you would come out of this saying you had wasted your time.
