Synopsis:
This anime explores the lingering magic of childhood memories and the bittersweet passage of time. It centers on enigmatic beings who inhabit a hidden dimension, drawn to forgotten objects – cherished toys, keepsakes, and small treasures left behind as people mature. These creatures secretly collect these relics, transporting them to Oblivion Island, a vibrant, dreamlike city constructed entirely from items cast aside by the human world.
The narrative gently examines themes of nostalgia, loss, and the enduring power of imagination. While largely unseen by humans, their actions subtly influence our reality, prompting reflection on what we leave behind as we move forward. The anime presents a quiet, contemplative atmosphere, inviting viewers to consider the significance of seemingly insignificant objects and the world they might represent.
