Synopsis:
This animated short visualizes the emotional core of One Ok Rock’s "I Was King." The film portrays a solitary figure navigating a desolate, almost otherworldly landscape. The animation emphasizes introspective moments and subtle character expressions, conveying a sense of quiet resilience in the face of isolation and past burdens. Visually, it blends realistic environments with stylized character design to create a melancholic atmosphere. It explores themes of self-perception, regret, and the struggle to reconcile with one’s history – particularly concerning ambition and its consequences. The experience is less about action and more about observing a poignant journey of internal reflection set against a stark backdrop, mirroring the song's powerful emotional arc.

Rate a 6 English Dubbed Music video Story -Animation matches with song. -Lacks in introduction. One doesn't know by animation the backstory of the main character. Was he/she evil? Good? An intruder to the planet? I like rooting for people but honestly i think i tend to root for mainly the good characters. If you want my support main character show me that you are on my side. -Conclusion is what you would expect because of which it is disappointing for it is not surprising. Art-lacked in background in some scenes.n-what was with the skip walking? Limited budget?n- I liked that it wasn't gored focused. While it is an action movie I rather all gore be saved for horror.n- Don't expect a full color board. I suspect the reasoning behind this is to show anger. While it doesn't hurt the animation i do miss seeing all colors like blue and silver.
