Synopsis:
The anime unfolds as a visually striking interpretation of Kenshi Yonezu’s "Metronome," presenting a dreamlike journey through fragmented memories and emotional landscapes. It follows a solitary figure navigating surreal environments, their actions echoing the song's rhythmic pulse. The animation blends abstract imagery with moments of quiet introspection, exploring themes of time, repetition, and the struggle to find one's own pace within a predetermined structure. A melancholic atmosphere permeates the experience, inviting contemplation on personal burdens and the search for authentic self-expression. Rather than a linear narrative, it offers an evocative mood piece, prioritizing sensory resonance over explicit plot, leaving ample room for individual interpretation.

*Contains spoilers of the lyrics, for those of you that understand Japanese* This song made by Kenshi Yonezu really has inspiring lyrics. It speaks of the love life between two which has ended, to which he compares it having gone back in time to before they met. The meaning of the title, Metronome, is due to how their lives were always in sync until their tempos started growing apart, towards their inevitable separation. The singer sings of how he regrets not saying the things he's thought of and has hope of the two being back together. It is a beautifully hopeful yet sad story. The art/animation wasa bit lackluster for a music video. Not only does it feel like the singer should have been a woman (or the character a guy) to relate with the voice/character, but also there is not much going on. Because of the alternating images presented being replaced by other objects of the same forms, we are to believe we are living the memories of the woman the author loved. nnThere is a well made English cover done by ❀ rachie/れいち ❀ on YouTube, which I believe bonifies the meaning of the song by quite a bit.nnEnjoy watching this sentimental piece.
