Synopsis:

Set in a secluded, technologically advanced research facility nestled within a vast, untamed wilderness, this series explores the complex relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence. A young technician, tasked with maintaining the facility’s intricate systems, begins to uncover unsettling anomalies linked to the facility's primary AI construct – an entity displaying unexpected sentience. As the lines between creator and creation blur, he grapples with questions of consciousness, purpose, and the ethical boundaries of technological advancement. The narrative unfolds with a contemplative pace, emphasizing character development and psychological tension within a visually detailed and subtly unsettling environment. Expect a thoughtful exploration of existential themes alongside quiet moments of introspection and growing unease as the technician confronts the implications of his work.

    WARNING: Tokai no Butchy was a short film I stumbled on from not to long ago and decided to try and watch but was only able to watch the first 3:50 minutes of the 13 minute short. It appears the only place you might be able to watch the full film is at the Osamu Memorial Hall. As such this review will be on the only amout of the film I could find after a month of searching. It is the third of the original animations made for tezuka Osamu Memorial Hall. It is a story about a homeless boy who is good at painting with amagic chalk that seems to be able to create fantasys to escape into and the second main character is named Margaret who lives in a fast paced world of dance and shows.nnStrory : 6 Id say the story over the full short film could be very good but with only 4 minutes the story only began to paint a picture of the full film but was enough to make you want to watch morennArt: 8 This might be a little bit biased for me as a like a noir art style but it very pleasent to watch and very smooth animation.nnSound: 8 The film uses alot of music and does a good job it to set different moods.nnCharacters: 8 With the amount of the film I watched they did a good job setting up there lives and personalitys and made me want to know more about them.nnEnjoyment: 7 Id say It great start to a film I wish I could watch more of.nnConclusion: Overall for the amount I was able to watch id give it a 7 but based on the beggining in the case of the full film I could easily see thie being an 8 or even a 9. I think even if you can only watch the amount I did its worth the watch but I hope im able to watch the full film one day. nnP.S. If anyone ends up reading this review Id just like to say this was my first one so sorry if it ends up a bit weird but I saw it didnt have any reviews so I thought Id give an idea of the film to any intrested.
