Synopsis:
Set in a secluded, technologically advanced research facility nestled within a vast, overgrown wilderness, the story follows a young woman named Hana who begins to question the nature of her existence and the purpose of the experiments conducted within the facility’s walls. She encounters a cast of enigmatic scientists and subjects, each harboring their own secrets and anxieties. As Hana delves deeper into the facility's history, she uncovers unsettling truths about the blurring lines between humanity and artificiality, and the ethical implications of pushing scientific boundaries. The series explores themes of identity, memory, and the search for meaning in a world where reality feels increasingly manufactured, presented with a quiet intensity and a focus on character-driven drama. It offers a contemplative experience, inviting viewers to consider the cost of progress and what it truly means to be human.

This short was made by a few animators from the Under The Dog franchise that had too much time on their hands, and is basically the product of their doodles and what I can only imagine to be one of the new guys playing with the soundboard. That said, it was made for fun, and not intended to be either a high-quality or serious production. The reason I enjoyed it it because I looked up the youtube video, and saw what the creators had to say; the short was made at its animators expense, and not using any of the money that theirKickstarter campaign had generated. This was a small part of their ongoing struggle to raise enough hype/money/interest to make a full-length season, of which the OVA released earlier in August, was just the first episode.nnIn sum, this short is purely for fun, and I hope any of you who watch it enjoy it as such.nnZen-pie -

Even though in most cases for specials like these it is needed that you have watched the main series............. but there is no need for this one, the main series did not help at all with the context of this tiny one episode :) Remember to keep in mind that the animation of this is done on purpose, not for the lack for skills ´cause it is nothing like the main anime, this is just for the fun, silliness and trollness :D So do not bash it for having a very simple and minimalist animation by comparing it to the main series rather compare it toother of these kind of simple and minimalist specials like these :)nnit did its job as being entertaining for the few minutes, so I approve! ^^
