I was thinking earlier today about how last year really platformer YouTubers in the film industry (eg. Chris Stuckmann’s Shelby Oaks, MatPat in FNAF 2, Marikiplier’s Iron Lung trailer, etc.), and I suddenly noticed that Gigguk’s anime short film was released a few months ago…
This was definitely excellently animates and the animation staff deserve their flowers, but what was the story here and where was the world-building???
I can’t really get into the parallels between the 2 characters when one of them is dominating the narrative over the other.
I can see that it’s meant to be some sorta story about pursuing independency, but what am I supposed to take from this exactly?
Honestly, I can see this film work out more if it was further fleshed out with a longer runtime.

Feels like nothing. Should have been longer.Props to Gigguk for trying though.

super underwhelming unfortunately, i agree with the other reviews about it being an awkward length. there just wasn’t enough content story wise to warrant this runtime and there was a lot of filler which is crazy in an 18 minute short. also it was just super generic story wise.
