In their little nature, these segments reveal a simple, but no less deep and entertaining.
KANINO AND KANINI: The most intriguing aspect was surely the world-building, which kinda reminded me of ARIETTY, from Studio Ghibli.
I also appreciated how they used just that invented language, but managing to still make everything understandable and sweet.
I almost wish we could see a full movie out of it, let's hope Yonebayashi will eventually consider doing it XD
LIFE AIN'T GONNA LOSE: I'm pretty sure this will be the most relatable to many people.
Even I was touched in a kinda personal way, because even my mother suffers from allergies, although thankfully she never went into serious troubles because of it.
But I really enjoyed the realism of Shun's frustration, and the way his mother is constantly worried about him.
I could perfectly sense the pain, both physical and spiritual, and that's no easy task, in animation.
I think it's something it should be showed to everyone, kids and adults alike
INVISIBLE: The darkest of the three, though not in a too heavy way.
The idea is not fully original, given how the metaphor of "invisibility" to show the alienation from society has been used many times in books, movies and comic books.
But despite that, here it is shown in a very spectacular and effective way thanks to the animation and the visuals, almost like a live-action, like only Japanese animes can do.
The way the body transmits all the necessary feelings without any of it is just amazing and, again, full of true pain, it deserves all the appreciation it can get.
