Viewing Notes

Had this tab open forever and finally watched this. Not sure it could even be a short film as it’s more just a commercial for ANIMATE anime store in Japan (a store I’ve been to). It definitely looks of its era. I know it was added bc it was directed by Hideaki Anno but honestly you wouldn’t know just by watching this.
