AniWorth663114
Introduction
663114 is a short but hard-hitting monologue of a 66-year-old cicada. The insect draws parallels between the catastrophes of Hiroshima and Fukushima and poses a fundamental question about the future of our planet.
66 is the number of years since Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed by Little Boy and Fat Man. 3/11 is the date of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and following disastrous tsunami. 4 is the number of reactors emitting radiation from the Fukushima Daichii plant.

While this could be considered an art film, which is a plus or a con depending on each person, the concept is strong enough to be understood without a lengthy explanation or previous knowlege. If anything knowing too much takes away from the enjoyment. Beyond the concept the sound design is really strong and complements it much more than the animation. I doubt just anyone could do this in Premiere but it's a long shot from the sakuga some people expect in anime. Whether its simplicity makes it feel special or a wasted opportunity is up to you.
For its length it's a really solid piece. It won't change your life but I can't see any loss in watching it.

Story
An artistic expression/representation on a particular event cycle of disaster in japan. While that is a welcoming approach it was not told my the narration or the art. Only partially. If you wanted the full story behind this incest art you would have to do some research. By reading blogs and so forth. For me having a picture so to speak (Anime) for a story (natural disaster in 2011) and not fully citing or referring to the event is pointless. Yes, the anime did hit at the fact but it was too complex. Not very insightful with their hints. Much like the title of anime. While it is an okay title for this animation. One could only know the value the title has on the art by having the right inside knowledge. Which again is an okay, mysterious approach…
