Ever feel like you weren't good enough? That no matter what your intentions were or how hard you worked, that good fortune always found a way to escape your grasp? If so, this is four minutes of an intense feel trip that may leave you clutching your knees in the fetal position by its conclusion. A story that follows a man with the worst luck imaginable, despite being such a kind soul who only wants to be happy and please others around him. Set to a very somber, but comforting song appropriately named Weak Bugs by Toshihide Baba Master of visual storytelling Tekken is famous for his tear inducing shorts, and this may be his most powerful yet.

Wow... This really blow me away. This is one of those AMVs with such a simple but yet beautiful meaning, one that has the ability to touch you way deep down, for me I was amazed. The music is okay but it is the meaning of the song which drives the music and the video only highlights it. The visuals on the other hand was perfect for me to this kind of video and song but it might turn people off for various of reasons. This song is about you, me and all others. How we are in this vicious cycle of bullying and being evil against other and living in misery because others did the same to us that we did to others. You may feel weak, like a little bug, but in the end we are all little weak bugs, having our own burden of problems and misery. The only meaningful thing is to stop it, don´t get int…

I usually love these shorts, they're usually good and short enough that you can watch them even if you don't have much time to spare. "Yowai Mushi" was unfortunately not one of the usual good ones though, in fact it was an awful waste of 4 minutes. The story is of a man that is bullied in his childhood, he is later accused of being a 'chikan' by a woman on the train and is thus labeled a criminal, his daughter starts getting bullied in school for being the daughter of a criminal. Life is going pretty badly for him (his wife stands by him though), he kicks a poor dog but the dog forgives him. He is found guilty in the end (thank goodness) when he goes to court over the 'chikan' criminal charge and is taken away. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Anime shorts tend to get very looked over for some reason, despite most of them can be found on YouTube and they're short, so why not watch them? Perhaps this is because for every awesome short, there is another really bad one. Fortunately Yowai Mushi falls in the later category. Yowai Mushi is a short music video by Tekken, who also did another great short, Furiko. Clocking in at only four minutes, it is about the trials one man faces and how he is bullied like a weak bug throughout the story and all of the terrible things that happen to him. The message to the whole thing is, “yes you're weak, but it's okay being weak as other people are also weak” or something along the lines of that. Due to the fact it is more or less a music video and it has little story, the main things to cover ar…
