I opened an account to write this review, and to be honest I find it laughable that people who consider themselves visual or unable to properly decipher abstract art feel the need to write on what they do not know. I think a persons inability to stay entertained during Wonder is directly related to the overstimulation that most anime provides. Obviously ignoring that this is not like other anime, the main indication is that it is done completely by hand, no CGI or cutting edge tech production to engage your overly stimulated brain.
The only think that can be seen in its merits, which lie in the attention to detail. Drawn by hand every aspect of the short film is patiently actualized in a lucid manor. Over time a story forms, its nothing with a plot but a story of pictures that have the p…

Writing a review for an abstract art film is an interesting task. Any "meaning" I could write about would really only be my interpretation, and to be honest I'm not really one of those guys who spends hours of time poring over and interpreting the abstract. If you are that kind of person then feel free to give it a shot, there's certainly a lot of possible meanings one could take from this.
It's a lot harder to recommend to someone if you're not that kind of person. Not so much because it's bad, but rather because it just kind of is. The animation is certainly smooth and the art style is pleasant, but it's not something your average person would be willing to write home about.
The music is in a rather similar boat. It's a nice inoffensive companion to the animation, but overall isn't a…
