Lethargic
A man sits alone in an empty room. There is a cup of coffee in front of him which he languidly reaches for and raises to his mouth. He takes a sip before placing it back down on its saucer. This short series of quotidian actions take place in a mere eight seconds and repeat... Or so it seems at least, as it is not long before this cycle is interrupted. This seemingly everyday event is the basis for the animated short '00:08' directed by Yutaro Kubo. It is, in my opinion, a reflection on absurdist philosophy, portraying, in particular, the absurdity of everyday life. While it may not be everyone's cup of coffee, if you have not already seen the short then I strongly recommend you do as not only will my interpretation make more sense, but if you do dislike it you'll at least witness some of…

I believe that this artwork is trying to show the complexities of what it means to be a human and it does that and takes it to a whole new level of depth especially when it shows how something as simple as drinking tea can show the true reason we are alive
STORY: I interpreted this story as something to teach people how complex a human is
ART: the animation style helps reflect the story so much with the collage like art style showing how crazy a human is
SOUND: the music goes perfectly with the video
CHARACTERS: the one character is at first showed to be a normal woman drinking tea but as we go on into the anime we see what is going on inside of her
ENJOYMENTY: I absolutely loved the animation and the story it was telling
OVERALL: 10/10

The best way I can describe 00:08 is that it feels like an acid trip. It's oddly hypnotic in a way. It has some nice art, too. It doesn't really have a story, there really are no characters except for the man drinking coffee. Overall, if you have some free time on your hands and want to see a confusing animation for a time killer, give it a watch just for the sake of watching it. Maybe you could get a chuckle out of it, too. Or if you just want to waste time, you could watch it. It literally doesn't matter what circumstances drive you to watch this, it's literally just 5 minutes of a dude drinking coffee turned wacky.

This is my first review, so don't come at me if it's poorly written.
00:08, standing for 8 seconds, is an anime short with the same clip repeated over and over again for 5 minutes, but something seems to change every time.
The clip is of a man, unknown whereabouts or identity, drinking something which i can only assume is coffee or tea. Now that i have that out of the way, let's get to my ratings.
Story: 3/10
To be fair, there isn't much of a story, but i still feel as though there is a slight story there.
Art: 2/10
Be real, whether you like this short or not, the art is not very good. Sure, its unique, but, it mostly looks like just sketches.
Sound: 2/10
From what I can remember, there isnt much sound to begin with, and the little bit that there is, it is pretty average sounding.

To make it as clear as possible if you are expecting something more "conventional" and just want to watch stuff like that, I doubt you'll appreciate 00:08. If you feel like seeing something different, you might want to consider checking it out.
It's something nice to watch if you are into "Picassoesque"-"Daliesque" themes, mainly form an artwork point of view.
It's very short, 5 minutes, so you can give it a go.
The drawings and "animation" are good, it must have been a nice exercise for the authors.
The "soundtrack" goes well with the "story", it helps giving that surrealist aura.
The idea behind is not bad just nothing special or new.
I found it slightly unnerving a couple of minutes in but that's art for you.
Only because I didn't understand it, it doesn't mean I wasn't entertaine…

Disclaimer: I plan to write a review of all the anime I've finished within the last four years.
Let's go.
This was an uninstersting boring short, so the fact I'm writing about it perplexes me. He drinks coffee in different ways until the ending changes altogether. Is this existential confusion? I don't know better than anyone else, but it did VERY little for me as a story. I would rather study polymath than re-watch this on repeat. Fun fact: I idealise Piero Scaruffi. Another fun fact: his life is far more interesting than this short.
PS: I have no beef to whoever created this. Just try better next time.

Many don't like this animation, which is understandable - but this is art in its purest, subjective form. Some like it, some don't - it's all up to you
I personally enjoyed it as I am an artist myself. The traditional-esque animation style was refreshing to see.
The transitions remind me of Gerald Scarfe's work and the music added to the atmosphere.
In my opinion, there's no story to this. Giving it an extremely deep analysis would make it lose its simplicity.
Art - as I've mentioned before, it was good.
I cannot categorize the genre of music, but it is most definitely classical music which I enjoyed.
Character - regarding my comments on the story, I'd say the same thing applies to the character. There is no story, therefore there is no character.
Overall, it's dementia. Weird. Abstrac…

Honestly there's nothing much to talk about it, but one noticeable thing is that its animation is even smoother than most of the hentai anime.
At first, it seems that a man is leisurely enjoying his cup of tea, but there's way more much than that. 5:19 is the actual length of this movie, but in this time, so much happened that it would even put One Piece to shame.
However one cannot remove out the argument that something is definitely mixed in his tea. It might be Ruffies, so do not do drugs kids, its bad for health.
At last, I would like to say its a good learning experience to watch such a surreal animation. The artists surely would have enjoyed creating this work.

This is Art. Do not expect an amazing story in a short amount of time. This is a visually pleasing 5 minute video that does not have one clear story. This is an episode of wonders and mysteries that I highly recommend watching.
I thought it was very weird but that makes it so interesting. The music makes you actually feel something. I got very nervous forwhat was going to happen by the music alone. So it is 5 minutes and it will make you confused and this will make you THINK and thats why, I very much enjoyed it.

Well well well, here am I again reviewing a living masterpiece again
- Story (9/10):
What story might you ask? well it doesn't have to be a story to be specific, think about it, most of the viewers may say that the last 5 minute they saw some weird abstract animation and totally miss the catch behind it, but no, It had a deep meaning, oh yeah, one does not simply sip a cup of coffee, our Main character, while sipping slowly from that cup of coffee, was so amazed at how good it tasted, that his mind started working way more than an average human being, in other words, he understood the true meaning of the universe and existent itself.
- Art (9/10):
Why did I give it 9 you say? simple, It is unique and every way, The fast fluid change between the shades and colors was amazing, to say the l…

So in this couple of weeks I have been watching a lot of shorts..in particular degenerated shorts...and Today I surfed the internet on Mal dementia genre and It immediately jumped in my eyes this...
00:08 A short that at first glance I wasn't sure about infact..a name like this seemed dumb and uninteresting.. but hey I was dumb and uninteresting for thinking this..infact then I read "an 8 second animation repeated in loop or it is all there?" This "summary" caught my attention so..
Thanks to my curiosity I started watching it and that thought I had just 1 minute before starting it dissapeared in an instant
I voted it 9 after all
Why? I'm going to tell you why right now:
Story and character: I give both an 8.5(Animation are included to because the story is told with them :D)
We are intr…

My kneejerk reaction to 00:08 was to call it abysmal drivel and be done with it. From my rating, it's clear I haven't completely changed my view - nothing really happens in this short and I don't see any sort of deep message like some reviewers did.
However, there's a wide berth between a 4 and, say, giving it a 1 like I could have done, and I didn't just give 00:08 some credit because the art was nice or the sound was good. The reason I decided that 00:08 needed to be given a little bit of recognition is that it was just weird on a completely other level. The short is so non-objective and so out there that I felt like I was having a strange experience and showed the video to others in hopes of getting a similar reaction.
This means, like it or not, 00:08 managed to make me feel someth…

Life is a monotonous loop of the same routine only to be temporarily suspended by our creative desires. In this five minute short the essence of creativity is explored as a man spends each day doing the same activity until his mind simply won't allow him to anymore.
Despite being made on the cheap with only a single person working on the project, the animation is still well executed and gets better as the film goes along. Repeating the same music track over and over again with a subtle changes as time goes on was a creative touch as well.
The reception for this short is poor for one very simple reason - the quality of art is up to the eye of the beholder. It is difficult to relate to a work you do not understand the metaphorical value of, and I'd wager that few related their own life rou…

Review of an artistic short animation.
This one shows the not so average way of drinking coffee (or tea or whatever).
If I should describe how I feel after watching this, I feel intrigued.
There was really something quite interesting about this but I think that it needed a better execution or rather a more straightforward goal/meaning, not that I mind that it was a mindfuck but I have a problem with art which doesn´t really tribute with anything besides being plain confusing, luckily this doesn´t seem pointless, it has somewhat a purpose whatever that is :)
So yeah to put it shortly, it is a very weird short artistic piece, not your average anime, it can be interpreted in several ways, and some people will like it, some won´t and that is okay.
I must point out that the sound effect/the…

I found this anime in the "Dementia" genre and I got curious so i clicked it and tried to watch it. I intended to stop watching in the first 15 seconds because I got creeped out. But you know what they say, "Curiosity kills the cat." so I just went on.The art style and music was quite bad. But I still have to give credit for the effort. I guess it tries to convey something. Based on the artwork, it tries to tell us that too much coffee can cause hallucinations, isomnia and restlessness. I guess the creators were drinking too much coffee in order to finish animating this. But overall, I enjoyed watching it quite a bit. It had scenes that were really colorful and then suddenly it went into a monotonous vibe and vice versa.

This did what Neon Genesis Evangelion couldn't do in a TV series, a 2 movie recap a 2 movie ending, and a 4 part movie retelling. In a mere 5 minutes this masterpiece show how the entropy in our minds is an endless cycle much like the endless cycle of destruction and recreation that is life an death. First a man drinks from a mug in silence but as he repeats this day after day he is thrown into despair at the useless monotony of his life. this represents the human condition, we are born, we live, and finally we die. As he realizes this the music builds as he falls deeper into insanity. Eventually, he realizes the uselessness of it all and sips his coffee content, neither caring nor worrying about the world around him. He is enlighten.
I place this up there with other great works such as E…

I'll be frank about something here, before I get started. This anime short film does not have a story, or a character - hence, I gave it a 1 to indicate that you shouldn't really expect much in that department in any form or way. It is purely an avant-garde modernistic art and sound presentation using an 8 second loop. Whether there was any intent of "deeper criticism" or "subtle critique" is in my opinion, hard to find if at all. With that said, credit where credit is due, the art and the sound was immersive - its not a glorious short film, by any means, but as a modern anime it certainly is a visual experience.
The use of a rough modern Picasso influenced perspective makes it entertaining, but would require you to actually watch the whole anime from beginning to end without any breaks.…

I regret it.
I completely wasted 5 minutes to watch something that didn't even make sense. I'm not even sure what it was about. A film that was supposedly 8 seconds long that keeps looping. The artwork was not only terrible, but the music was also horrible too. To be honest, I'm not even sure exactly why I wasted my time on something like this, or why I watched something like this to the end. I would not recommend this to anyone unless they enjoy wasting time watching things that aren't even worth it, so unless you are someone like that, don't watch this.

The artwork is sweet. The concept is simple. And by the end I forgot how it started. As it is only 5 minutes long, I would recommend watching it for the sake of seeing it. If it was several episodes, then I dunno. Overall: Pretty cool.

I'm writing this so at least there is a review for this movie. There isn't really much to say about it because it was so short. Overall it was okay and really weird. The background music was good for what it was and did a fine job. It was just really weird to be honest and very confusing. If want to go, "What the hell did I just watch." then this would be perfect for you.
