You really have to watch this at least twice if you want to evaluate it. Once if you want to pay attention to the technical aspects, and once to react to the imagery.
I really enjoyed the technical aspects. I'm old, so if I see a drawing-style animation of a guy looking in mirror in something like a music video, I'm going to think of A-ha's Take On Me. But that's very much not what this is. There are a lot of transitions between styles, a lot of different kinds of imagery. Nothing stays so long as to become "stale" but nothing goes so fast as to not have an impact. I like how it was executed.
Imagery and feeling-wise, I also enjoyed this a lot. It starts and ends with a guy brushing his teeth in the mirror, kind of a mundane but still meditative task. But the middle is a combination of c…

Vibrant, powerful, beautiful, colorful.
It's a shame that people like the autor of this who proves to be crazy for it isn't and will not be appreciated, poor man him and all those who like him seek to come up with something special with animation (and have the capacity for it) in an industry with tremendous potential but whose audience only seems to value self-improvement stories for weaboos (I'm not wanting to attack that people, to each their own, but the effect they have).
Go draw backgrounds for the new ultra popular anime series, it seems to be the only future you have, even marketing and adds value people like you more than your industry and its consumers.

Opinion & Informal
Art: 6/10 It was quite alright for a "super-short." There was a definite style going on here and it was able to stick to it most of the time.
Animation: 7/10 It was noticeably good for a super-short and the transitions and overall fluidity of the animation was acceptable.
Plot: 5/10 No plot. It was more of a mesmerizing piece? It had this air of meaningfulness that isn't really noticeable in other super-shorts. Development: 5/10 No development.
Music: 7/10 Actually had good music for once for a super-short.
Overall: 5/10 It was actually an entertaining super-short. I enjoyed this more than other super-shorts.

Just like many of his very vague looking works, but with really deep meanings to them, this is yet another short by Yutaro Kubo, under the title of “Crazy for it”, just the name of the creator should be enough to build up an image on the visuals you're going to be getting, this is a special kind of shorts, where the viewer's attention is highly required, the art can serve as both eye candy, very entertaining and very relaxing to look at, but also is a dangerous distraction, you can't tell if it's done by purpos or not, but the catch and the moral of the story ought to be hidden and/or at least not easily caught on, that way, the viewer is rewarded for understanding the signs that not a lot of the viewers even noticed at the end of the short.
- Story (7/10):
This a story about redemption,…

So here we are again with another review of Kubo Yuutarou's works..I am a fan of his works of art and
This is the time for "Crazy for it"
So I rewatched this a couple of times and I think I got the meaning behind it..unlike 00:08 this was a bit harder to find
but In the end I give it an 8 and now you're going to find why:
Story and Art(Because like his other works the "story" is told with art,images and forms...or I must say in Yuutarou's case with over the limits and with extreme liberty of expression) I have to judge story and art together and in this case I give those an 8.5
This is a short of 4 minutes telling the story of a man waking up every day and as he goes brushing his teeth we are suddenly transported in a very colored world with a very energetic music that follow our ride

To be clear, I don't quite know if this film is supposed to be telling a story or not; however, the amount of effort put into this is evident and the visuals are fantastic. They don't follow the music but they're fast paced, ebbing and flowing, covering a range of mediums including ink, pencil, pastel, and watercolor (plus possibly more that I couldn't differentiate). Everything is drawn by hand, frame by frame, in both black & white and in color. It's kind of amazing how well animated it is considering there are a lot of traditional animations out there that end up really disjointed looking even without switching between tons of different tools. I'm probably biased because I used to animate when I was a kid and have a soft spot for work-heavy pieces like this.
The music was fine. Nothing…

art film (no vocals)
Music type:Unclear, i would have to say interpretation.
Story
Interesting name choice "crazy for it". Am I crazy (enthusiastic) for it(this anime), nope. How come? With no vocals we have no words. With no words we have no guidance or being to explain things to us. Not that different than going to study hall. Yeah, we can learn but without a teacher who is say we are learning the right thing? Despite confusing to what message is being told if any there is proper follow through by referring back to the introduction.
Art
-mix between color and black and white
- looking closely at the art one can see smudges of paint. Which marks hand drawn work rather than computer. Props to taking the lengthy/old fashion approach.
- a lot of focus on a running character. Is it…
