AniWorthDozens of Norths
Introduction
North is everywhere solitary. Here is all North. This is a record of the people I met in these Norths. However, my memory is fragmented and does not get the point at all. Now I'm starting to wonder my efforts came to nothing. I'm just getting the occasional recognition of the existence of the world through the dull pain changes shape little by little.

An illusion of time's passage, latent apprehension firmly planted in the furthest crevices of minds. The North exists here and there, everywhere but alas, nowhere. It is simply a state of immobility and disorientation experienced by anyone with a dream of something more. Yamamura's otherworldly imagery is dense in detail, while the fractured memories are effectively unmoving in a repeated cycle or headed somewhere, seemingly north. The cardinal direction is of little importance in and of itself, but it refers to the universal knowledge that one should head towards a straight path in times of need. A consensus that without direction in one's aspirations, they're bound to be stuck in a limbo of nothingness. The film feels like a daydream, not in the sense that it's unmemorable, however, it's…

A series of surreal animated setpieces connected by motifs and implications rather than anything resembling a story. As surrealism, it's more John Ashbery than Kunihiko Ikuhara: there's no dialogue or narration, instead scenes are punctuated by gnomic intertitles that together have the feeling (to me at least) of an oblique prose poem on the nature of artistic creation. The relationship between the scenes and the intertitles is less than obvious, and some of the interest in the film is probably in the way the two intersect and complement each other. Which goes to say, this is a pretty challenging watch and I can't say I had the energy to concentrate on it properly. Maybe I'll give it another shot some day.

I have no idea what to think of this movie. At first, I thought I was looking at a Dadaist art piece, the next moment I just feel like this makes no sense and I'm wasting my time, the third there is randomly out of nowhere an amazing scene with some beautiful (and actually coherent) symbolism to it that makes sense and I love every moment of.
But that's what makes it so hard to decide what this movie is about, because there is glimpses of sanity in there but the rest is just a mess of words that don't make any sense and seemingly have no ties to what's happening on the screen. When I read the synopsis, it just made me even more confused.
I think you will enjoy this if you are a fan of extremely unique and bizarre imagery and do not mind that some of the words spoken are just for the sake o…

Give this hidden gem a try it may seem much experimental and non sense but this happens too in animes like Nido to Mezamenu Komori Uta, Ningen Kousaten etc but the point is that this has a message and I'll try to explain it in my review
This anime for me represents an illusion of the time passage one slow apprehension planted in the furthest place of the mind.
The memories seem all to be in the way of the North but the North is here and there but unfortunately nowhere, while the fractured memories are effectively unmoving in a repeated cycle or headed somewhere, seemingly north. The cardinal direction is of little importance in and of itself, but it refers to the universal knowledge that one should head towards a straight path in times of need
I really love Yamamura's style and in this…

Well here I am to tell you that this is the worst thing you can do to your brain psychologically because this literally devours your soul and being and i don't know what the hell i am anymore i am a floating piece of 9 trillion gazillion atoms and i wish to rebirth inside the north i don't know life and life knows me. this is the weirdest thing i have ever witnessed in my whole 16 years of being alive on this planet honestly i hope you guys put yourself through this as i gained 900 iq and i am now one in the realm of the almighty beings and gods bow down before me.
