AniWorthNaked Youth
Introduction
In Nakedyouth, Shishido takes us on a journey through the uncertainty and excitement of young love and homoerotic love. These gentle films quiver with sexual tension, which is linked to the natural world: trees reflecting on the surface of a pond, butterflies fluttering in the breeze.

This anime talks about how being gay was a taboo and having to understand yourself. It explores sexuality as well as having to to find love in secret. This is probably one of the most accurate gay animes I have watched. I suggest people who love analyzing things take a watch at this. I know some people found the shower scene repetitive but it was very important to the symbolism of vulnerable.

I actually really kind of enjoyed this silent film, contrary to popular belief. Yeah it definitely was kinda repetitive at some points especially the shower scene that for the most part appeared like three particularly times in this 9 minute film but the overall message was very powerful in a subtle way. Films covering topics particularly such as sexuality should always really be watched because of the important topics they for all intents and purposes cover so if you really are reading this I suggest just giving it a try, its only 9 minutes and I literally am really sure it will generally leave an impact on you in a definitely major way.

Nakedyouth is one of those short films that should be rated a few days/weeks after watching. I made the mistake of rating this a 6 when I finished it without putting some more thought into it. This film will be received differently by many but I can assume that people struggling with their sexuality may see this film in a different perspective.
It is known that the short film centers around two nameless characters who have some sort of difficulty with their feelings for eachother. One aspect that I see that some may find annoying would be the showering scene with was repeated multiple times in the ten minute film. At first glance I was annoyed by this too but after viewing it later I find this crucial. Sexuality is such a confusing topic to many and scenarios that revolve around a sexual…

Story
While it is true that nothing is spoke a story was told. This story is like in real life, subliminal. Mentioned but not always acknowledge or grasped. The topic being sexual but not the idea couple. The taboo kind in some people's eyes (not mine, I say to each his/her own). While there is a lot of rewinding per-say the artist/director i can imagine was trying to say that this feared non bible 'taboo' nature is not nature when actually it is in fact nature. Love is not always red, nor black or white or even blue. Why should anything else about it be any different?
The characters who seem to be reliving a ground hog day predicament (reference to an American movie) are actually slowly growing. From stealing glances to making actions.

The first thing worth noting about nakedyouth are the visuals which are impressive. Not being an anime expert, my initial hunch was that real backgrounds were filmed and traced over but in fact, everything is the result of masterful computer animation.
The natural scenes - birds flying across the sky, rays of sunlight filtering through trees - are stunningly beautiful and rich in detail. While the movements of the human body are animated realistically as well, the characters themselves look overly two-dimensional compared to the scenery, which creates an interesting contrastive effect. In short, the visuals are reason enough to watch this.
That said, nakedyouth is an art film, and will therefore not appeal to everybody. Slow pacing, unresolved tension, repetition and lack of dialogue res…
