I'll keep this review short and sweet. The music was great, the animation absolutely beautiful and charming, and the story a surreal trip through stunningly designed backdrops. I'd say give it a watch for yourself, it's about 4 min 45 sec. For me, the strongest points are definitely the art and music, whereas the characters and story, I feel are lacking somewhat. It's not a bad thing, but it's harder to understand the story since it's more abstract and left to viewer interpretation, which makes the characters feel a slight bit less interesting for me because they feel a part of the backdrops rather than their own people. Still not knocking them or the story since a 7 for me is still very decent, but when compared with everything else, it's the visuals and music that win me over most.

A very pretty song by Mio Isayama and animated by Madhouse.
A very traditional styles waltz with a fun rhythm that had that medieval vibe that you'd expect in a fantasy ball.
The art is of a great hand-drawn style that really fits the beauty and he magic of the song.
Only downside is that dolls creep me out X(

Tsuki no Waltz, or in english, The Waltz of the Moon, is a song by Mio Isayama, with a video directed by Atsuko Ishizuka (Madhouse), and originally aired in the program Minna no Uta.
In a dark alley with only one street lamp, a red-eyed young girl is admiring a music box. When the music starts, the imaginary (or not?) adventure of our protagonist begins, who will tour dark caves and starry skies, first running and later flying, to finally reach the Palace of the Moon (named Chandra Mahal in the song), where time flows in a different way...
So that's (part of) the story. As for the characters, there are other two, besides our young adventurer: a giant anthropomorphic rabbit with a bored face that will not do much, until he remembers that HE'S the pala…
