This anime actually blow my expectation. It was unexpectedly too good. I really liked the story line.
this is a story where different type of animal fall for each other which is actually a crime and not normal. This is where we can relate ourselves here. I am a supporter of LGBT. In our word most of the countries are against of homosexual and people judge others by religion and skin color. But this anime is not about that tho. This is a straight story where different types of animal fall for each other and everyone become against of them. This is a story where they fight for their love and the society acts on it.
Very good concept and as i said the story line is very good. The author did a very good job in this.
art work is okay. sound track was good. character....it's perfect. overall…

Seriously, go watch this right now! You will not be disappointed!
The story is lovely and is very real (even in today's societies). The music adds an even greater element of enjoyment, making you feel even more feels than you would normally. The art style was simplistic, yet pleasing, and each character was adorable with having their own looks and personalities.
This was a pleasant surprise and it made it even better when I found out that this was based on the history of when Japanese and Koreans were not allowed to be together.
A very heartwarming story that I highly recommend for anyone to watch!

I thought that, if the world won't change,
we would never reach happiness.
Firstly, to clarify, I am really unfamiliar with Korean animation. This is probably only animated thing from Korea I have ever seen. But I love it. I really love it. If this is Korean animation, than I am as into it as possible for simple human being. Story
This is the simple one. Cat and rabbit fall in love and struggle to make it work in the world they live in. When I was first saw this thing I was about 11 and I didn't really get the message that this story resonates with, but I still understood how twisted their world was.
How could we violate something as simple and innocent as love?
Only after few watchings I realised the metaphor in this ONA and it hit me like a truck. I have already seen other shorts…

“There She Is!!” is a five-episode ONA in which each episode is about five minutes long. The premise is a female rabbit falls in love with a male cat in a society that rejects the idea of interspecies relationships and how they cope. There is no dialogue at all in the series, but each episode stars a song that matches the mood of the episode. What I loved about the story was despite the short length and lack of dialogue, there is a strong story and good character development. The moral of how all love should be accepted is strong and presented well, and it’s still relevant today.
Story: 10/10
Then there are the characters. Our leads are a female rabbit, Doki, and a male cat, Nabi. When the first meet, Nabi is against the idea of challenging society but eventually gives in. After several…

There she is!!: Brilliance In Flash Animation Storytelling
Do you ever watch something that blows away your expectations completely? When I was watching this short series, I was blown away by how something so simple can be so complex at the same time. When I watch a flash cartoon, I expect something funny, silly, and sometimes downright vulgar. Typically, flash animation is not very provocative...however, this series stepped into that fray and did what most flash animators fail to do...tell a captivating story.
The story primarily revolves around a female rabbit named Doki who meets a male cat named Nabi at a vending machine. She immediately becomes infatuated with him while he tries to avoid her knowing that it's socially unacceptable for a cat and rabbit to fall in love. In theory, it'…

Every so often I am lucky enough to come across a series or a short that gives me a reason to sigh and say "This is why I love film/anime" and "There She Is!!" by Korean Flash animator and comic book store clerk, Amal Rock (or Amalloc on MAL) and picture book author/illustrator, Pore (Sogong) - the series art director (two of the three members of the animation's small Korean production company: SamBakZa) is one such love story; guaranteed to go down in history as one of the best shorts ever made, if it ever gets the recognition it truly deserves.
It begins as any star-crossed love story should, overly enthusiastic girl meets boy and stalks him with love until he succumbs to her loving embrace, but soon we learn that there is so much more and these characters become catalysts for their e…

Going into this I didn't expect anything special, but was pleasantly surprised when that was exactly what I found.
The art was simplistic. I mean that in the best way possible though. High quality and flashy effects just aren't needed for this. In fact, using simple and cute art like this was a smart design choice, as the subject matter is rather dark.
All of the songs were great. The mood of each episode was defined by its song and I appreciated that. There is no voice acting, so nothing to say about that.
The story and characters had a surprising depth I didn't expect. After the first episode I thought it was a moe sketch comedy, and almost dropped it, but the second episode kept my attention and by the third I was hooked. The third episode came and I was surprised how accurately they…

I first started watching it because my friends where saying how much they loved it. So I looked it up on YT and suddenly fell in love with the sad and sweet story that I absolutly adore.
The story was so great, the first part was sweet, I think Doki is adorable and I understand why she fell for Nabi. I never notice the signs until the last episode. Then when the story gets sad I feel their love, its just so cute.
The art was great because you can see the point so clearly, the person knew what they were doing.
The sound, even though I couldn't understand the words of the songs I heard it still made me know what was happening. Everything made sense, I muted it once and understood why the sound was there. To help you realize what it means. Though it usually does I was just experamenting.…

I saw the first episode or "step" to this show and couldn't understand why it was getting a lot of hype. Curious I stuck around and watched it till the end. I have to say for those twenty minutes my face expression went from blank to *GASP*.
Story: The story is plainly forbidden love. It's a more serious subject, that is evident in our world today. I'm glad that a few animators took the time to create something short and cute with that kind of topic.
Art: The art is just cute. I couldn't help but aww at Doki and Nabi many many many times.
Sound: No spoken words, just songs. Don't worry about not being able to speak Korean. You just gotta feel the rhythm and the animation tells the story without the words.
Character: Ahhh the characters. Now the characters, seem typical. You have the…

I've never written a proper review once but i guess i'd give it a go.
One thing i really like about this animation is that it's short - yes 5 mins per episode. And yet, every 5 minutes makes so much sense and touches you deep within.
The typical love stories that has it's hardship, and the song was definitely suitable (and funny to an extent). I think it was really enjoyable, it's a really light hearted animation! Do watch it even for fun only :D

When I look at the world we live in I like to think that as a species we are evolving, even though at times it seems to be painfully slow. Each generation becomes more and more tolerant and open to things not familiar and not status quo. The number one issue facing humanity is just our ability to get along with each other. There is not a place on earth in which people are dying, because of their race or the gods they worship or because of the person they choose to love. Amazing that a simple little flash anime such as this can manage to sum up everything so sweetly that one hundred times longer can’t.
For a story with no dialogue, the message of There she is!! comes across loud and clear. All of its episodes are told as though they were music videos. One doesn’t even need to know what the…
