Saw this pop up on an iceberg chart and told myself "Why not watch it?" considering it's a 2 minute ONA.
There's nothing much to review. It's a middle school (?) girl that confesses to her boy of interest while ultimately getting rejected. Her reactions are cartoonishly exaggerated within those two minutes and it ends on her being rejected once more after the goofy sequence.
Considering it's a college animation project, it is really really good. Especially with how it was made during 2009, it had a very high quality. The artstyle was simple yet the details were there. The animation was somehow smooth. The storyboard plot was simple yet perfectly executed. The sound design was up to standard. The characters had personality and non-amateurish voice acting. Basically, if you told me it was…

This anime is crafted with high quality and showcases outstanding animation. Although the message centers on a simple confession and rejection, it remains easy to understand.
What stood out to me most is the sequence after her crush turns her down. She runs through different places — crashing into a granny who walks past in shock, rushing into an alley in a ridiculous way, sliding down a playground slide, and swinging so high into the sky that it almost feels like she can fly.
These moments highlight the fluid motion, vibrant scenery, and cartoonish style. The exaggerated actions make the whole sequence feel chaotic yet captivating, showing how much emotion can be expressed purely through animation.
Overall, the premise is straightforward, but the dynamic presentation is what truly makes i…

Very quirky. Hardly 2 minutes runtime and there is so much going on in it. I am surprised how they managed to make such a detailed animation with very less budget. I would strongly recommend it to aspiring filmmakers.
STORY - The story is very simple a girl gets rejected by her crush and she trips and falls and flies across the city. On paper it might look ridiculous but the execution is out of the world. It requires immense conviction to tell a story like this. Salute to the creators of this short.
ANIMATION - The animation is god tier. This short proves that you dont need humongous budgets to create a quality anime. The animation is better than many of the modern animes. There is no usage of horrible CGI that a lot of the modern shounens do. Pure fluid animation.
My only gripe with t…

Love can be difficult, especially if your town is build atop the highest cliff in Japan. Watch as poor Fumiko confesses her feelings to her crush and everything goes downhill from there.
This short animation lasts two and a half minutes and throughout all of it there's an incredible variety of animation techniques. From a purely technical perspective, this short is a brilliant blend between Japanese animation and old-school western cartoons.
At points it feels like watching a standard anime character stride through a Looney Tunes version of rural Japan. Every frame is filled to the brim with character and atmosphere. Since this is a short clip afterall, you can rest assured a lot of attention was put into each detail.
The music is fun, upbeat, fitting of what is essentially a slapstick…

Making his solo debut in 2009 at the age of 21. Director Hiroyasu Ishida's composition "Fumiko no Kokuhaku" or "Fumiko's Confession" garnered a lot of attention on the platform known as the "Youtube" and was awarded the "Japanese Video Award" is a stimulating shaggy-dog story that was told in a linear narrative format.
As this composition of his is a plummeting motion driven standalone piece, it was told in a continuous fashion that lasted for a run-time of only two minutes and nine seconds in spite of this, is simple yet idiosyncratic narrative which suffered no pacing or timing issues, that I was able to be utterly engrossed in with its charming literary techniques of the bathos style that was done in the right portion.
For that reason I can wholeheartedly say without a doubt in my m…

Saw another review and decided to check this one out. It is a short 2 minute ONA so no problem to consume at all.
As a short ONA, it´s sweet, fun and managed to lift my mood. What else is there to say. I will certainly share this to my friends and save it on my playlist so I can easily find this whenever I want. All in all with it´s art, sound and characters combined, it´s simply fun. Unless it´s not your type of humour.
Oof longer review... What else can I say... Now it feels like I am writing an essay that I have to fill with mindless content. I don´t want to. Oh it´s enough now?!

The best 2 minutes and 25 seconds I have experienced this day.
Such a fun colourful little short.
I won't say much about the details, only that, upon finishing I wanted a full episode; At the very least.
The art is stylised and nice to look at, with a soft colour palette.
The animation is extremely well done, i got the feeling i had a good idea of Fumiko's personality, (all she did was scream and run). It just goes to show what a skilled artist can do in just a couple of minutes.
I found myself grinning from ear to ear and even laughing. Show don't tell are the rules of a visual medium, and that becomes even more apparent amidst the slew of half baked productions, awkward dialogue delivery and copious amounts of exposition a lot of modern anime seems to get bogged down by. (I watched the…

Ishida Hiroyasu wrote and directed this one. I first learned about this up-and-coming animator through his graduation project, Rain Town. This was a work that had no voice acting, likely more out of not being able to produce anything of quality than wanting to create something artsy. I thought it was kinda boring, but pretty.
Fumiko no Kokuhaku has no such restrictions. In fact, Fumiko obnoxiously screams for 75% of this short. The art is vibrant, and the animation really pops. There's a ton of variety and showy animation in this one. It's clearly an exhibition of Ishida's animation skills. It also has a surprising amount of variety and eye candy for a short.
The visual storytelling is one of the best aspects in this story. There are only really three lines of dialogue in this short; mos…

it's my opinion:
it may doesn't seem that much good at first seconds -it did to me tho-... it's a short anime after all.. but more a few seconds.. it's HILARIOUS.. I started laughing out load as the girl running... it was quite enjoyable and funny to me. I even watched million times again and could laugh hard which doesn't really happen a lot.

Having watched this short film, the incessant laughter within ten minutes became my first reaction(and at my mother too and in general we agreed in opinion with that guy is a trestle). And in general, girls, they cruelly declassified us. After "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (or in Captain Obvious style - Is a bird? It is the plane? No, this that little girl who unsuccessfully made a declaration of love to the guy!) the girl doesn't leave attempt to catch the guy and uses a trump - "I will cook to you miso soup every day". In style - a way to heart of the man lies through a stomach. But also it didn't help. Guy humorist. Will far go.
Work demands a praise. Not important that the film lasts two minutes. Over it after all there was a laborious work. And work is quite good. Great lot of ho…

My opinion:
Great anime! Short, sweet, and funny. I have never seen an anime like this so it was unexpected, I saw the first 5 seconds and thought this is stupid, then the girl started running and I just started laughing!
Story:
Girl wants to go out with guy but gets rejected.... TWICE.... in 2 minutes! Wow! It might not be a big storyline or plot but it's worth your 2 minutes of time.
Character: The characters suited this anime perfectly, but I feel really bad for the old lady....
I recommend this anime to anyone with a couple minutes to burn, it's not a waste of time, it's definitely enjoyable!
