Kaisen is a rather unique short from Ryohei Yanagihara, who really had a way with animation that feels both fluid and experimental. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in its visuals and the atmosphere it creates. The themes of nature and transformation resonate throughout, which is interesting considering the era it was made. The practical effects here are quite striking for 1960; they add a tactile quality that you don't always see in animation. What stands out most is the way it blends traditional techniques with a sense of modernity, something that isn’t often achieved in shorts from that period. Definitely a piece worth contemplating.
