The animation style is striking—almost dreamlike—juxtaposed against the raw emotion of their story. The pacing feels almost fluid, like the music carries you along. There’s this theme of connection and magic, both in the relationship and the concert experience, that resonates deeply. And those practical effects? They draw you in, making the moments feel real, even amidst the animated form. Definitely a distinctive piece that captures a moment in time, you know?
