Umi ni Ochita Tsuki no Hanashi

Incredibly dreamy; equally as slow. I found myself lost in thought a lot while watching this. Rather than something to be "understood", I feel like this is something that is to be "experienced". The haziness of it reminds me of childhood sleepiness; when you're about to drift off to sleep and you still can't distinguish the border between dream and reality. Everything goes while you are in that border - and that's how it feels like with this 18 minute short, too. It's very succinct, sweet, and precise. It doesn't overstay its welcome, but it also doesn't feel lacking. I recommend watching this when you are exhausted and just need a break. There is a serene quality to it that wiped away about 75% of my mental fatigue.
