I discovered "Anemone" by pure chance, while browsing a database of anime reviews, focusing on the short ones to watch.

"Anemone" is a glimpse into the life of Ai, young woman, who is first seen wandering in a colorless world of bizarre metal constructions. That world is upside-down as well. Later she meets an anthropomorphic rabbit in suit and top hat who transports her, like in Alice in Wonderland, to a different scene. The scene turns out to be her childhood home.

This anime short is a visually stunning and very wise, no-dialogue commentary on losing and regaining hope, the force of memories and what keeps us going. I recommend it to everyone.

Although the episodes and the series aren't very long, this is a really cute & entertaining anime. I really like how there's a humorous story about the daily life of ancient Egyptian deities, with a touch of modernity. The characters have really memorable personalities, everyone has their distinct behaviors etc. The animation style of the gods & goddesses is a bit abstract/simple but containing the "essence" of each one.

I'd recommend it to everyone who likes ancient Egypt theme, short comedy or slice-of-life genre.

I watched this after reading a short announcement of it in a magazine about manga & anime and it's really good that I found it.

I discovered this beautiful short by accident. I'm very glad I watched it, being a fan of Carroll's writings and gradually learning more about his life.

It's a well-done, carefully produced miniature portrait of a man whom we mostly know as the author of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass". Although this short movie has references to the creation of it, they're not the ones that the public is used to (such as the memorable boat ride). Instead we get an intimate background of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who was also an Oxford Mathematics lecturer, photographer, a deacon and a writer of extensive diaries. Almost all quotes in this movie are actual quotes from Dodgson himself, his diaries. It adds to the realism, as much as the meticulously recreated rooms and other places fitting for the views he had seen himself. Although it wasn't filmed in Oxford, it still shows an aura of the place where he lived and which was so important in his career.

I recommend this to anyone who wants to see how the real Lewis Carroll has been like. It's much better than the other existing productions about him - not using any false and unrealistic theories, instead using the true, historical evidence, to produce a vision of certain moments from his life. It's definitely a must-see for every Carrollian. I suppose even everyone else interested in the Victorian Era, writers or simply looking for good shorts will enjoy this a lot.
