    aw, the line "We all heard you" was so touching and beautiful. a hint of empathy that reminds you ghosts are just people with unfinished business.

    I can imagine the series now: those in the afterlife unsatisfied with a disgraceful death come back to the realm of the living in order to attempt to complete their final dreams/wishes. Unfortunately due to their weak grip on reality, they end up doing more harm then good; all this opera singer wanted was to perform for crowds of thousands, catching thrown roses and basking in the love and attention. Her ghostly form possesses humans and creates ushers out of thin air, ones she once dreamed of leading the wealthy to her sold out operas.

    I like how the ending shows the now old opera singer on her deathbed (apparently now dying peacefully) while someone played the music box of the song she always sing in her young opera singer days and maybe her wish was something like she hopes to sing on the stage with a bunch of enthusiastic audience like she used to do when shes young one last time. And maybe her wish is the reason why the phantom manifested in a form of her giant ghostly young self singing in theater clad in her signature dress ;v; (also the fact that brio comforted her by saying "we all heard you" really made her accept her death peacefully by taking her final bow qwq)

    Love it~ It was tragic but beautiful. Specially when the opera singer turned to the empty seats after Brio said "We all heard you" At the beginning one might suspect that she only said it in a sense to express they were done with her way of forcing people to listen and praise her, but after reading the comments section and how people have come out with this complex plot for a 5 min animation, it's completely the opposite. In the end; if the plot is to be true depending if you accept it or not; the opera singer dies happily after having her wish to be listened and watched by a crowd become true. Said crowd being US, the viewer behind the screen, she turned to watch us and she was more than thankful to repay such kindness by putting Brio down. We watched her, willingly, without her having to force us and we loved it. This is only but my interpretation but if you think it this way, makes it even more beautiful than already is Simply magnificent

    The patterns shifting with movement on Brios skin and drusillas clothes remind me heavily of the count of monte cristo anime as well as the mononoke anime. Such wonderful interpretations of art. It’s is nice to see it hear as well with the love letters to a bygone world just as monogatari referenced bygone Japan and the count referenced a story of a bygone old france mingling with the story of a futuristic earth. Perhaps I am too used to smooth easily palatable art so the first viewing was jarring but I still could see the talent it took to create something like this. I found myself rewatching to catch little things like the different pieces of brios tattoos or the shifting color schemes whenever the singer was the focus. Well done.

    The way this uses dialogue is really cool because it manages to preserve a mysterious and kindof haunting mood that is most often achieved without any dialogue at all. The music, sound effects, or moments of silence still felt heavy and otherworldly, and when there was dialogue, it built up the characters and their relationship so beautifully. And fusing the opera with different genres/more modern instruments??? Depending on the environment, action, and characters?????? Thats so cool!! And obviously the visuals are fantastic. Color pallette, lighting especially!! Cool composition and smooth motion!!! Character design!!! The singer is really beautiful and i love that i didnt realize i got attached until the job was done.

    The retired old opera singer is asleep and her subconscious is experiencing a dream, a nightmare of sorts where her yearning to be center stage again is taking over her subconscious world and she channels her anger at the world via her singing that engulfs everything; the two "hunter" girls are "projections" like in Inception, modeled after her two caregivers who come in and end that nightmare, mostly as it was time to wake up and take her medication; one of them gently plays the music box afterwards so that she could gently sleep.

    @@nimloc1670 So… You're telling an artist to recreate something not only creative, but also _unique_ on top of that? Do you know how much pressure that puts on them? Not to mention, "creative" people exist whether you see them or not. Most artists don't sell their work, or only sell a portion of it, therefore it's not publicly available, it's not accessible to you, etc. I don't think there should be a market for art at all, but then again another "controversial" opinion of mine is that we should get our basic necessities met for free so we have time to create art or whatever we want to do, and it shouldn't be for sale, including for social capital. In my humble opinion, people should make what they want simply because they want to. It's been proven time and time again that healthy people thrive on intrinsic motivation rather than external motivation - just look at how kids are so eager to learn until they start getting grades (good or bad), or how people love doing something (such as making art) until they start getting paid for it and it becomes a job rather than a hobby they do just to do it. Am I saying artists shouldn't be compensated or whatever for their work? Obviously not, my ideal conditions unfortunately are not reality. I'm just saying it sucks that social media has gotten to the point where everything is noteworthy apparently, did anyone ask you about your fucking opinion about this person's art? Like this sort of unwarranted commenting is the exact same to me as grades or money, the second anyone says anything about how I look or what I'm wearing or whatever I immediately just want to stop existing right then and there. I wish everyone would just shut the fuck up, myself included, I'm not claiming to be a moral pariah or anything like that. Fun fact: accidentally had a freudian slip right then and typed "complaining" instead of "claiming". Hell is other people. With kind regards and much respect, go fuck yourself 💛

    Stimulating, creative and thought-provoking! The BEST Calart's short film I've seen in youtube thus far! Simply amazing. All I would say is that the conversations between characters are a little bit akward. I would suggest using more sound effects and more dynamic lines for the characters (some times I didn't pay attention to the characters because the music was very loud). But apart from that, the video is absolutely amazing.

    I finally got around to watching this after letting it sit on my watch later list for far too long. 1. I want so much more of these 2 hunters. Their banter doesn't sound forced or too in line with the joking banter we see in movies lately. It nicely gives us a feel for their personalities. 2. I love the sound quality and sound effects. It makes me feel nostalgic for some of the older stylised animated movies I watched long ago that had it. Love all of this, my only problem is that this got buried in my watch list that it took me so long to watch it.

    Okay if there’s anybody with an answer for this it would be here. What is the style called when animated objects/people have one still pattern behind them and when the object/person moves it just moves over the still pattern? For example at 3:20, her skin is just a floral pattern but it moves. The key on the opera singer also has this effect. I remember being super fascinated with that style ever since I first watched Chowder as a kid.

"Looks like our pay just got docked" whose paying them?!? Is there an organization that kills these monsters? I want to know MORE!! They both seem so casual, that must have done this many times before. And the end scene where the opera woman seems to be 'dead' implies she might have been a human before somehow?
