Before You Go Extinct
きみの絶滅する前に
Synopsis
Darkly comic tale of two souls reincarnated as animals learning love and meaning before extinction.
A darkly comic look at the meaning and meaninglessness of life, through the eyes of various adorable and occasionally psychopathic species facing extinction. A humble rock is at the center of this transmigratory tale of two souls who take the form of penguins, otters, crows, and more as they learn about the the value of culture, the beauty of play in the face of capitalist pressure to produce and reproduce, and the power of love in the face of total annihilation.
