Rain Town · review
Strong directorial vision and truly unique visuals, but somehow ends up having a bit of a convoluted plot? As with most shorts, this is more of a mood piece than a narrative one. It's definitely a world that feels like it could be explored in more depth and brought to life in interesting ways. Unfortunately, Rain World decides to focus its short narrative around something which would take way more time than it has to build something meaningful out of. The incongruities kind of smother the impact of the story and its few moments of surprise (two, in total) don't really make up for that. It's stillcute and worth a watch to see something different in animation. The shots are extremely well composed and the world well-rendered.
