What seems to be a wacky comedy at first, becomes deep and serious after the prologue, dealing with heavy topics such as overworking to death, family issues, abandonment and depression. I think most viewers will shed a tear or two by the end. Even still, you really never know if this short film is taking itself seriously, because the scenes changes from telling stupid jokes to drama or boring work meetings, and straight-up sad problems. It's an interesting critique of a salary-man's life in Japan. It probably still holds true to this day. Animation and art were decent, nothing to write about, really. Still, the fewseconds of fight scenes were surprisingly well animated.

Pacing can be quite slow for today's standards, so I recommend watching shows from this era at 1.25 or 1.5x speed if that bothers you.
