A bit weird trying to classify this, I guess it's anime but it's more-so an anthology of short animated music videos based on each song off of Hikaru Utada's album "Exodus." I think a separate review can be made on the musical and lyrical nature of each music video as they are kind of interesting in their own right and focus on topics of "east and west" and relationships and what not, but this isn't rym lol. The visual direction really stands out though. Seems like a variety of heavy-weight animators and directors were brought on board and it shows. Each piece has distinct animationand visual style with some in a more "conventional" anime look, some that go full wacko-cgi, and some in-between, most of which showing a highly individualized directorial approach.
They're all up on YT, I would highly recommend giving this a shot, even if weird animated music videos collections aren't your thing. The total run-time is less than 15 min, with each piece having a strong degree of replay-ability. This is a type of thing I wish there were more of
Some of my favorites include: Animato, Crossover, Let me Give You My Love
