There is something about short anime, music video kind, that gets the best of me. I am a fan of simple, short and sweet and went you have the three combined you get the simple gems like Egao here. The narrative here is honestly something I don't think I captured as I should have. Apparently, there is supposed to be a boyfriend which I was confused about but running over it and it becomes obvious as to what was supposed to be presented. Anyways the execution of this was pretty good, for a music video, it does well in that space of time. They do tendto play with an emotion easily but Egao feels really smoothing rather than flamboyant for no good reason.

Came here for Shinkai audiovisual and I am telling you now if I am here a 3rd time then this is some good stuff for sure. I love the basic but captivating animation here accompanied by Hiromi Iwasaki's great singing skills. Genuinely fitting stuff for this music video.

I enjoyed this. And you probably will too. As said it is simple, short and sweet, what more do you want from a MV. I would recommend this to anyone too. Probably on the higher end of MV recs I would give to people. Shinkai has always been a manipulative one but I can't say that is a bad thing really. I quite like what he has made, and most others would agree with me.
