This is is the closest I think 3D animation has ever come to achieving the sense of delirium and confusion that I can only refer to as ostentatious vertigo. This is the story of a fish who has legs and walks like a man, a story of a fever dream and the rending of flesh, of caviar and managers. To say that this was a strange viewing experience would be an understatement. I watched this in original Japanese, which is a language I can only partially understand. And given the bizarre subject matte, I think that that added to the experience. The animation resembles psychedelicPS1 cutscenes and is disconcerting to look at generally.
The story seems very basic, and from what I can tell, exists as a vehicle to explore a bizarre setting. There are only a few characters, and they are all terrifying to look at, especially the lipstick fish.
If you are a fan of less than normal 3d animations and absurdism, i can recommend this wholeheartedly.
The opening and ending songs are both enjoyable, and feature many ocean related lyrics.
Please take note, this animation is difficult to find.
