Interesting, but not entertaining

This production gave real "made by a film student" vibes from the sound quality, to the setting, to the story being told in essentially 1 minute snippets. And frankly, I think this would have been a lot more successful as a 15 minute short film.

The first half hour (episode 1) spans 1 year and 11 months of relationship, while the second half hour (episodes 2 and 3) spans a month of break up. It's an interesting way to tell the story of a whole relationship from beginning to end, but I can't say it was particularly entertaining. There's surprisingly little emotion shown by either character for the entirety of the series, and neither are really that likeable. It's very Japanese though.

If you're a media student, it's probably worth a watch but I can't really say is recommend it to the majority of people.
