From the frame by frame style to the environment (the computers in the office scene, the TV, VCR at that apartment, the mobile phone and the way they talk about the internet). It gives me a nostalgic feeling. Almost as if I've seen this on TV back when I was little. P.S whats interesting is most of what the blind date describes himself more accurately applies to the bartender.

That is a very interesting thought, i like that idea

[@jinggu.]

he doesnt have color too😳

[@gelataheart9021]

That’s interesting. There also may be some evidence that may be true. I’m gonna list the possible evidence. 1. Colorless-The man has no natural skin color. As we see in this animation, everyone else has a skin color. Also, his walls and floor are are white/grey/black. 2. Beers- There is no way that the man has not killed himself drinking all those beers in one go. He would’ve died of alcohol poisoning that moment or WAY before. It depends on how long he’s been drinking. 3. Train- When the train hits the guy, the train keeps going, almost like nothing was hit in the first place. If a REAL person got hit, I bet they would have stopped at least. 4. Noises- The guy doesn’t have a proper voice. He makes small sounds, but he doesn’t say a single word during this entire animation. Everyone else has a voice, NOT including the office workers and train passengers. 5. Injuries- There is a scene where he hits the concrete ground hard and leaves a human-shaped hole but doesn’t seem hurt at first, just really drunk. Also, when he falls down those stairs and lands, he falls asleep almost like he wasn’t hurt at all. But with supporting evidence, there is arguing evidence. 1. Email- During the office scene, she did receive an email from someone. It could have been someone else, but she said it was from “him”. She was clearly talking to someone at least. 2. Train- The train did say “Out of Service” but I don’t know what that means for trains. Maybe, that there is no driver and it’s a runaway. But, I don’t know. 3. Emotions- It looks like that when she talking about this man, she’s genuinely happy about it and when he doesn’t arrive, she seems very mad. It doesn’t seem like she’s faking her emotions to make him seem real. Tell me if I missed anything and I’ll add it. List your evidence as arguing or supporting so I know.

Commenting is letting people know what you have acknowledged about the content you just watched. Stating out opinions ,suggestions and discussions. If you were looking forward to talk about something, it is here, the section where spoilers will most definitely appear. If you are watching a video, and you read comment section at the same time.

[@obinator3486]

No, see, that's the thing. 3d animation is much cheaper in production, easier in workfliw management and less reliant on individual artistic merit of the animatiors. That really is the entire reason why commercial animation has gone almost entirely 3d. Which is a shame, because I doubt it can ever be quite as disarmingly charming as this.

It's no use wanting to look forward to a relationship in which you don't even know the person well. You barely know the person, and time passes, the clock ticks, and you get anxious. Waiting, waiting, and where is this person? Where is he when I need him most? And when you realize it, you're nervous about something you've put yourself into, and when you relax and realize there are other things around you, there's life more interesting than that. It's not always meant to be, but sometimes, some things are just meant to exist.

God this truly is what dating in your late 20s is like. Everyone’s already married, the only single guys look and act like…that…it’s a mess. Except no happy ending with a handsome English bartender 😮‍💨 Last night I was invited out for dinner and as I was putting on my makeup I paused and thought, why am I even bothering? Sure enough, the guy showed up in a raggedy t shirt and shorts, like what you would wear around the house for comfort. He even said he always sees high class women with these raggedy dudes, and that I’m too cosmopolitan for people in this city. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Idk what I’m supposed to do with that information.

See, people. THAT right there is REAL, TRADITIONAL animation. Instead of just making it a flash or a cardboard cutout, they actually went for a PERFECT form of movement. Sorta like animation from the 90's, & sort of an old school Disney cel animation. I'm just like "Wow! It's been a LONG damn time since I've seen brilliant animation like this & that was from Disney's Princess & The Frog & that was like 5 years ago back in 2010! Since then every animation is either Flash or CGI, which to me today is just BORING." THIS animated short is NOT boring. It's just SPECTACULAR traditional animation at it's finest, & seeing as this is either a British or France made film, that is amazing. Whoever was involved in this with the animation of this deserves an friggin' Oscar. Bloody well done!
