I do have to say, that this was the most respectful chain of comments on Youtube that I've seen. Cheerio! :D

[supermal112233]

I'm trying to say that just because its creative,it doesn't mean its good.Creativity is good,but i'm trying to say that this animation took it way way to far.The more creative works of arts get,the more harder it can be to send the message.Im sure the message wasn't how a couple would experience the apocalypse.The message is probably more deeper than that. Many people who watch this just think its a bunch of crazy rabbits in a apocalyptic world just because how this was created.Ive seen crazier.

Jesus christ! Just shut up, watch a damn video and find whatever meaning you want at all because it's better than paying more attention to the comments section.

Flashback!

Excellent! Especially how you combined 2D characters with real-life footage! :D

Disturbed?

Lovee

[Daniel Ruelle]

it's just a visual experience with a dark little plot. maybe you could find deep meaning in all the shit, but I doubt there is any. their nice day on the beach is ruined by a storm and leads to a couple days of running trying to survive.

[c0nqu3r3rlol]

This is a pretentious relay of pixels and audio that attempts to tell a story by retracing steps, but in the end it comes off with a 2deep4u vibe which is heavily reinforced by my fellow commenters telling everyone to "rewatch it to understand".

[FamilyFirstJ]

wow brilliant! they are not even human and they only take over the human form..and they created the apocalypse!

[Daniel Taylor]

holy fuck why is that beginning so sad???
