Robot Carnival -- Presence ( Part III )

Third part of Presence, an animated short of Robot Carnival Collection. I own no rights to it.

NOTE: This video comes from an imported Japanese DVD, hence the strange subtitles, and there is no English audio.

The man lived his life deprived of any real sense of emotion (e.g. never knew his mother, distant from his family, etc.) He lives in a society of humans and machines. When he creates the girl, he realizes that she's capable of feeling and he destroys her out of fear of developing any emotional attachment; this incident remains in his consciousness. In his old age, her spirit comes to accompany him to the next existence. I'm pretty sure there's more, but that's all I can fit in this box.

DEM EYEBROWS

[TheEnviousdominous]

Everything about this piece was stunning. What shook my soul the most was the background. The decayed remains of a once advanced society so casually, and thus mysteriously, ignored by what seems to be a 17th century English society which has managed to apply robotics to everyday trials. Blade Runner had a similair effect on me as I couldn't help wondering; what are all of the protagonists in this short film? Could they be machines that once served their creators.

I'm amazed how Umetsu directed this with alot of elements from life drawing and classic paintings

[RyuHayabusa06]

Damn shame the english dub isn't available on DVD.

[Fluffifullness]

I'm not gonna lie. I didn't see the meaning of this. Maybe it's the god awful subtitles. Thanks to mleliza3 for the explanation of the symbolism.

The is regret, industry is a big thing and to harm it or not bring advancement into being, then affects everyone; we see a loss of a new thing that was never brought into being. Japanese merges spirits, like catgirl, it really is a girl who has a cat; but once created the stories take a life of their own for the drama--do not harm the cat. Anyway, we see a loss of something, and we see regret.

The character designs and movement of the figures is really weird and off-putting. Intentionally?
