The genius behind Yeezus' song doesn't stop there, it is part of a triumvirate of educational songs surrounding the album "graduation", with each part conspicuously stating how Ye came into this world. In this way, Good Morning is a confronting autobiographical cinematic masterpiece, ahead of its time - an international monument.
Finally, we rope this discussion back to the optically attracting animation. Had this jewel been constituted by the best studio of all time, MADHOUSE, truly, nothing would ever, past, present or future, top Good Morning, not even another Ye song. OLM is still able to entertain and engage viewers from the very beginning of the video, utilising an artillery of facial expressions to provoke intellectual thoughts, disorienting viewers and invoking questions like, why is the bear sad? Why is the bear confused? The specific contrasting colour palette exploited draws immediate salience, then via astute vectoring, we are drawn to the bear's chains, noticing a strong parallel to Ye's own collection.

One could argue that the Bear's day is possibly worse than historic crisis' alike, his lambo broke down, he lost his jacket and well, he is eaten by clouds (alluding to another analogy to the famous Dragon Ball's Nimbus Cloud, dating back even to the 1600s of an old tale). But, like all Ye songs, the bear bounces back. Good Morning isn't narratively distinguished because its depressing but because the persona embodies resilience, an under-used quality located in the anime verse. Surely... you are convinced to spend 3 minutes of your time to not only bask in Ye's greatness but to witness it materialised through an animated medium. After all, "Good Morning" is the pinnacle of anime, stands at the acme of animation, the capstone of authenticity and is the optimum piece of fiction.
An odyssey grounded in introspection but nuanced with layered questioning of "what moulds the human condition?"
