No character dialogue, unrelatable characters, thin plot Good animation and color palette with a decent soundtrack

Note: this review contains spoilers

This animation appears to star a young girl who's spent her entire childhood living at the Tokyo Disney Resort playing in the concrete and eating confections as her main source of food. The parent's choice to allow her to act this way leads her to meeting the main love interest - a hoodlum wearing a leather jacket - and after going down his 'log ride', she decides to marry him, has a child and subjects her child to the same haphazard hoodlum streetrat life her own mother allowed her to live by neglecting her. In the final moments of this animation it appears the MC's child died at some point as she is standing with a man who is presumably her husband, watching fireworks with a sorrowful expression on her face; such is the fate of a child who is raised on chocolate and fairy tales.

This animation had no character dialogue, and the main character appears to have grown up at the Tokyo Disney Resort which makes her extremely unrelatable to most audiences. Also the way she meets the main love interest makes no sense due to me simply asking "how did they get from bumping into each other to sitting beside each other on the log ride"? It also shows that she makes the same mistakes with her daughter as her mother did; tying her daughter's childhood to consumerism.

The amount of plot in this animation would be laughable if it were even tangible, however the animators appear to have not had any sort of plan laid out from the beginning. Also do not bother with this if you expect any semblance of character development; instead it's more of a slideshow of the woman's life where short moments of her life are presented with no context - likely meant to be inferred by the viewer. I had to watch this animation multiple times to even realize they were of the same woman.

That said, the art of this animation is quite well done with a good color palette and the background music suits the intended mood quite well.

Ending note: the last 20% of this animation isn't even animation and shouldn't be included for that reason.
