Usawaltz


This is abstract and conceptual as any animation can get, and there's honestly nothing really disturbing in it to boot (I kinda felt that the aim of most of these animations is to get people to think by pushing disturbing visuals right into their faces, haha).

It is cute and charming, but other than that, I can't really understand what this has to do with the "josei" theme, what are these little rabbit creatures meant to represent, and why are all these creatures flowing peacefully through a black abyss? All that was said in her summary on youtube is: 

"In the black and white world with so many animals relaxing, there are small rabbits called 'usa' dancing in their world."

And don't bother, usa is pretty much a short version of usagi, the japanese word for rabbit. The closest thing I can think of is that it has something to do with fertility...  But really, while I couldn't understand this one or make any theories out of it, it really was a lovely piece of animation, and I suppose there's nothing wrong with that, right? Maybe it wasn't really meant to mean anything..
