This is a short film about a girl who has trouble making friends and her relationship with a sentient chair. It captures the feeling of childhood, growing up, and the magic of animation. It's directed and animated by a young team who also recently worked on the short filmHinata no Aoshigure.
Background:
noitaminA is an anime block on FujiTV which has been running shows which tend to appeal to older female demographics and character driven works like Honey and Clover, Nodame Cantabile, etc. Today they had the annual conference announcing new works and also celebrating the 10th anniversary of the block. This short film was produced as part of the anniversary celebration. It does a pretty good job of capturing the tone of what noitaminA was known for historically, and it's rather bittersweet because of late the block has moved somewhat away from stuff like this, attempting more mainstream and otaku driven stuff which is pretty lame.
