WHAT A STRONG BOND BETWEEN DOG AND HUMAN !!
So strong it left a burp!

No words.
I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons,
if you were you wouldn't be on MAL.

Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce.

Such a beautiful 16 secs video that I'm in loss of words and such subarashii-ness makes the anime not rateable ;o

=/ Was it really that bad to just give it a 1? I mean, it's not a freaking masterpiece to most eyes, but it's just a short animation.

Well, yes, it was strange, but it wasn't appalling IMO.

Yeah, I see no reason to give it a 1. MAL states 1 as "Appalling".

It's literally a 16 second animation (a pretty cool one mind you). I gave it a 5 because it's "average" for a couple second long animation.

Better than hayao miyazaki and satoshi kon combined, flawless, better animation than KyoAni, the seiyuus were perfect, almost feeling the dog and the man on my side, in just 16 seconds makes me laugh more than an anime of 728 chapters, beautiful story about the friendship of a man and a dog 100/10

It was breathtaking, bewildering. I have never experienced such a masterpiece in my life. No other piece of cinema has brought me to tears and filled me with such joy. My cold rock heart finally felt something after all this time when I thought I couldn't feel again. This anime will bring forth emotions you never would have thought you had. There may never be a anime greater then this, and if there is, I don't want to see it. Because petting a dog will always be the greatest anime in my heart.
