A man enjoys a drink over and over and over again, for eight seconds each time. At first, it seems like every drink is the same. But with every sip, something changes, making things a little more intriguing each time. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I'm writing this so at least there is a review for this movie. There isn't really much to say about it because it was so short. Overall it was okay and really weird. The background music was good for what it was and did a fine job. It was just really weird to be honest and very confusing. If want to go, "What the hell did I just watch." then this would be perfect for you.
This did what Neon Genesis Evangelion couldn't do in a TV series, a 2 movie recap a 2 movie ending, and a 4 part movie retelling. In a mere 5 minutes this masterpiece show how the entropy in our minds is an endless cycle much like the endless cycle of destruction and recreation that is life an death. First a man drinks from a mug in silence but as he repeats this day after day he is thrown into despair at the useless monotony of his life. this represents the human condition, we are born, we live, and finally we die. As he realizes thisthe music builds as he falls deeper into insanity. Eventually, he realizes the uselessness of it all and sips his coffee content, neither caring nor worrying about the world around him. He is enlighten. I place this up there with other great works such as Eva, Serial Experiments Lain, and Cory in the House as one of the most cerebral and deep anime's of all time .
I regret it. I completely wasted 5 minutes to watch something that didn't even make sense. I'm not even sure what it was about. A film that was supposedly 8 seconds long that keeps looping. The artwork was not only terrible, but the music was also horrible too. To be honest, I'm not even sure exactly why I wasted my time on something like this, or why I watched something like this to the end. I would not recommend this to anyone unless they enjoy wasting time watching things that aren't even worth it, so unless you are someone like that, don't watch this.
The artwork is sweet. The concept is simple. And by the end I forgot how it started. As it is only 5 minutes long, I would recommend watching it for the sake of seeing it. If it was several episodes, then I dunno. Overall: Pretty cool.
Life is a monotonous loop of the same routine only to be temporarily suspended by our creative desires. In this five minute short the essence of creativity is explored as a man spends each day doing the same activity until his mind simply won't allow him to anymore. Despite being made on the cheap with only a single person working on the project, the animation is still well executed and gets better as the film goes along. Repeating the same music track over and over again with a subtle changes as time goes on was a creative touch as well. The reception for this short is poorfor one very simple reason - the quality of art is up to the eye of the beholder. It is difficult to relate to a work you do not understand the metaphorical value of, and I'd wager that few related their own life routines to a guy drinking tea every day with a bored face. This is obviously not for everyone, but it doesn't hurt to give five minutes of your time to see if you can relate to what this piece is trying to convey. If it speaks to you, this can be a very enjoyable experience for a low time commitment.
Well well well, here am I again reviewing a living masterpiece again - Story (9/10): What story might you ask? well it doesn't have to be a story to be specific, think about it, most of the viewers may say that the last 5 minute they saw some weird abstract animation and totally miss the catch behind it, but no, It had a deep meaning, oh yeah, one does not simply sip a cup of coffee, our Main character, while sipping slowly from that cup of coffee, was so amazed at how good it tasted, that his mind started working way more than an average human being,in other words, he understood the true meaning of the universe and existent itself. - Art (9/10): Why did I give it 9 you say? simple, It is unique and every way, The fast fluid change between the shades and colors was amazing, to say the least, the creativity and all those abstracts were fascinating, they were so fascinating actually that my brain couldn't process all of that a once. - Sound (7/10): I don't think it would fit in anything other than this specific short movie, I love how it kept its pacing with the visuals. - Character (8/10): There is no character but at the same time, there is, your perception would be different according to the way you're looking at the presented story, for once, the character would look very vague, just a gentleman sipping from a cup of coffee, but what if that gentleman was you? Your inner self. - Enjoyment (8.5/10): I, for the most part, enjoy stories that have hidden meanings, stories that have under the blanket more than a typical user can get a grasp on, it's not for everyone, but if you do have the intellectual capacity to understand it, that is a great boost of ego on itself. - Overall (8.3/10): This 5 min of animation would get an 8 from me, I totally didn't waste my time watching it, or did I? no really, I liked it for the masterpiece it is, Wait? what am I doing with my life? oh, an even better question, why are you reading this review? long story, short, I would recommend this to the more mature type of watcher, one that isn't just about the action, fan service, or animation, but one who wants something deep and exciting. have we stuck in an infinite loop ourselves? you never know, ....... or do you?!
*Watch with Headphones* This is Art. Do not expect an amazing story in a short amount of time. This is a visually pleasing 5 minute video that does not have one clear story. This is an episode of wonders and mysteries that I highly recommend watching. I thought it was very weird but that makes it so interesting. The music makes you actually feel something. I got very nervous forwhat was going to happen by the music alone. So it is 5 minutes and it will make you confused and this will make you THINK and thats why, I very much enjoyed it.
I found this anime in the "Dementia" genre and I got curious so i clicked it and tried to watch it. I intended to stop watching in the first 15 seconds because I got creeped out. But you know what they say, "Curiosity kills the cat." so I just went on.The art style and music was quite bad. But I still have to give credit for the effort. I guess it tries to convey something. Based on the artwork, it tries to tell us that too much coffee can cause hallucinations, isomnia and restlessness. I guess the creators were drinking too much coffee in orderto finish animating this. But overall, I enjoyed watching it quite a bit. It had scenes that were really colorful and then suddenly it went into a monotonous vibe and vice versa.
My kneejerk reaction to 00:08 was to call it abysmal drivel and be done with it. From my rating, it's clear I haven't completely changed my view - nothing really happens in this short and I don't see any sort of deep message like some reviewers did. However, there's a wide berth between a 4 and, say, giving it a 1 like I could have done, and I didn't just give 00:08 some credit because the art was nice or the sound was good. The reason I decided that 00:08 needed to be given a little bit of recognition is that it was just weirdon a completely other level. The short is so non-objective and so out there that I felt like I was having a strange experience and showed the video to others in hopes of getting a similar reaction. This means, like it or not, 00:08 managed to make me feel something unique from other arthouse films, and for that I have to say that it was a success in some way.
A warning on the note I gave, I have actually no idea on how to actually note this because it has no real story or no deep meaning I can actually think of: if everything has to be of form and content, this one is a pure form. I'm not in the field of music or animation, english isn't even my first langage but I was sad that this short movie was lacking a more in depth review so here I give mine. Music and animation blends greatly together with the same initial thinking as how the same initial 8s melody/animation can goes over andover again while changing at same time. In the music and animation it's hard to know what came first and what came second but I'll actually divide it in 3 part (it's my own division and you may do more or less than this): First the original melody and animation are very close to a 8s loop I can see the influence of Yoji Kuri and Yamamura Koji work: minimalists variations in term of sound and animation giving a strange loneliness vibe. Also I feel like the 8s second scene was at first 8 different scenes that were put together from the 8 people credited at the end. Second a faster part sounding a little like Akira Fukube's Ostinata Ritmica introducing color is the heart of the animation and I'm not an expert so I don't know the name of what I saw relying mainly on perspectives like Mind Game (the scene of the running blue man can be find almost at the identical in the two). Last part really dissonant (close to Krzysztof Penderecki works) let me dumbfounded: the drinking character wasn't here anymore and everything was chaotic unrestrained by the colour, the form, the logic. In the end it's not really for everyone but if you want something original or if you want to work on the animation in the future it's a great finding (you can also check the reference I made here).
Many don't like this animation, which is understandable - but this is art in its purest, subjective form. Some like it, some don't - it's all up to you I personally enjoyed it as I am an artist myself. The traditional-esque animation style was refreshing to see. The transitions remind me of Gerald Scarfe's work and the music added to the atmosphere. In my opinion, there's no story to this. Giving it an extremely deep analysis would make it lose its simplicity. Art - as I've mentioned before, it was good. I cannot categorize the genre of music, but it is most definitely classical music which I enjoyed. Character -regarding my comments on the story, I'd say the same thing applies to the character. There is no story, therefore there is no character. Overall, it's dementia. Weird. Abstract. Experimental. And I would recommend it, especially if you're in some field of the arts.
0:08 is repetitive, it has good animation but wouldn't recommend ever watching it. In terms of story, there is none. He just d r i n k s there are also no characters per se, just the same scene. If you think the Endless Eight arc from Haruhi Suzumiya was bad, here is a whole anime which is just that. This one was better than that arc though, it was satisfying at points. This is basically the most mediocre show I have seen in awhile. _____ ________ __________ _________ ______________ ___________ ______TLDR; boring mediocre but with good animation and aight sound design
It's basically a person sipping from a cup, which later turns into a series of surreal drawings. Frankly, the "sipping from a cup" part goes on way too long. That being said, the artist is clearly talented. The artwork is impressive enough to warrant a watch, especially given it's only a 5-minute short, but don't expect to be blown away. There's also music, but it alternates between being bland and being annoying. If there was some underlying message, it was conveyed too pretentiously for me to notice, but I'm pretty sure it was just a way for the artist to flex their talent.
Honestly there's nothing much to talk about it, but one noticeable thing is that its animation is even smoother than most of the hentai anime. At first, it seems that a man is leisurely enjoying his cup of tea, but there's way more much than that. 5:19 is the actual length of this movie, but in this time, so much happened that it would even put One Piece to shame. However one cannot remove out the argument that something is definitely mixed in his tea. It might be Ruffies, so do not do drugs kids, its bad for health. At last, I would like to say its agood learning experience to watch such a surreal animation. The artists surely would have enjoyed creating this work.
Call me crazy, but I actually enjoyed this to an extent. The style and animation were very old school, which I love and the video, although slightly weird and confusing, is actually very simple once you stop looking at its weirdness. It's amazing how intense this was with just acoustic music and some abstract animation. So, what's the point of this video? In the 8 seconds it takes the female to pick up her cup, take a sip, and sit it back down, there's a lot going on around her. Why? Because the story is not about passing time, it's about how time, even seconds, isluxurious.
A man sits alone in an empty room. There is a cup of coffee in front of him which he languidly reaches for and raises to his mouth. He takes a sip before placing it back down on its saucer. This short series of quotidian actions take place in a mere eight seconds and repeat... Or so it seems at least, as it is not long before this cycle is interrupted. This seemingly everyday event is the basis for the animated short '00:08' directed by Yutaro Kubo. It is, in my opinion, a reflection on absurdist philosophy, portraying, in particular, the absurdity of everyday life.While it may not be everyone's cup of coffee, if you have not already seen the short then I strongly recommend you do as not only will my interpretation make more sense, but if you do dislike it you'll at least witness some of the best independent animation in recent years. Absurdism, in regards to philosophy, is a school of thought which promotes the belief in an irrational, incomprehensible and chaotic universe. There is no inherent meaning and the universe is indifferent to our suffering as well as our futile search for purpose. While that may sound bleak, absurdism, unlike nihilism offers an alternative: to 'rebel'. Albert Camus, the most notable proponent of absurdism, believed that individuals should embrace the absurdity of existence while also searching for their own meaning in the universe. It is the search which may create purpose in of itself and the construction of our own meaning which separates absurdism from its similar branches of philosophy. Eventually, after the plodding tone and meandering camera movements of the initial eight seconds and its repetitions, the cycle begins to deviate. Adding together the effects of the looping, the music and the art create an uneasy atmosphere rife with suspense. We tune into the style and pacing of the short and it becomes an entrancing experience. With no dialogue, it relies solely on metaphors conveyed through animation. Distortion starts and the man comes to acknowledge the absurd futility of his life and is thrown into incertitude, reflected by the deformation of the cup. Superficially undeterred, he continues the cycle. However, cracks in his routine begin to show with the morphing of the cup occurring more regularly. At points it expands, contracts and even momentarily disappears — symbolising his wavering mental state. Continuing on, strange creatures appear, seeming to fabricate from the man and his mug only to dissipate into thin air shortly after. Suddenly, with the introduction of colour, he implodes in a goldish hue marking the beginning of his 'existential crisis'. This concept of an everyday existential crisis is not uncommon in absurdist thought. Questioning the foundations of one's life can arise from anything; menial tasks, habits, chores, labour, reading, excursions, studying, nights out, and so on. In this case, it arose from the simple act of enjoying a hot beverage. Camus himself commented on the absurdity of the day-to-day activity of the average person, in his essay The Myth of Sisyphus: "Rising, streetcar, four hours in the office or the factory, meal, streetcar, four hours of work, meal, sleep, and Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturday according to the same rhythm — this path is easily followed most of the time. But one day the "why" arises and everything begins in that weariness tinged with amazement.” While the routine described is perhaps dated in modern society, the point still stands. Especially the last sentence, holding the most pertinence to 00:08. The "why" emerged for the man; halting the rhythm of his life. We know nothing of the man's life; his job, hobbies, sorrows, disinclinations, idiosyncrasies and relationships are all a mystery to us. We cannot make assertions on his day to day life but it is clear he strayed from its path. Yet it is not the end, for everything appears in a newfound clarity, or maybe better put obscurity, "tinged with amazement". This is shown visually of course, and what proceeds can best be described as an unfettered release of the man's inner self. Images morph into completely other images with no apparent relation to one another. His thoughts hop from one thing to another in rapid succession. Objects unfold and transform quickly yet seamlessly, resulting in a stream of consciousness that even James Joyce would be proud of. This Joycean aspect is more than subtle and extends further than just the stream of consciousness. 00:08 is technically eclectic, employing multiple technical shifts as a form of thematic development. Going from leisurely and plodding to chaotic and erratic by means of art style and animation technique. It utilises several artistic styles from surrealism to cubism, expressionism to impressionism, modernism to fauvism and so forth. In addition, the constant morphing of images usually resulting from the previous image was entirely done through hand drawn animation on paper — as goes for Kubo's whole body of work. This wide range of art movements and maddeningly tedious animation technique exhibits the absurdity of the massive amounts of ideas and conflicting worldviews in life. There is no inherent meaning to our existence and even if there was, the sheer amount of contradicting information renders an objective conclusion unattainable. As I mentioned earlier, we are left in total darkness in regards to the man's life. We know nothing about him as an actual person. It could be argued that this enigmatic portrayal is an unfavourable element of the short as our protagonist lacks depth and/or shows no sign of ''character development'', but I disagree. Creating the man like this was done intentionally and renders him as a blank canvas for the viewer to project onto. Even his design reflects this, being inoffensively generic and minimalistic. We can see ourselves in him and empathise with his philosophical plight. Even encouraging us to analyse and reflect upon our own life and our perceived meaning of it. Resuming where we left off, entropy has begun to take over with the images presented becoming increasingly vibrant and abstract. As the flow of animation quickens, the images blur from each frame and transition into the next. Along with this, the music, which has been relatively tame thus far begins to diverge. Transitioning from orchestral with an occasional blow of a trumpet and bang of a drum to something more avant-garde — mirroring the direction the animation has taken. It becomes increasingly minimal, with repeating chords and drones reminiscent of the works of Steve Reich and Philip Glass. The minimalist music of this latter section may at first seem at odds with the absurdist themes and notions, however, the repetitive melodic patterns which gradually change demonstrate the mental metamorphosis the man has undergone. Moreover, aesthetically, minimalist music is marked as lacking narrative and having "little sense of goal-directed motion", making it perfect for 00:08. As pandemonium takes complete control, the music swells to a peak. Becoming evanescent, it is overpowered and gradually drowned out by the abrasive sounds of free jazz which are directly representational of the current mental state of the man. While colour and plentiful use of it becomes more present, structure is abandoned altogether with the occasional flashbacks to the man and his coffee now nowhere to be seen. This lack of cohesive structure allows for the film to not only be open to interpretation but also to be interpreted itself. The structure, or lack thereof, shows us that intrinsic meaning is most likely non-existent and therefore unreachable. The man's startling realisation of this fact and initially of the Absurd caused this whole period of contemplation. According to Camus, there are three key choices in absurdist philosophy that an individual can make upon their realisation: either adopt a faith or deity, commit suicide or accept the absurd. The first, despite being rejected by Camus who called it "philosophical suicide", was embraced by Danish philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard. Kierkegaard was around long before Camus and, while mainly he is considered an existentialist (the first existentialist, in fact), had similar writings on the absurd. However, unlike Camus, he was religious and viewed the belief in a God (to him the Christian God) to be a "leap of faith" as one must simultaneously acknowledge the absurdity of their existence while maintaining their faith. The second option, while sounding tremendously depressing and discouraging, may be the most logical and valid option. If there is no meaning, isn't it better just to give up? No, maintained Camus saying "suicide is the rejection of freedom". And finally the last option, albeit the hardest, is to simply accept the Absurd. Obviously endorsed by Camus and most absurdists, is to live in spite of the dire knowledge of the meaninglessness of life. Which of these options the man chooses is left intentionally ambiguous. Nevertheless, I feel we are given some indication in the last eight seconds (coincidence?). The music abruptly ceases and we are returned to the distantly familiar sight of the man with his head in one hand and coffee mug in the other. With deliberation, he lowers his cup onto its saucer which sounds an exceedingly satisfying "tink". While this ephemeral sound may seem trivial, I see it as deeply significant. The man, upon completing his catharsis, is awoken from his lassitude and now has a reformed outlook on the world and his life. It becomes like a twisted reverie resulting in a state of content for the man. He has become the 'Absurd Hero' because he is able to recognize the absurdity of the human condition, abandon all of his hope, yet find happiness in material reality, and ultimately find meaning in the struggle. As the camera moves for the final time, we peer down into the contents of his mug to see a black void. A black void full of possibility.

Review of an artistic short animation. This one shows the not so average way of drinking coffee (or tea or whatever). If I should describe how I feel after watching this, I feel intrigued. There was really something quite interesting about this but I think that it needed a better execution or rather a more straightforward goal/meaning, not that I mind that it was a mindfuck but I have a problem with art which doesn´t really tribute with anything besides being plain confusing, luckily this doesn´t seem pointless, it has somewhat a purpose whatever that is :) So yeah to put it shortly, it is a very weirdshort artistic piece, not your average anime, it can be interpreted in several ways, and some people will like it, some won´t and that is okay. I must point out that the sound effect/the music was on point, it really gave something this one.
This short 5 minute video is probably one of my favorite shorts ive seen. The sound design and music intertwine so well with the visuals giving you a sense of interest but also anxiety. Each time the character sips his coffee something changes. Anyone who has a few minutes to spare should watch this and admire how well done the art and sound is made. story: 6/10 There isnt much of a story to follow. all the watcher knows is that someone takes 8 seconds tosip their coffee.Though it may not have a deep and interesting story its still so intriguing to watch because of the mundanetask being made so abstract and strange. art: 10/10 The animation is beautiful. It threw me off at first how the character looked but the more i watched the more i realised how important the artstyle is in trying to invoke emotions from you. sound: 10/10 The music in this animation is nothing short of amazing. The way it fits so well with the changes in the visuals is amazing. When music is well done you dont realise it until you focus on just the audio, and in this short i have no complaints with the sound design. WARNING: This animation has quickly changing colors do not watch if prone to epileptic seizures. Some warning signs of possible seizures may include: Odd feelings, often indescribable. Unusual smells, tastes, or feelings. Unusual experiences – "out-of-body" sensations; feeling detached; body looks or feels different; situations or people look unexpectedly familiar or strange. (ó﹏ò｡) pls be careful
Rate a 5 No spoken audio or subtitle art film Story Fairly simple. Although without specifics it is unclear to what the pathway or message is. My take was attention span. About 7 to 8 seconds is what average person has. After that time they find themselves focused on either other things or imagination. Through prolonging the same task the likely hood of attention drifting occurs. If it occurs for too long one will lose it. A true statement about pressure and everyday function. Art -color could have been filled better. -images could have been less random to better illustrate the underlining message. -perhaps a day calendar on the desk could have usedto avoid confusion of looping. Sound - while the sound did add a powerful impact to the story the audio split from left to right side; plus the increase/decrease in sound was bothersome.
