Fumikiri Jikan documents the discussions that take place at these locations. Whether these are funny or depressing, expected or completely unexpected, they certainly have the potential to be quite interesting.

Fumikiri Jikan feels and looks like something that's made out of a passion project with said unknown studio and all the things that you could ever have with a decent production. With that said, this is the best 3 mins short in the season, the others are all trash, Tachibanakan Triangle is pure yuri but mediocre, and the "I don't know whose freaking idea to turn this into an anime" Alice or Alice, a tragic disaster of a lolicon. With that said, there's no story here, since all of the stories are presented in an omnibus format, it means that every episode is its very own story,but with the same setting around the railroad crossing. It's good, but there are others better out there.
The art and animation is surprisingly good, considering that the people behind this have the will to present something out of motivation, and it's not the half-ass deal-breaker.
The music is minimal with just the OP, and I can see why: the stories are given much context and screentime, that the focus reigns on the different characters that come into play, and probably some sprinkles onto certain scenes and such.
In the end, this is a good short to invest your time with, and it takes only a half hour to complete everything in a sitting.

There isn't much to say, it's a short anime that doesn't want to give an awesome story or something, it does what it says, it entertains you for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds per episode. The stories are pleasant, maybe they won't make you laugh out loud but, sometimes, they can make you giggle, and the animations don't suck, they're good. The music is okay, it isn't great in my opinion. Would I recommend it? Yeah, it's a little entertainment, actually it would be great to watch it while you wait in front of a rail crossing lol So, do you want to chill outat night under the blankets? It's recommended as much as a slice of life anime, but don't expect a masterpiece, it does its job, and it does it well.

Fumkiri Jikan is at best similar to Tsuredure Children in many respects... As in Fumkiri Jikan centers on a certain train crossing and all the characters waiting for the train to pass go about their daily lives, be it romantic or a chance encounter Fumikiri Jikan takes advantage of a seemingly mundane place to something of a place of great to crazy character interactions. Fuikiri Jikan DOES have some fanservicey episodes, especially when it involved Mashima Eriko, Tanishi for some butt shots with some yuri baiting with Ai and Tomo, but it's by the by tame in comparison for the most part. Now certain characters do actually getmore episodes and it's not just one-shot characters every episodes, from the aforementioned Ai and Tomo getting bookends of the anime about their "friendship" to the texting siblings Misaki and Takashi getting a couple of episodes to themselves. LA kinda gets the point that the majority of the characters are one off characters with their own quirkiness about them but Fumikiri Jikan ALSO brings up the entire notion of the "chance encounter" and that you cannot meet the same person twice in the same place in place as well, it IS a train crossing so it makes much more sense that more students and working men and women would cross it more than the more eccentric one-shot characters shown in Fumikiri Jikan.
The animation done by EKACHI EPILKA and this is EKACHI EPILKA's first venture into animation and they did pretty well even for a short, from the typical character designs to background work The voice acting on the other hand was quite good, from Sayaka Senbongi and Yui Ogura as Ai and Tomo to Yukari Tamura and *ahem* NORIO WAKAMOTO in one episode. The voice cast is a good mix of veterans and new voice actors but LA quite enjoyed the voice cast with Sayaka Senbongi being LA's favourite voice actor for this anime short with Suzuna Kinoshita as Misaki as the second best in LA's opinion.
Fumikiri Jikan was the quite pleasant anime short revolving around the daily commute of the people surrounding a train crossing and LA says this about almost every good anime short but it won't take much of your time to watch them all. With the daily commute, lots of different be it romantic or wacky interactions abound and Fumikiri Jikan capitalizes and for the most part executes it well enough.

Fumikiri Jikan is a great way to spend three minutes. There isn't much to say besides the fact that the anime knows how to use up it's time. The problem with shorts often is not the length itself, but what happens within that timeframe. Some shorts have the gall to not only include an opening, but an ending as well, cutting into the content (mainly because there really is no content). Fumikihi Jikan allows itself to use almost all of it's runtime, with an opening that lasts no more than 24 seconds (at least for the one episode where I actually checked). This means thatthe three minute short is actually a three minute short.
Now, even if the anime only gave us a minute for content, nobody is going to want to waste time if it's shit. But, every episode is gold in its own way. The meat of the anime ends up being interactions between different characters as they wait for a train to pass at a railroad crossing. Each episode is a vignette, all taking place at the same spot. The difference being not the setting, or the factor that sets them up to interact, but the characters themselves. And it's entertaining interaction between various characters that serves as the selling point for this anime. Little 'slice-of-life' scenes are done masterfully. It may be the brevity or the casual everyday randomness that prevades the conversations, but it's hard for me to find any fauly with the writing. It all feels very natural, pulling you along with the rhythm of the scenes until they end. There is no ending theme (credits play during the 'opening) so when the scene is over, the anime is over. And it usually ends once you just started feeling like you got to know the characters. I think it takes some smarts to be able to put in so much genuine feeling into characters whom we really can only see in one spot, at one time. There's certainly more feeling in these conversations than we sometimes see in full-length series, which often meanders around, and away from, anything interesting. But, perhaps it's so short that there isn't a ton of room for them to screw up. The focus, for this anime, is the conversations themselves. They unfold and become the narrative, where other anime only use interactions to set up for a certain result. Of course being written this way also allows for a quick and immediate emotional attachment, so when the writing becomes sentimental and wistful, it doesn't feel tacked on or contrived. In any case, Fumikiri Jikan is probably the best short this season, it's funny and a great way to spend the time it takes to complete.
Also, I think the voice acting deserves special mention. All of the voice work is done very well, which it needs to for a dialogue-driven short. There's plenty of newbie actors in here, so it may be interesting for people who are into that, as well.
Rail road crossings may not be very 'poetic,' as one of our characters points without realizing the irony because the anime she's in. Oh, and they stink too, so you may not want to confess while in front of one(or maybe you do). However, as we see here, crossings can serve as a starting point for some good fun, and maybe a lesson or two in social interaction.

I love shorts, I love the concept itself – interactions between people on a railway crossing is a very fine setting for such comedic slice-of-life pieces. More than that, Crossing Time opens with pretty much the perfect execution of the idea – witty and well-timed romcom skit between two girls. Whether you like yuri or not, it's just cute, wholesome and decently funny. Sadly, the rest of the series is extremely hit-and-miss. There are some really nice skits, like the text-message bickering between two siblings, and extremely bad ones, like a guy just creeping on a girl he considers sexy, with no punchline to it. Ifthe producers did a better job at choosing which scenes from the manga to adapt, it could've been rather excellent for a short-form anime, as the production quality is pretty ok for what it is and like I've said before, the concept itself is absolutely fine. As it is now, I can only half-recommend it – just watch the good parts and skip the episodes that sound creepy or got bad ratings from people. When it's nice it's really, really nice, but when it's not, it's also REALLY not.

In a world that is so obsessed with creating a perfect story and extending things as far as they can go to stumble upon something so charming, short and quaint is a blessing. Honestly given the duration of this show there's not much to it in terms of a full story, its just characters going about their life and waiting at a railroad crossing. Yet, somehow, this show is entertaining from the first to the last second, vividly offering a small glimpse into something we never really give any thought to and that is the thought of others. Every day we pass an untold numberof people on the streets and each of them have lives that are both as mundane and completely unlike ours. I honestly loved this show and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick pick me up, because its a quick shot of happiness in about an hour. For such short screen time the characters were always captivating and ensure you have a smile on your face at the end of the episode.

*Disclaimer* Just personal scratch. Advised, possible spoilers. Opinion & Informal Art: 5/10 Standard. Nothing impressive or noteworthy. Anatomy was believable. Animation: 5/10 Standard. Nothing impressive or noteworthy. Movements were believable. No fluidity or anything impactful. Characters: 5/10 Can't really say much in terms of character development. At least some personalities weren't boring or typical. Interactions were amusing.Plot: 5/10 Each mini story had scraps of a plot and some even had really interesting setups that I would have really liked to see more of and develop.
Development: 4/10 Stupid. Some of the mini stories had really interesting setups that I wanted to see more of but this stupid show ended up just leaving them at the starting line. The development in this show was stupid and left a bad taste in my mouth. There is nothing wrong with 3-minute episodes, but don't try to create any sort of setup if it's just going to be ignored. Creating open-ended development in this case didn't work and ended up hurting it in my eyes.
Music: 4/10 Wait, there was music? It was more like mood appropriate jingles. Nothing noteworthy here.
Overall: 4/10 The show had interesting setups and some were really cute too, but it only teased you with just that. Developed nothing afterwards. Stupid. Left a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm not a fan of comedy in general and usually find it stupid. But these 3 min episodes were nice. It was quite relaxing to watch it and I even laughed at the situations showed there. I think I liked this comedy because it was very realistic maybe with just a bit of exaggerations. But I could totally imagine situations like these happening in real life and people acting pretty much the same way. Of course, there's no deep drama, development of characters but hey! What do you expect from a 3 min episode? These are very nice sketches of life. Yes, this showis just sketches, but good sketches.
I liked the arts because there were no huge eyes or huge boobs and tiny skirts hardly covering super long legs. It's nothing special but it's good. So, it's 8
The voicing was also good. 8 for the sounds

To be completely honest, I should rate this lower. I don’t normally rate shorts anything lower than a 4, but a lot of these episodes hurt to watch. It has each episode focus on new characters, with a few characters getting 2 episodes of focus. 2 out of the 12 episodes were genuinely good. The very first episode and the very last episode. The other episodes range from “Boring” to “Unnecessarily creepy or uncomfortable.” I would’ve much preferred an anime short focusing on the two characters in Episodes 1 and 12. Most episodes introduced new characters that were either unmemorable or really bad. The humorjust never landed for me. It either came off as awkward or unfunny in its attempts. I had so much whiplash going from “Two friends waiting at a railroad crossing when one suddenly confesses” in Epsiode 1, to “A guy awkwardly stares at a girl and calls her sexy in his mind for three minutes straight” in episode two. The only thing saving this anime from a score of 3 was the first and last episodes. If those were never there, I probably would’ve dropped the short altogether. I continued solely for the off chance that the characters from Episode 1 would get the spotlight again.
