Well. I believe that Animator Expo's most recent short (NSFW) has broken a new record. Going by the name of 20min Walk From Nishi-Ogikubo Station, 2 Bedrooms, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, 2mos Deposit, No Pets Allowed, Mahiro Maeda's (Blue Submarine No. 6 and Eva 3.0's Director) piece puts all of those light novel stories with long titles to shame. In fact, this work might end up being the title with the longest name in the group.
As for the short itself, 20min is one hell of a ride, as a pint-sized girl scales an entire apartment room in a dynamically amazing manner. In a way, it does a great job at giving us an idea of what a rodent or bug has to go through when they're running for their lives. Combined with Takeshi Honda's designs (Denno Coil and Millenium Actress' Character Designer) added an extra touch, since the sketchy lines and watercolor-like visuals complimented the ridiculous movements that went on during the short.
Thanks to this short, I'm now interested in seeing if someone'll come up with a longer title for their piece down the road. With 24 more shorts to go, there's a good chance that it could happen.
