Anime like A Reflection of One's Mind

What is A Reflection of One's Mind about?

Status: Finished

Realised in 2014, this beautiful animated film, subtle and graceful, is the final project year-end of a Japanese student of University of Fine Arts Tama of Tokyo : Kohei Nakaya.

The choice of a silent narrative, driven by a soft and introspective music of Claude Debussy, lets you enjoy all the finesse of this teenager malaise.

Lightweight and touching, A reflection of one's mind is very pleasant. The impressive maturity and control of the graphic writing, lets we expected great things for Kahei Nakaya and his future audience.
