Both of these Yoji Kuri shorts are about men trying to escape from clingy lovestruck women. If by some miracle you like this then both of these are for you.

These two simplistic shorts by Yoji Kuri have a kind of misogynistic air about them. They're both about women making unwanted advances or just pestering men that do not return their feelings. No doubt both present a deep insight into the human condition. Or maybe not. If you, for reasons unimaginable, liked one of them, the other will surely please you. And if you didn't, why not be a little masochistic and watch the other one anyway?

Human Zoo

Human Zoo

Often human behavior is little better than that of animals. Men act like mere obedient dogs to their spouses, lone males howl like wild beasts, and wives feel the need to keep their husbands in check with a broom beating.

Both are short films made by Yoji Kuri.  Both have similar themes and the same (horrible) art style and character designs. Ai is somewhat better than Human Zoo since it actually has a plot of sorts.  Still, if you (somehow) liked one of these shorts, then you may like the other one.

Both of these are shorts by Yoji Kuri. Neither of them make a whole lot of sense (though Ai has a little more plot than Human Zoo). Both of them take a rather abstract look at the relationship between man and woman. And both are done in the same, simplistic art style.

Millennium Actress

Millennium Actress

What starts as a simple interview of a legendary actress becomes a journey through the history of Japan. But this is no ordinary lesson; from the perspective of this actress, we learn of the beauty and sadness of love, the pain and regret and joy of the Japanese people and their film, through this film: Millennium Actress.

Aoi and Akane's parents passed away in an accident 13 years ago, and Akane gave up her ambition of going to Tokyo with Shinnosuke to take care of Aoi. Since then, Aoi has felt indebted to her older sister. One day, she is invited to perform at a music festival as a session musician by a famous enka singer named Dankichi. At the same time, Shinnosuke returns to Aoi and Akane's town after a long time away. Then, Shinno mysteriously appears— who is actually Shinnosuke from 13 years ago after traveling from the past to the present—and Aoi falls in love for the first time.

5 Centimeters per Second

5 Centimeters per Second

Although today Tono Takaki and Shinohara Akari live far apart due to a family move shortly after elementary school, they were once two shy young students brought together by their shared differences from their peers. It is because of this that the two built a bond of closeness between them that still survives through their continued correspondence, even over such a distance. Secretly they both fear the loss of this bond over time, and for this reason they arrange a meeting between just the two of them. The journeys both of them take in their minds and in their lives create an atmosphere of intense emotional upheaval, but also a sense of peace. It is a twist of fate and a series of decisions that put the two in place to carry what they choose of their pasts into the future they will create for themselves.
