What I Liked: A great mix of CGi and 2D animation with lots of lovely and truly beautiful scenery shots. Good insert song. The sheer quality of this ONA made me almost mistake it for a Shinkai production.What I Didn't: The banal monologuing made me almost mistake this for a Shinkai production.Final Verdict: A beautiful tribute to Tokyo Station, this 5-minute short uses the story of a woman looking to repair her deceased father's watch as a vehicle to show off the station's gorgeous architecture. The attention to detail on the background art is amazing, and the insert song's a bonus. Shame about the monologuing, in a way.
