Not to be confused with Kanamemo, Kanamewo is a 5 minute silent short about a (I’m guessing) 17-18 year old woman and a 700 year old tree goddess named Kukoamenoduchimikoto. Try saying that five times fast. Since it is being talked about here, take a wild guess what happens…
Thanks to my always reliable cameraman for finding this video.

In my years as an avid watcher of all things animated I have seen Rattrap X Botanica and Tails X Cosmo so a “Normal X Grass/Ghost (or maybe Fairy) Type” union is nothing new.
The Yuri Empire 
Tails x Cosmo was cute :P.

Point being a usually organic being falling in love with a plant being is nothing new to me. Also I agree on TXC having been cute.

…I knew “tree-hugging”, but this is taking it to a whole new level 😛
That out of my system: I do enjoy shorts, that manage to tell an emotional story within such short time. And I don’t mind if they are kinda “outta there”, as long they are sensible in their own right. Even if it may take a somewhat open mind to gain a feeling for any meaning or interpretation.
The tune was somewhat uneasy to listen to, yet artistically I kinda like how it mashes and clashes in the same churning manner the visual story rushes through a cascade of emotional themes. Kinda like a memory…
Not a bad find. Thanks for sharing / relaying.

Their love is real from the looks it.
Especially when it got really loud but yeah it fit the story so it can be forgiven.

Well that was a first for me…It’s nice but hated the fact that the tree died sort of (?)
But overall, it’s a nice story 🙂

She most likely came back after her girlfriend planted her in that new location. That tree’s her, meaning a new blue body.

So many feels in such a short amount of time, the ending was really sweet too <3.
i personally wouldn’t mind an extended story/manga/anime version of this.

That it was.
The story was simple enough to not need an extension or continuation.

Hopefully there’s an epilogue or a sequel
That ending really pulled my heartstrings badly

Nah. It doesn’t need one. It was clear they got back together after the tree grew back.

I guess
A confirmation by the author of it would be great though

It’s one of those endings where the lead’s reaction is all that’s needed.

Glad to see it got a short sequel as an ONA, but I still don’t understand why they made the loli boss a tree spirit and why Haruka’s hair isn’t blue anymore.

Dunno.

It was kind of beautiful in a way it was a realistic fantasy of sorts. In the end she had to go back to her roots(no pun intended) She even came back to see her as a tree.
Btw this reminds me of if skins was a anime.

this show gives me a strangely unsettling feeling while watching. I think it’s interesting, and has effective presentation. I like it!

That was kinda the point. Obvious whining about the music aside (People repeating it time and again has become redundant) it was wonderful.

It felt unsettling at first, I was really surprised when their relationship went from emotional to physical, but I quickly got over it and as it went on from that point I felt suffocated by sadness, even as the mc smiled with hope at the end.
I really liked the music, how it represented their bond.
This really gave me feels, it was a great work.
I ended up watching it 4 times, thanks for sharing

I LIKED the music a lot. Weird how it did seem like a mom and daughter but then nope. Well she is actually a 500 year old goddess/tree spirit and while this trope is often made fun of it’s a little strange to see it in action. I kinda want to watch it again but kinda not since it made me anxious.
