The beautiful, deep, faboulous, mesmerizing tale of Sushi
__THE BEAUTIFUL TALE OF SUSHI__ ~A simply mind blowing experience that will never be forgotten
It all start with a pink sheet, beautiful in it's own semplicity, with a tiny little curve in the middle of it (a clear reference to Mari Makinami from evangelion and her suit).
Our eyes get lost in this beautiful view, a beautiful pink view with just a tiny little thing in the middle, and we can't thing nothing else except how little we are, how little we are compared to the universe we are in, just like the little thing in the middle, we are just like her, extremely small, and fragile...

BUT HERE IT COMES.

A knife cutting our universe, all of it is now split in half, a perfect half, which is absurd, right? because there is no thing such as perfection, and the director (god bless her) wanted to make you think about this, wanted to make feel you perfect, just the way you are, because we are all different and beautiful in our own way, no matter what the people say, no matter how they hurt you, you are perfect as you are, and the director want to lull you in this sweet thinking, with the beautiful OST playing in the background, we just sink in our chair... take a deep breath and sooth all our negative thoughts.

As we calm down we watch the pink getting cut, cut, and cut again until it becomes a little cute piece of sushi! (uwu)
this is exactly how sushi looks like for anyone wondering
Our direction than swap the scene and focus on a rotating thing, what could it be?
That Amethic doubt is pervading our thoughts, we can't think nothing but just trying to solve this dilemma, what is happening?
We got got carried away from our sweet dreams and now we are projected in this exciting and thrilling scene.
Simply put: the director want all of you to think that life is BRUTAL. We can't just lie around and do nothing but wait for our happiness, for our goals to be accomplished and think that we deserve better, better than anyone else.
The cam goes slowly down... just to reveal a fork, and begin to rotate on top of the piece of sushi (you!).
YOU THINK THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD SPIN AROUND YOU? YOU FOOL.
Go and grab your happines! Because you, you, and only YOU can help yourself, and with that, i think it's clear that the director got heavily inspired by operas such as: -Welcome to the NHK
-Monogatari series
If it wasn't clear enough by now tho, because the drawings and the animations are just like Monogatari, but beautiful in their own way, they have their personality, not just a mere copy, be careful.

As the fork keep spinning we got shocked by a traumatazing event, the fork just stabbed the sushi!
It's a fight or flight situation.
Fight Shinji!!! To the most mindful viewers, a scene instantly revealed in their head: it's just like that scene from the end of evangelion!!!
Than we got immersed in a strange, pink liquid, pink just like the beginning remember?
Something coming in your mind eh?
That pink in the beginning was nothing else than the primordial liquid, the beginning of everything.
And now, after a long life of struggle we are just going to be all in one with everything, just like (again) the beginning.
As the time goes by, we got eaten and get fused with all the world,all the people of the world in one, pink, liquid.
No personality, no unique thinking, just everything mixed.
A new whole start for the universe.

BUT WAIT

Our hero choose to fight, choose to be free, choose happiness, choose to be a better sushi (person), and set him free from this huge mess!
So go and grab it, sushi! Find your happiness in this dark and sad world, because you, and only you, can find your own happiness.
Just like that scene, eh? hehe...
