The short anime "Space Eye," which began streaming on DMM TV on January 27, 2023, is a work that draws viewers in with its unique worldview and storytelling. With six episodes, each episode lasting just five minutes, this anime depicts a deep theme and gives a sense of new possibilities for short anime.

Overview

"SPARE EYE" is an original anime work, and the series is written by Udai Iwasaki of the comedy duo "Kamomentaru". It is directed by Masashi Ito, and animation is produced by KENJISTUDIO and REGARO. The copyright belongs to DMM TV.

story

The story of "Spa Eye" begins with the protagonist's everyday life. One day, the protagonist suddenly learns that he is a "Spa Eye." "Spa Eyes" are like "spare parts" that humans have, and can be taken out when needed. This setting forces the protagonist to think deeply about his own identity and the meaning of his existence.

In the six episodes, the protagonist meets various people and explores what it means to be a "special eye." Each episode can be enjoyed as a standalone, but there is one overarching theme that runs throughout the series: the universal questions of "Who am I?" and "What is the meaning of my existence?"

character

The main character, "Spaeye," goes on a journey to discover who he is. He is a kind, curious, and sometimes humorous character. Characters with various personalities appear around him. For example, the main character's friend, "Mika," is a bright and energetic character who supports the main character. In addition, a character called "Doctor" plays an important role in explaining the main character's role as "Spaeye."

Visuals and Music

The visuals of "Speeye" are simple yet unique. The background is painted in pale colors, designed to highlight the characters' expressions and movements. In particular, the scenes in which the protagonist uses his "Speeye" abilities feature vivid colors and dynamic movements that are very impressive.

Music is also an important element in enhancing the atmosphere of the work. Many of the background music melodies reflect the protagonist's feelings, and are designed to make it easy for viewers to empathize with the protagonist. Additionally, the ending themes for each episode are also selected to match the story.

Theme and Message

"Space Eye" depicts a deep theme in a short time. As the protagonist searches for the meaning of his existence as a "Space Eye," the viewer is also forced to think about the meaning of his own existence. This work offers viewers an opportunity to explore themselves by asking the questions "Who am I?" and "What is the meaning of my existence?"

The "spare eye" setting also makes viewers think about human relationships and the state of society. Treating the protagonist as a "spare eye" highlights the problems with humans treating others like "spare parts." This work conveys to viewers the importance of "respecting others."
