A Child's Metaphysics

📖 SYNOPSIS

This anime introduces a cast of peculiar children. One child’s head is composed of numerals, while another carries their wound-up face under their arm. The remnants of their identity are explored through a child whose eyes are provided by fishes. Another child lies on the floor, repeatedly head-butting their own identity. A child with a zipper across their mouth struggles to speak; when undone, another zipper is revealed beneath. The series focuses on the ecology and philosophy of these children, exploring their experiences with both sadness and humor. The narrative centers on their unique physical forms and the implications these have on their sense of self and their interactions with the world.
