Water Brain

📖 SYNOPSIS

"Water Brain" depicts a bleak world where children are relentlessly burdened with homework by unseen, giant monsters. These children possess brains filled with water, which heats up and boils when they experience stress. The resulting steam serves a dual purpose: it provides energy for the city and acts as sustenance for the greedy monsters that loom over them. This cruel system forces the children to repeat their lives in a state of perpetual misery, their childhoods sacrificed to power the world. The anime explores themes of exploitation, the pressures of education, and the loss of innocence within a dystopian setting. The children are essentially a living power source, their mental anguish fueling the very society that oppresses them.
