Beautiful work; I loved it how you kept the colours monotone with a splash of warm colours - that came across as very powerful, and gave the story an element of hope. The cherry blossom tree being central to this added a lovely touch too, especially with regards to the symbol how of life and its gifts are fleeting, but should be revered as much as possible.
Originality
A lot of the art I've seen that involves cherry blossoms tends to focus more positive hope, its beauty and life. What made this more original in my eyes is the spin it put on that. It came across as being Kazu's story, rather than something slightly more general.
Technique
The art was also very well drawn, and contributed to the overall mood very well. However, there were a couple of parts that were a little pixelated, when they would have come across better as being slightly smoother. Additionally, the music, despite helping to reiterate the main themes of the work, got a little repetitive and wearing; perhaps silence in some parts would have been more beneficial. That aside, the story flowed well and the animation was brilliant.
Impact
The story had a great impact on me. I felt that I could relate to his despair and loneliness, especially when it was mixed in with his desire to give something which, although unimportant to himself, could perhaps help another in a positive way. This, mixed in with all the symbolism (hope, life, death, growth etc), was very thought provoking on a number of levels. The only aspect which lessened the impact of this was the fact that the girl had such huge breasts - it came across as being misplaced, and distracting from the main point of the story.
In the end the life can make us learn some things and the most important thing is hope, this is what I understand of this animation. It's a awesome message, I'ts a beautiful staging and I have to say that this is in my favourites
