The name Kenji Miyazawa may be familiar to fans of his more famous literary work, Night on the Galactic Railroad. This animated short is an adaptation of another of the famous writer's works that tells a simple story of two hunters who visit a restaurant, unaware of what they are in for as they venture further into it. There is genuine suspense built up with the two hunters gradually coming to realize what they are in for as more of the written instructions reveal what the true intentions of the restaurant owner are. The 20-minute length of the short is enough to tell its story, but its rewatchability may be limited as a result of this. Might be more a treat for fans of Kenji Miyazawa's written works.
