Shikioriori

Three cities, three people: Ming Xiao walking the streets of Beijing, homesick for the countryside. A model on the verge of retirement living in Guangzhou, Lin Yi. And finally Mo Li, an architect working in Shanghai consumed by memories of a childhood friend.

A set of short stories with themes of current day dissatisfaction. The first focuses on food, the second on workplace drama, and the third on past childhood romance.

These are so forgettable that, although I had seen them, it took me two passes through your aniDB comment before I remembered them and their insipidity.

The creators seem to think everybody loves udon. Not only do I resent eating and view it as a speedbump/time sink, I’ve always associated udon with nematodes, so the first show’s (*now* I remember) lingering images of udon and broth nauseated me.

Watching something nondescript like this that clearly took a LOT of work is a special sort of bummer, the kind of glee/disgust combo for which there *must* be a multi-syllabic German word.
