As earnest of a romance as you can get nowadays. No tricks, bells or whistles. Woven together by two remarkable leads, it’s just great to see a romance so humble and pure. The last ten minutes had my heart ablaze, brought to a smolder by the waterworks of that final scene.

Somewhere 2010

I get that this is meant to be a promotional video or something, but to me it didn't capture the appeal of Cowboy Bebop at all. Aside from the central song which is of course good, on its own its a decent little short with some nice shots, but feels like a stereotypical student film in many ways. Mostly terrible acting, overexposed blinding lighting, and really cheesy slow-motion...
The best part about this is that its advertising Cowboy Bebop.
