It's over 9000D!! -Vegeta when watching this anime. Tokino Kousa AKA Tokino Crossing (Shibuya Vernacular in English) is supposed to be the first 4D anime. Correct me if I am wrong, but this shit is not how dimensions work. I am fairly sure that mixing 3D people and 2D anime characters together don't magically create an extra dimension. Apparently the story itself is still very much 4-dimensional because it takes 'time' as the 4th dimension... by making it so that the story takes place in the past. How unique. I wonder why the concept of time doesn't exist in all the other anime... oh wait, itdoes. In Alice in Wonderland, Time was a person. At least that one was pretty original idea. Not sure what the folks who did this were thinking. "Hey dude, Imagine if time existed in anime." "Yes, totally." I guess some ganja was included. I give this a 2/10 because at least love doesn't go thru all 5 dimensions in this one like it does in the movie 'Interstellar' so it's not unwatchable. I guess person who saw this "live" at Shibuya could call it a 5/10 experience.. probably not.
