Is very strange talking about Cathexis, is not my type of serie but surprisingly I could find on this many interesting things. Being just five (5) music videos, each one of them tell us a different tale based on koji and takuto. If we know just a bit about what is zetsuai or the characters itself are, we can see a passionate way of each one of them, mostly over koji nanjo. The video clips are totally Surrealist, harsh, a very personal way of presenting the persecution of koji over takuto, we can see strong selfish feelings of love. I guess the most particular of thisis how we can differenciate both character as an entity, they are so unique with that powerful personality, is sadist watch how they fight against each other, with a kind of invasive personality, they can wrap us with the most sad and painful expression as anger and passion. The five music videos are represented by different phantasies; The Rock Idol star tale. The religious-angel tale. The studio tale, centred on koji nanjo recording a theme and watching the artist life view. The vampire hunter tale. The last music video is i guess the most strange of them, the most personal and sad over the characters, as lovers, the crash point of view. This is very familiar to those 70's - 80's old music video clips, surrealism of lover and different meanings, abstracts stuffs. some scenes are a bit shocking and rude, contains romantics scenes as agressive scenes.

More of a content warning than a review: So I was kind of enjoying this weird 30 minute music video OVA thing where the vocal mixing sounds like the guy is singing out of a shoebox when all of a sudden in the third or fourth song the n@zi symbol suddenly shows up very prominently on the blonde guy's armband and took me right out of the moment. It was rotated so it was definitely what I thought it was. I'm honestly not sure what they were trying to say? Is it a seriously misguided aesthetic choice? Was that part of the original anime? I really don'tknow what the artist's intent was bringing WWII into the sharp-chinned world of this melodramatic yaoi fever dream, but there you go. I feel like there should be a clearer disclaimer somewhere so I'm leaving it here. N@zi paraphernalia: 0 out of 10 Rest of the anime: 6 oshiete kures out of 10

Each music video has a simple short story involving the two main characters. The stories are basic and short enough to be explored within the length of a 3-5 minute song. The music videos themselves are quite dark, surreal, and artsy looking, with good enough animation, nothing too special. The majority of my enjoyment came from the songs themselves, which I actually thought were pretty (and surprisingly) good. This is what made my rating higher. I've only *watched* this anime about once, but I've listened to it about 3 times. The songs can best be described as interesting, weird, and catchy. They won't be everyone'sstyle, but I enjoy them and see myself going back to them every so often.
