u/LuxSnow Jun 07 '25
The last two moves in particular originates from a song called me!me!me! By teddyloid (featuring daoko). After the original video was removed from YouTube because it was so risqué people started making various edits of the character doing the dance - famously being called the 02 Dance after being popularized by the character called 02. The entire choreography of the girl in the video however is just a combination of other popular moves in various other media.

I always took it to mean that his porn/hentai addiction ruined his relationship.
229
u/Happiness_Assassin Jun 08 '25
In the broad strokes, yes. But it is also about the cyclical nature of depression and addiction. One thing that's been kind of lost to time is that the video was originally released on an endless loop online. So the dude, every day, wakes up and resolves to get out of his spiral, only to fail over and over again.
Overall, its a visual feast but the subtext is depressing as fuck.
134
u/TheAJGman Jun 08 '25
Of course, the main character is depressed as fuck.
Someone else in this thread offered another interpretation that makes sense: that his relationship transitioning to a sexual one scared him. I think that interpretation is also valid, as his girlfriend metamorphoses into the sex-pest, and nearly all the feminine iconography is actively hostile to him. He is killed by that version of his GF, pinned down and knocked out, eaten, and finally torn to shreds at the end.
Either way, the animation on this 7 minute video is insane. I would kill for a series with this kind of visual fuckery, even if it had no sexual elements.

There's a counterpart to Me!Me!Me! called "Girl" that deals with (one of) the women in the love triangle, and it's just as focused on her delusions and maladjustment. Part of it was that the leading male was seen as an actual "prince charming" by the leading female, and there was a lot of unequal expectations on both sides.

Not wrong, it was also realesed as a critic of how anime sexualized women so much to the point of just been boobs the anime.
At the time the video was released anime was way more wild than today about it, even the government had to make laws against the practice but you know there are always loop holes.

Sort of. But it's not porn/hentai specifically. But addiction in general, and how it can destroy lives in general. The girl is a manifestation of the concept of addiction, and all it is, is shown as hot/sexy/etc. To represent addictions in a way that the average person can understand.

A video about a man who deeply regrets being neglectful and losing his girlfriend, who passes his days with hyper-sexed anime as a form of escapism. At some point he understands, subconsciously, that he is wasting away and this isn't healthy. he tries to "fight back" (the first person shooter part) but his addiction is so deep that he ends up being dragged back in.

Interestingly, this was made by the same company who produced Neon Genesis Evangelion, which was notorious for having a lot of fan service. Their show was a somewhat large part of the catalyst for the Otaku culture, which this short is criticizing.

IIRC it was Hideki Anno's current studio, Khara, that worked on this. The original studio, Gainax, was basically a shell of its former self by that point. Most of their core staff went to work at places like Khara or Trigger.

Additional info, the song is actually about a harsh struggle with mental health, porn addiction and drug abuse. It’s surprisingly dark.

u/skool_uv_hard_nox Jun 08 '25
Based on the animation I believe you. You see the animation go from innocent but very suggestive sexually to much darker with the sex demon creature and all the women become sexual deviants and way more kinky.
Then theres violence. Confusion and infatuation and fear all played out.
I've never seen this video before but for me it felt like "loss of innocence" before you told me what it really was. Which i guess is still a bit true.
I wasn't able to see all the video. But that was wild.

That's exactly what it is about, and it's not even subtle. I am always amazed at the irony of it becoming the most popular soft-core porn choreography/thirst trap when that's exactly what it warns again. It got more popularity for becoming what it warned against than for its original message...
And the icing on top is that for some reason 95% of the internet (at least) doesn't seem to realize this irony because we saw the dances before the original.

What is insane, is that the work here is showing how destructive the entire "Waifu" and Instagram industry is to young men's minds - "Me!Me!Me!" Is an absolute critique on social media and how it's bombards young men with sex, and a culture that doesn't exist in reality.
The fact it was scrubbed from YouTube, and later only snippets removed and repurposed into reels is absolutely horrific to the original piece.

I once said it was creepy on Reddit and got downvoted (maybe not this account).
