Synopsis: The film follows Nishi, a loser who has a crush on his childhood girlfriend. After an encounter with the Japanese mafia, the film follows Nishi as he journeys to heaven and back, and ends up trapped in an even more unlikely place. Nishi (and some friends) attempt to break out of their trap, and discover what it truly means to be alive along the way. This is a mind-bending trip that uses some of the most innovative animation ever created.

I'll have a beer and a stick!

If I only had one of those magic time belts,

turn it back...

"RECAP"

"ANGER BAROMETER"

Nishi, are you there?

Where is he, this way?

This ball couldn't be him, now could it?

This you? You wanted some, didn't you?

Well turn around and...

I...

I...

I'm gonna... I'm gonna...

I'm gonna hurt you!

- I'm

- No!

- Gonna

- Stop!

- Hurt You

- Stop, please!

"Sucks, doesn't it?"

"Lame, aren't you?"

"A fart, no?"

"Snot?"

OK, I get it! I'm not cool!

I'm useless! And no fun!

"Bird sh*t?"

I'm a snot, I know! So, stop this!

Stop! Stop!

STOP!!

Something's wrong with my eyes!

I keep changing, right?

You can't decide what I should look like!

Who are you?

You know! It's flickering there in your mind!

Come on, let it go.

What's the first thing that comes to mind?

"G-O-D"

G... God!!

There we are!

Not that how you call me matters!

A, B, they're just symbols anyway!

Confused? Wanna see my tits?

The only way to make it stop is to be honest.

Easier to see the truth that way!

The truth for you, that is!

Too late for counseling though.

Since you're DEAD! What a shame!

Dead... I'm... dead?

Really?

Just like that? Gone at 20?

Why was I born then?

So you could have fun at my expense?!

What's wrong with that, huh?

Yeah, so I made you on a whim!

I made you, dipshit, for my sheer enjoyment!

What's wrong with that?

Oops, I have to go!

- Got a date!

- A date?!

Time's up. Go straight that way

and keep walking. You'll soon disappear.

And my next life?

- Huh?

- Next life?

Your what? Told you it's over. Start walking!

And disappear? No afterlife? We're done?

It's really over?!

Really, really, really over?! God?

Will you shut up! You saw how you got here,

multiple p-o-v's of you brain exploding.

A shocking documentary of your death,

deftly edited by moi!

You are DEAD!

I'm officially dead?

Them's the breaks Nishi.

Straight ahead and disappear...

So if I go the other way...

Hey! What're you doing?! I'll be late!

Wait!

Let me through, I'm going back!

Not down for the count, huh?

You're gonna fade away, that's how it works.

See, you're already fading.

I don't believe you! I'm not gonna disappear!

I'm going back!

Won't happen!

I'll make it, I'll get there, you'll see!

Not bad, can you keep it up?

With that brain? Body?

I'm gonna take care of that creep.

Be stronger. Determined!! Free and happy!

Live life to the fullest!

Pretty good...

Alright give it your best shot!

YES! I'm going back! I'm gonna do this!

I'm on your side... I'm on your side...

Your turn after, amigo. Get up and get IT up!

Never... never...

Never again!

Don't move!

Yang, come here.

I'll blow your head off if you move,
