This stop motion picture, is weirdly done, with its not so polished edges but I guess that was what Kasai was aiming for. The middle part of the story is mentally disturbing, but it perfectly depicts how depression could push a person to the edge of insanity; clearly not seeing what is normal because the brain synapses are not working properly. Pineapple Calamari has no clear resolution in the end, I think like all mental illness a person just try to survive.
