Four minutes, one song, no dialogue, and you're wrecked. Tekken doesn't animate with spectacle, he animates with pencil and patience, the kind of hand-drawn flipbook work where you can feel the paper, and here he takes Muse's "Follow Me" and makes it a story about two people who had nothing left until a child who hasn't been born yet gave them a reason to keep going. The song was already a father's promise before the animation existed, so when the chorus swells and the drawings catch up to it, the collision does something no dialogue could. It's calm on purpose. No fights, no shouting, just quiet lines moving toward a future that isn't guaranteed but is worth trying for. Watch it once with headphones and good luck getting through the last thirty seconds with a straight face.
A single-episode music video set to Muse's song "Follow Me," drawn by the Japanese comedian Tekken. The drama centers on a pair of luckless people whose lives are joined by an unborn child. Through that child, the two receive a fresh start and the hope of brighter days than the ones they have known.
