A single song and animation collide with the weight of asking what it means to keep living when the world feels like it's consuming you. Marie Yasui's direction turns Eve's lyrics into something you feel in your chest before you understand it with your head. The music doesn't accompany the visuals, they move as one thought, five minutes that hold more truth about survival than most full series manage in twelve episodes. This is what happens when a musician and animator stop explaining and start showing. No dialogue. No waste.
How to Eat Life is a single-episode music video made for Inochi no Tabekata, a song by the artist Eve. Marie Yasui handled both direction and animation on the piece. The short supernatural music video sets its otherworldly imagery to Eve's track.
