I enjoy this animation because it has a rough, schoolish feel to it due to the pencil drawn city and dirty texture given to the landscape and filter of the world. The lines of the Fluffy the cat are all smooth and shapely while the buildings and the needle (a recurring symbol in this video) are not, creating a sharp contrast. I enjoyed the other version of Fluffy, which was done in blue lines which felt like it was drawn in pen overtop of a pencil drawing.

Although this animation does not have much story to follow, the use of silence, traffic and the constant switch between the slow and fast paced muffled music gives a feeling of emptiness and despair. This animation is sketchy, incomplete and induces a state of confusion.
