pale cocoon – archive of our losses
Thursday, June 12th, 2008
Pale Cocoon is a one-shot OVA by Yasuhiro Yoshiura. In a futuristic dystopia of rusted cubicles, disintegrating archives, and weary bodies filing along the darkened corridor of a factory warehouse, we are presented with the silhouette of a bleak reality that isn’t too hard to imagine for ourselves as a real possible future. Ura, our protagonist, is a diligent archaeologist of sorts within the “Archive Excavation Department”.
