Hi there, it's my first animation on Newgrounds, I'm so excited c:

This was originally made for Curta Motivo 2009, which is a short movie festival around here. Because of this animation, I have been awarded with a Fernando Monteiro prize.

Please don't blame EdwardtCat for any errors on the translation! It might be my fault, after all, he did a Japanese to Portuguese transation, and then I had to translate from Portuguese to English, and that might have altered the translation a tad!

---

The animation is about my two original characters, Saturn and Lumi. Saturn is a Pleiade, an alien species I have created that have skin of white, bright eyes and a star-like shape hair on the back of their heads. Saturn wakes up in a starry meadow in the middle of floating islands on space.

Yeah, floating islands on space.

Saturn wakes up with amnesia, and finds Lumi, a very brightful star. They become quick friends and decides to take a trip to our own planet, the Earth.

Even though they have a lot of fun, there's something bothering Lumi. Lumi is being faced by a hard dilemma that she keeps it to herself. Apparently, something horrible happened in the past of both of them. Was Lumi the cause of the amnesia? Or was it something else? Lumi doesn't reveal, because a stronger feeling is pushing her behind. Love. She loves Saturn too much, which makes her dilemma even harder to deal with. Saturn is naive though, and although he feels like Lumi is sad, he doesn't know anything about it.

Even though, Saturn tries to cheer her up and tries to make her forget about her past, because, deep down, he also loves her, but is too naive to know that.

"very enjoyable"

Very nice, kinda slow. consider yourself grateful for ME giving 10 stars, as I harly do such a thing. if anything, it's the third verse, where the blue dude moves his lips to the music, that looks a bit unnatural, other than that, good job getting to my favorites.

That definitely took you longer than a month. That was pretty mind-blowing, and I actually understood what you were getting at with the story in it. The music connected perfectly with it. Loved it.
