Reviews for "The Monster is Me"

Good.

"Run away from your problems"

As someone who's struggled with depression before, I can relate to this, and it holds a really big meaning for me. If that's not the message you were going for, oh well. It's still what I got out of it. It's like you always have shadows haunting you, keeping you depressed. Pills helped for a while, but once I realized that it was my choice whether I was going to let life drag me down, I got off the pills and was able to be happy, and I ignored the little things that usually got me depressed. In the end the monster was me for not choosing to ignore the things that made me sad earlier on. I dwelled on the sad things and that was my downfall. I'm just glad I'm not one of the casualties that didn't realize that soon enough. I'm so damn glad that I figured it out soon enough that I didn't do something stupid like offing myself. At 19, I have a long life to live, and I don't need to waste it on being depressed.
Anyways, this animation just speaks to me on that alot, and it's pretty nice to see a story about someone overcoming their shadows too.

My review will be this one : The tittle is perfect... It is everyone's life, in fact : Everybody is envaded by bad ideas inspired by satan and it clearly shows that our worst ennemi is at least ourselves.

And you can reach hapiness by only fighting against your passions and purify your soul.
This is the main idea that first came to my mind, and hope it was author's thinking too...

Was a kind of explanation for those who "don't get it 100/100" , I'v always wanted to do such an animation and I surely will :D
