The kind of stuff that makes me want to be an animator.

It was real nice with a sad end. Though I prefer something more like Draw With Me, just probably because of my Anime-Artwork interest.

Animation-wise, "Thought of You" trumps "Draw with Me", I think, although both have the "sketchy" feel. I am into art because of anime, I'll admit, but Draw with me isn't on the same level of actual "animation". Were it still in the style that it's in, and trump the animation of "Thought of You", I'd be the first to admit it.

I have seen Draw with Me before, and liked it, I just like other things more.

Aren't both of these really sad? In the first one, they separate. In the second, they're still separated, and she cut her arm off, yes?

Yeah, they are. DX

Thought of You has better animation by far, but Draw with Me makes itself clear faster. They both have their good storytelling points, I just happened to post this one because I want to become an animator and it was really inspiring.

The Second one has hope at the end, she gives a peace of herself to him so they can draw together again like he gave a peace of himself trying to get through the glass wall. That is what I believe true love to be, Its someone that fully Gives a peace of themselves to the one they love and are able to get a peace of the other person in return.

The first one was tragically painful at the end, he dreamed about the girl thought about her but in the end left her once she came to him. The reason is never known and possibly there was no reason. He could had possibly never truly loved her seance he rejected her another way to look at it is that he was afraid of her loving himself and left, which i can relate to.

I tried watching the first one without lyrics and I think one of the interpretations could be this: He was a tired lonely guy, and out of nowhere comes this woman who he falls in love with and keeps trying to go after. However, while she stays close, she keeps evading him, but she's slowly falling in love with him too. By the time she lets him take a good hold of her, he has given up on being in a relationship with her because he's tired of pursuing her; maybe he's not sure that she won't just slip away again, so he leaves her.

Very nice.
Though it was kind of deep...I can't really understand the piece at the end...

If you watch it multiple times you start to feel like the end is less sudden, because you'll notice more things hinting at it. I was confused by it at first too, but I've watched a lot of times now and I think I'm building a better interpretation every time I re-watch.
