This is a sick cgi ova that released back in '01. This really just boils down to the animators having 18 minutes to flex their cgi muscles, as there isn't an overarching plot here. But I don't care this is cool and I like it a lot. There was 3 animations done by these guys, but this one is my favorite. Seeing this girl who doesn't exist comprehend human senses and becoming more understanding of humanity is really endearing. The video online doesn't have subs, and I don't know how to add subtitles to videos, so until I understand how windows movie maker works, which I plan to do soon, the translations with timestamps is the best I can do at the moment.

[Messenger] 15:48; フェイフェイ；こんばんは、フェイは今、夜空の散歩楽しんでいます。今日も眩しい光 がたくさん見えます。夢、希望、可能性、そして嘘や悲しさ。ここでは、あなたのココロに宿る 思いが美しい光の線となり夜の空を渡るのです。さぁ、フェイと一緒にそんな輝き見つめて みませんか？窓を開いて、空を行く光の線をだって私を見つけて。 [Messenger] 15:48; FeiFei; good evening, Fei is now enjoying a walk in the night sky. She can see a lot of dazzling lights. Dreams, hope, possibilities, and even lies and sadness. Here, the feelings dwelling in your heart can become beautiful beams that line up the night sky. Well, won't you gaze upon the brightness of the sky with Fei? Open the window, look up at the light passing through the sky, and see me.
16:57; フェイフェイ今、誰かの思いが光になって私の中に流れてきました。 遠くの彼から彼女に送られるメッセージのよ。この人はちょっと浮気者ね。一瞬一瞬は 本当にそう思うのだから厄介な人ね。でも、遠くのあなたのことをとても信頼してるみたい 空気のように軽くてとても澄んだ光、離れていることに負けないでね。 16:57; FeiFei; FeiFei is now feeling the light of someone's thoughts flowing within her. It's a message sent from a man to a woman from far away. They are a bit unfaithful. Every moment, it truly feels this way, so it's a troublesome person. But, even though you are so far away, He can trust you very much. Your light is as light as air, and it is as very clear air. Don't let you two being apart bring you down.
17:48; フェイフェイ；あけの苗状にも負けない光がいま生まれました。 ずっと孤独だった二人がやっと巡り会えたのね。長かったね？何箇所もほころびよれてる日本線 が重なっておぎなやい強く輝いてるわもう離れないね。よかったね。まもなく夜が開け交差する 思いの共演の幕がおります。さあ、今日歩き出しましょう。そしてまたいつかのどこかの 空をフェイト行きましょう。 17:48; FeiFei; A light that won't lose to the seedling like dawn has just been born. For such a long time, those two who have been lonely have finally found each other once again. It’s been a long time, hasn't it? The many places with unraveling and worn out japanese lines overlap, complementing each other, shining strongly. We won't part anymore. How nice. Soon, the nights will break, and the curtain will rise on a performance of cross sectional thoughts. And again, someday, let's head towards fate under some sky somewhere.
Fun little message that appears on screen at 17:31; [Messenger] 悲しいの？ そうなの。 いつか、きっと乗り越えられる。フェイはその苦しみを変わってあげることはできないけれど。 同じ悲しみを乗り越えた人の送る、やさしい光りを今感じました。 あなたにこれを届けます。 [Messenger] Are you sad? I see. Someday, you will surely overcome this obstacle. Although FeiFei cannot take this pain away. Someone who has overcome the same pain, their soft light can be felt. I will deliver it to you.
