Kakomareta Sekai is a short animation done by Shinkai Makoto using Lightwave 3D. It is inspired by Japanese novelist Murakami Haruki's book 'Sekai no Owari to Hard-Boiled Wonderland' (English title: Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World). The music was done by Tenmon, who's also responsible for the music in Shinkai's 'Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko', 'Hoshi no Koe', and 'Kumo no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho'.
Only 30 seconds long, this short was originally viewable at Shinkai's website, but has since been taken down due to bandwidth issues. Its chances of getting a proper release are slim, as Shinkai intended it only as practice using 3DCG programs.

Where it came from
Enclosed World, or 'Tojikai,' was produced as an original net animation released in 2007. It emerged during a period of experimentation within the Japanese animation industry, where smaller studios sought to explore mature, existential themes outside the constraints of traditional television broadcast models. The project was conceived as a self-contained narrative that focuses on atmospheric storytelling and philosophical inquiry rather than conventional action sequences.
The production is notable for its deliberate, contemplative aesthetic, which prioritizes mood and environmental detail. It was designed to evoke a sense of isolation and wonder, utilizing a minimalist visual language that reflects the introspective nature of its script. While the work remains a niche title, it is frequently cited by enthusiasts of independent animation for its successful execution of a contained, high-concept premise.
