Pale Cocoon

Pale Cocoon

Ura works in the Archive Excavation Department of an enclosed underground colony, painstakingly restoring corrupted records of a past the survivors can no longer remember. When he recovers a file unlike any before it, his obsession with the buried history deepens, even as his colleague Riko grows weary of digging through fragments that only show humanity at its worst. This 23-minute OVA from Yasuhiro Yoshiura turns on what that one recovered record reveals about their sealed world.
