Fumiko's Confession is an independent anime short that's been all the rage on Nico Nico and YouTube lately. Cute characters and great animation aside, this clip's most exceptional quality is its production: it was entirely animated by one person, the up-and-coming Japanese artist Tete. Keep an eye on this guy... he's headed for big things in the future.

The short can be viewed after the jump. For those of you not fluent in moonspeak, here's a short summary of the dialogue: Fumiko asks the boy to date her, but he refuses, wanting to spend his time practicing baseball. At the end, she offers to make him miso soup every day (essentially a marriage proposal), but he once again refuses.

Poor Fumiko...
