8	''Draw With Me'' is an animated short made by [[http://mikeinel.deviantart.com/ Mikeinel]] set to a short-edit of Otsuka Ai's song "Cherish". It's about a girl and a boy separated by an unbreakable glass, and is considered one of the [[TearJerker saddest]] original works on Website/YouTube.

13	----
14	!!This animation has examples of:
15	* AllThereInTheManual: The extras above are mostly just things to [[TearJerker make you cry yet again]], but the EasterEgg in the video for "Who" tells you many important things, like why they couldn't just use a ladder. [[spoiler:Living things have a tendency to die when they pass over the wall.]]
16	* BeautifulVoid: The setting.
17	%%* BoyMeetsGirl
18	* CatGirl: The look of the girl in this, and the boy appears to have a wolf tail.
19	%%* ChekhovsGun: Dominant hands.
20	* CouldntFindAPen: The use of coal on the wall.
21	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Long-distance relationship seems to be an influence on the themes, and anyone who has little contact with the one they love will tell you that it hits a little too hard. [[spoiler: The ending also alludes to organ transplantation such as kidney transfers or stem cell donations for loved ones.]]
22	%%* DownerEnding: The creator has stated that he doesn't like [[HappilyEverAfter sugar-coated perfect endings]]. He ''certainly'' hit his mark here.
23	* ExposedToTheElements: If that really is snow, these two are most certainly underdressed for it, especially the girl.
24	* HopeSpot: When the boy punches through the glass, [[spoiler: which then ''instantly'' reforms, shredding the boy's arm and many crucial tendons in his drawing hand]].
25	%%* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Most certainly on display here.
26	%%* MeetCute: Done ''right''.
27	%%* MinimalistCast
28	* NoNameGiven: Both our main characters are this. However, [[spoiler: on [[http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=324208167620805&id=161009323940691 Mikeinel's facebook page]], he calls the boy Zefyr and the girl Lilian.]]
29	%%* TheNoseless: This too.
30	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The color scheme, anyway.
31	* ThePowerOfLove: What [[spoiler:compels the boy to try to break through the glass]].
32	%%* SeparatedByTheWall: A textbook example of this trope.
33	* SnowMeansLove: Well, at least the firefly-like things look like snow.
34	%%* StarCrossedLovers: Well, kinda...
35	%%* StatusQuoIsGod: Apparently averted, played straight, subverted, and then ''played straight again'' in a rather disturbing way.
36	%%* TheStinger: One that bothers a lot of people, to put it lightly.
37	* TheVoiceless: Because sound can't reach across the wall.
38	%%* UnusualEars
39	* WhamLine: "It feels cold." It's after this line that everything starts progressively turning into a heap of emotion for both the characters and the viewers.
40	* WindowLove: Or rather, wall love. The principle's the same.
