Not sure why some didn't now what was going on with the girl. Anyway, the style was nice and the twist at the end got my attention to watch again. Because of the NG general mood I was expecting some kind of twisted joke or something more aggressive, which in turn ended up being something not so expected, refreshing and smarter? I dunno. I just know I enjoyed this submission both the story and the "flow".
By the way, if this was a tv classic cartoon I can imagine some kind of "vanity vs visionary" / brute force vs smart ass battle for the lady. The funniest I've seen was the one on the Disney's Sleepy Hollow, but your animation as it is, is just fine.
Keep up the good work.
