Imdb labels this as a "comedy", but I don't really see this as something humorous. Not even as a dark comedy, but as some sort of existentialist piece, portraying a rather bleak and nihilistic view of the afterlife. And maybe human existence as well.
On a rewatch, I actually found the plot way too somber to find any comical aspect from this, being borderline horror on its dark ending.
An interesting minimalist animation, but definately not a comedy. Morbidly ironic? Maybe. But it's the kind of irony that makes you feel depressed rather than laughing.
The type of irony Lovecraft was talking when he said "The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind".
