Reception
In 2015, David Cairns of Notebook referred to 'Emotion' as "a collage of camera effects, stills, pixillation and every other trick the decade had to offer", concluding: "Obayashi's caffeinated take on avant-garde cinema certainly shows the influence of commercials, and he never met a gimmick he didn't like, but he can sure compose a shot."
Home media
On 26 October 2010, the Criterion Collection released Obayashi's 1977 feature-length film 'House' on Blu-ray and DVD, with 'Emotion' included as a special feature.
