Shitcom

I saw this almost exactly 9 years ago, and if I remember right, I found it BECAUSE it was the lowest rated thing on the site at the time. YouTube randomly recommended one of Takena's recent animations, Midnight Vampire (highly recommend btw), to me the other day and I went through their other uploads to be pleasantly surprised by coming across Shitcom again. I honestly had no idea that the funny 60 second long poop claymation I watched 9 years ago was made by the same person.

Yes yes, poop is gross, pretty polarizing. If you have an ounce of media literacy, though, you'll realize this ... is actually an allegory about loving someone in spite of their baggage. I like the message and it's well-executed. Even if I rated it 10/10 as a joke 9 years ago, it is a genuine work of art. And I highly recommend checking out Takena's YouTube channel (@takena) in general. They don't upload often, but when they do, they never miss.

Ironically, Shitcom is one of Takena's tamer works. I haven't seen any other depictions of scat, but the gore goes hard.

Maybe a...tab bit.... too much... shit, eh?

Rightfully, and deservedly scored this masterpiece a No.2

Anything more would be unaccounted for, and anything less, would be, well, a bit piss in nature.

Watch and be disgusted, watch and be amazed, for all the shit there is to give, or show. The animation is completely yours to adore or puke on. The characters are very diverse, too much at times [YOU HAVE A MAN AND A WOMAN, Just wow]. The director's abilities were truly tested to their absolute limits during this art piece, maybe tested too much to its limits, hence the shithousery.

Basically, Humans are full of shit. [Don't ... think too much into it]

Shitcom short review by Ja025:


Fascinating: Someone actually spent time to make this.
Amazing: Someone probably liked this.
Sad: I watched it to see how bad it is. Wasn’t disappointed about that aspect.
Notable: The clay models in Takena’s animations are actually quite good.
Appalling: The anime itself.

Obvious: This anime is a joke, there’s no more to it really.
...
Why the score: I’m just adding text here to make the review long enough to post. Answer is self explanatory and could be summarized in one word – the name of the animation.

To note: If you like poop jokes in a romantic setting you might … want to rethink your life.
