Victor Hyper Robot Compo CM's

Victor Hyper Robot Compo CM's are two 30 second advertisements for an album called Hyper Robot Compo Creation. As the intent of a commercial is to create intrigue surrounding the product that is being advertised, I can say that it did a fine job of doing just that. The first CM displays a woman and a robot staring out to a vast golden high-tech sci-fi city, all accompanied by space opera music. Although the copy of the CM I watched was very pixelated, it was clear that a great deal of attention to detail was given to the illustrations. The second CM presents imagery of ... a man and woman in fighting gear, rotoscoped in a similar way to the Take on Me music video with a very sketchy style.

However, given that the runtime is only one minute long and that the project holds little relevance in today’s era, there’s no value in watching it. The visuals are cool, and the music is fine, but unless you’re trying to complete Gainax’s catalogue, there’s no real reason to watch this.

Final Scorings:
Animation: 6/10 (Cool backgrounds, rotoscoping)
Sound: 6/10 (Space opera music)
Value: 1/10 (Irrelevant)
Enjoyment: 4/10 (Cool but too short to be invested)
Overall: 4.25/10 ~ 4/10 (Bad)
