Is the video page broken for anyone else?


Takanobu Mizuno is the director of this short and he works at Kamikaze Douga, which is the company responsible for the opening animation of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" (2012) and the two seasons of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders".

The writer for this short is Goichi Suda, also known as Suda51. He is the CEO of the video gaming developing company Grasshopper Manufacture, which has put out titles such as "Lolipop Chainsaw" and "Killer is Dead" in recent years.

Takayuki raised his own death flag, tbh. That Mega Canon was weird as hell.

That'd explain why Tokio's power looked similar to Za Warudo, although it was nowhere near as epic as the original.

that was entertaining, they are either using 2D or 3D animation in each scene

Wow, so many different animation styles!
My favourite scene was the 2d animated first person view scene when the robo served the tea.

Awesome space-dragon became a cute space-kitty.

"How bad is it?"
"Unfortunately, it already made it past Uranus."

Below average episode.

I'd guess this was about experimenting with changing from one kind of animation to another over and over rather than anything else.

Weirdest cannon shot I've ever seen.
Would seem the girl was blind, not sure if Tokyo was an alien or maybe something else.

Was somewhat interesting.

If I knew Suda51 was behind this I would have gotten back to watching them a lot sooner. He needs to work on a full series asap, he just can't fully shine with a short.

Well, that was just... weird. I get it they wanted to fit in as many different styles as possible but it didn't quite work as a whole.

I dunno, if you want to do short with impact on viewers first, make sure your piece makes sense at least.

And no, this doesn't qualify even as a dream.

That is some wicked hair. Then there was that Voices of a Distant Star feel. Also, I saw at least four different types of animation in this one short. Whoa. Then the Earth was under attack. Then the giant cannon that fired what was essentially rainbow puke and unintelligible junk. Then the sparkles. And then the monster was a space kitten. Then the boy carried the girl off to Neverland which was a prism moon with a smiley face on it.

Uh. So from Takanobu we got the flamboyancy and from Suda51 we got...everything else. That explains so much.

Experimental animation is more like it. That cow cannon turned that space dragon into a Sailormoon cat. This short was weird ,_,

Time for a dance party~ *spazzes while on the phone*
