Pretty creepy and gloomy... and the animation reminds me of Metal Slug, for some reason.

Wow, this was, somehow, really creepy, I liked it :3
"In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH

Very nice art style. The story was sketchy but nice, it also felt kind of rushed though.

I like how the stage of war itself can be so comically portrayed. Truly its all a farce in this life. The art style was enjoyable during the first person shots. The atmosphere at such times was palpable. Still though, this gets no more than 6/10

Well, though it had real potential, it wound up being a big steaming pile of MEH!

This seemed to have the bare bones of something great. War story, with the view point of a reporter who once lived there, the child snatchers are making medicinals out of the kids. I mean it's loose but with a tigheter story and getting rid of the framing device and narration all together would've upped it's quality A LOT.

The textures didn't bother me, I think it has something akin to a cool Masaaki Yuasa styled piece. But reminds me of a first draft.

I liked the art style for this, it was quite unique and stylish. Everything else was pretty fine.

Slightly jumbled but such is trauma. Beautiful art direction, colors, animation, sound, etc.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
