| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- "Kanini & Kanino" Episode Discussion My least favorite out of the three shorts. I do find the river environment absolutely beautiful and there are some tender moments between the two crab children, but damn does it end anticlimactically. Also that CGI fish is really jarring, kinda reminds me of the 2012 Gyo, lol. |
| Omg yeah I can see the Gyo comparison as well. I did think the story in this one was pretty lacking but as a visual spectacle, I enjoyed it. Kind of a combo of Ponyo and Arrietty. |
 |
| I think this was an interesting concept but for some reason didn't flow or feel as complete even for a short. For some reason I knew deep down this was directed by Yonebayashi; all of his works leave me feeling like this was a draft of a final version. That CGI fish was WOAH though, I'm glad Ponoc is steering into good integration of the medium but it still could use some more polish. |
 |
| What a happy little crab family. |
 |
| Like the others: - great aquatic environment, - ugly CGI fish, giving it an eerie and alien look that suits the situation well, 3/5 An okay and pretty looking short coming -of-age. @Stripes Do you think this seems incomplete? Nerd_Zone1 said: i don't really see anything too unique compared to his other works ( because he's an established director). I never noticed something unique in his works. |

I'd say it was far too simple. Which is saying something cause I think shorts and simplicity really draws out the creativity. Something like the Pixar shorts with Bao and Kittybull brought me to tears. I guess the transparency of "i know where this is going" like no way the father is dead and of course the kids find him easily. The problem with Yonebayashi is that he doesn't tell very unique stories, they have good umbrella concepts which all his directorials are based off books like Arrietty, Marnie, and Mary but his translation of those concepts are weak and have no emotional tug on me whatsoever. Obviously the man has talent and vision but like I say with most these kinda talents, he needs someone to collaborate with and stay in his lane and pull his strengths. |

| This is like if A Bug's Life and Finding Nemo combined, and then were made into an anime lol. But man I gotta say in terms of visuals Studio Ponoc did an amazing job and I'm super excited to see how they develop as a studio |

| Beautiful to watch and listen to but it was very lighthearted to the point I felt nothing really happened, on to the second one. |
| That was good. I liked the river environment because it was really beautiful, especially the water. Moreover, the fish was good. |
 |
| Damn that was quite something, especially the second part! Really bittersweet if you ask me! Amazingly animated and quite the story! Really looking forwards to see what the following episodes will offer! |
 |
| Such beautiful animation... nicely made |
 |
| finding nemo meets arrietty. Nice, although the "bird ex-machina" was a bit forced. |
 |
| I feel this was made for a very young audience, and beyond the visuals there wasn't much else to enjoy. But the animation was great, especially the water. Bit of a letdown compared to Yonebayashi's other works, but it was still a nice watch with nothing to really complain about. |
| I feel stupid enough for nothing to understand the whole story this episode. Its lack the background story, lack of story details, and lack of voice acted to explain everything. Even it had no narrates. What could i do to understand this episode? Nothing. Damn. 2/10 for the storyline. Art, sounds felt nice, but its not enough, 7/10. Character were all a blank dot for me, 3/10. Enjoyment? Thanks for the art, this had a chance to keep in 5 scores. In the end, it should fixed a lot in 4.25 Edit: 5/10 must be good. Plus some addition to show my respect for the decision to had a nice little landscapes there. Thats it. |

 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| This was quite good. Surviving in nature is a very difficult thing, especially if there are predators that are much larger than you. The visuals were also really well done. |
 |
| Hmm i dunno i was a bit bored as it was indeed anticlimatic. If they kept the father dead, it would be a tearjerker. Now it felt a bit meh.. but even then, there was no attachment to any or background to em.. Also cgi fish bothered me too, usually cgi is noticeable but this was beyond just noticeable >< Nice visuals indeed. But still.. i wont judge yet as there are 2 more shorts :) |
