| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- About 3 minutes long and all in black & white style. I got some thrills watching this with the old school atmosphere. What an ending though! |

| Where did you watch it? |
| I think I found the first anime I'll give a 1/10 to... Wow. Haskalah said: Where did you watch it? Search for the Japanese title on Google and filter it for the last 24 hours and you'll find it right away. |

Paulo27 said: I think I found the first anime I'll give a 1/10 to... Wow. Care to tell me what you found so wrong with it?Just curious. I think it was really interesting and I got exactly what I expected from it.But maybe that's just me as someone who likes experimental shorts :) It feels like a really old cartoon and I liked the bits of live action footage. This short could bring up some questions of morality...we'll see. |

| nope not subbed yet, but if you have a medicore japanese knowledge u can watch the raw. it met my expectations, with the ge ge ge no kitaro vibe, eerie soundtrack and an unexpecting ending. but still 6/10 |

| Interesting stuff. |
 |
| Damn, that was quite the twist at the end. Santa killed the old man instead of the bad guys, but it was justified since the bombs he was about to set off would've killed surrounding innocent people as well. Enma sent the right person to the human world to monitor their behaviors. The overlapping of 2D and 3D is pretty awful though.. |
 |
| I give this 2 out of 10 because it is horrible in every aspect... except it was short.. |
 |
| wat |
| Nice little experiment. They succeed in transporting that special showa flair(maybe it's just me, but showa and taisho era film is pretty often creepy as all hell) and the anime sequences, while not that good or entertaining in itself mix pretty well with the footage. This is more a mood piece than anything else. |
| In 9/10 cases, the worst thing about an anime is its fandom. |
Vindstot said: The overlapping of 2D and 3D is pretty awful though.. That's probably the point, as it's implementing animation of old. Sure, Warner Bros. did a better job the few times they had animation with live-action (in the 40s, no less), but this is Japanese animation we're talking about. It wasn't the best animation in the world at a time when Disney, MGM, and Warner Bros. ruled animation, if only because they didn't have the same resources we did. So for an experimental short, I liked it. I hope we'll get the same quality throughout the show, but they might surprise us. |

| It was the old man OMG |
| This was really cool. Loving the dark vibes this anime gives (from the setting and story) and the black and white coloring adds to it. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| I thought gogo try to lure me to watch older anime. Interesting. |
| . |
| this must be the season for short anime. |
| Well it's certainly interesting, if not for just the use of old footage. |
 |
| Apart from the hater of the art, I need to add the story seems to be episodic as it is a short. To deliver such a nice plot twist in a short I am amazed :P Who would've thought it was the old man ?! I am liking this. |
 I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons, if you were you wouldn't be on MAL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| I barely even log in to MAL but I came here just to try to find a subbed ep 2. I loved the first one. The multimedia effect of the film footage and retro style anime was cool and the plot was downright eerie--especially for a 3 minute short. I need to find eps 2 and 3 subbed! |
| Solid bet for Winter: Sekkou Boys |
| Not bad, not bad. Keep it up. |
| Wow I wasn't expecting that at all at the end. It was really interesting, I liked the twist and the overall tone of the series. |
| Hahahah I don't even know what to expect off of this anime anymore. Those first 10 seconds ππππ I was dead πππ This anime is supposed to look this old and shit right? Well job well done, I'll give it a 5 for the minor laugh they gave me. |
