| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I am typing this while still in the AX2013 premiere. It was pretty good- short, to the point, and colorful. Certainly had a similar theme to Yuasa's other works. Also, Tiger Mask, inspiration from pain and pleasure, etc. Edit because I can: More articulated thoughts are in the review that I posted. |

| I love how it was only 12 minutes but felt like a movie! Masaaki Yuasa just being his usual godly self. I got to be one the very very few who got to ask him a question, shook his hand, took a picture with him, got a "priority" autograph ticket (thanks Naruleach! I owe you one~), and got him to sign me a board with a portrait of Kaiba. Definitely the most memorable experiences I've ever had at AX. :) |
| holy shit upload it to the interwebz already please |
| http://i.imgur.com/JIUO3g6.jpg?1 I will cherish this more than my own photos. lol <3 |
| Definitely very happy I went to the screening at AX. It was very funny and I really hope Masaaki Yuasa makes more anime! @Alipio I'm glad you put my winning ticket to good use. I am so happy I shook his hand too :) Edit: Omg that signed poster is awesome! |

| Removed all the quote +1 posts. Carry on. |
| Just watched the download I got from backing this. I'm very pleased and satisfied. Very colorful and quite funny. The animation was far more fluid than I expected too which was a nice bonus. Way to go, Yuasa-san! |
| My first novel, Kardia has been published! Click here to read! |
| I loved it. It's really a shame it's not realistically possible to crowdfund a movie or series of Yuasa, I definitely believe he could've fleshed out an full-length movie out of this idea. But this short movie it was interesting, hilarious and beautifully animated. I would certainly pledge again for this kind of project. Here's hoping we don't need to wait forever for the next Yuasa project. |
| I just finished watching it. It was rather nice for what it was and I had lots of fun watching it. In a sense I wish it could've been longer because it was so playful and fun, but I'm perfectly happy with what we have. Good job, Yuasa! |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Loved it. Very much what I expected from Yuasa, venturing through the folds in vacuum fat was fantastically gross. Can't wait for my bluray version. |
 |
| It was wonderful! Definitely the best thing I watched this year. I'm super-glad I backed this. |

| Money well spent! |
| In 9/10 cases, the worst thing about an anime is its fandom. |
| beautiful, moving, insane, and funny as hell! like a breath of fresh wind amongst the stale farts of modern anime - once again i.g. comes to the rescue......would love to see this developed into a full length film/series - 10 o' 10! |
 |
| This was disappointing to say the least, coming from an esteemed director. Had way more fun watching Inferno Cop ( I know his is a strange comparison, but both anime are supposed to be fun, both are short, and both are low budget). |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| ANYWAY this was great. gorgeous + insane. i hope masaaki's next project is something much much longer |
| 1/10 I'm surprised this was made. |
| very insightful thankyou |
| Oh man, this was great, but it really diserved to be at least 26 minutes long, it's a shame the project ended up so short. I know he would have done a feature film if he could, but I still think he should have gone for 26 minutes right from the start, it might have been doable. |

| That was way sweeter than I expected. I liked it! |
 |
| Well, at least his other stuff still exists. |

| That was horrible. I kept hearing how funny this was. How? What was supposed to be funny? It was sloppy, and dumb. |
 |
| Not all anime has to have the typical art-style, it was different and I sure enjoyed it. Reminded me of Nacho Libre. |
  |
| So much creativity condensed in 12 minutes, that was a blast. The slightly unrefined yet distinctive artstyle really appealed to me and the animation, while being rough and sketchy, was incredibly dynamique and expressive, something I prefer to polished but static animation in regular tv anime. Props to the director, the cinematography and the usage of colours was brilliant. The sheer intensity of the final battle was simply mindblowing. Too bad we don't get to see this kind of stuff more often. |
 |
| I really don't see the appeal or the entertainment value in this at all. I thought this was just bland, terribly boring and just horrid. 1/10 |
| As a backer I am glad I rewatched this again, Yuasa's directing and artistic vision is always a wonderful thing to watch. Raito said: I really don't see the appeal or the entertainment value in this at all. I thought this was just bland, terribly boring and just horrid. 1/10 That's because you like Fate, Bleach, Naruto and Shingeki. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Don't know what to think of it, Unique animation and art style, quite confused whether I liked it or not, its really on a borderline :/ |
| *tags me in!* *tags* >Oh fuck. Lmao @ the referee. When it came to Lady S's pin, I blinked and it was over. Anyways yeah. Btw, anyone want to explain to me why some of the eyes of the characters are censored? |
 |
| This was wonderful! I'm shocked, to say the least, to see people who didn't like it on here! What the heck people! Is is because of Yuasa's style? |
| S&M, I got it... |
| That was strangely sweet although I totally laughed when she knocked herself out. xD |
 |

 |
| Definitely good, but not a masterpiece at all. 7/10 The art was unique, the concept too. The last fight was genuinely mindblowing and impressive. I wish it was a longer series. 15 mins are not enough. |
 |
| Woah. Not sure what to think about this, but it was worth 12 minutes. |

That was a pretty funny scene, probably the one I laughed at most. But he got what he wanted in the end at least! Overall this was entertaining and I loved all the colors. |

I wish it was a longer series. 15 mins are not enough. Agreed. I enjoyed watching it, the art was great, and the characters were likeable for how little they were able to be fleshed out. It was good 7/10, a little disappointed, but what can you do with 15min. It wasn't something where I felt like I wasted my time, but I doubt I'll ever rewatch it despite it being so short. |
| Meh, I didn't really like it all that much. 5/10 |
| Style over substance and childish humor. Not for me. |
 |
| It's a shame more people didn't back this project on Kickstarter so it could have been a 90 minute film. I could have easily watched this as a 90 minute film. I was too late to donate before I found out about this project. :( I don't care what the story is, I just love Masaaki Yuasa's direction style! Great work once again!

| This came on Toonami. The Surprise after Evangellion 2.22 You Can [Not] Advance. Something I did not expect to see on Toonami : 0. It was unique. I think the reason why they censored the eyes was because it represented them being rich/famous. In the beginning Juliet's eyes were seen but at the end it was censored. Masked Man M recognized her as Lady S. |
| My type of humor, I lol'd more than I thought I would. 8/10! |
| What the hell did I just watch?! Thank the goddesses that it was only 12 minutes. |
