| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I thought this short was pretty good. It did suffer a bit from a few uninteresting scenes, but the battle was cool, and the ending was pretty moving. |

| Overall just a plotless, random bunch of mecha and war, anyway, the animation was fine & the end was pretty sad. I also liked the ending song. Never seen such crappy doctors, btw. :-| |
 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| It was plotless, but I still found a deep meaning in it, a depressing ending and a superb animation for the war. |
 |
| wow the ending song was just scary lol |

| Quite good, I thought it would just be some plotless battle, but the end was kinda surprising. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Mindless fire exchange for the most part in a somehow senseless fight. I didn’t even know what I was watching. Holds some deep meaning as it was showed to the end, though. I know it was serious but I couldn’t stop a chuckle escaping me at the: “Taichoooouuuu~!” “Kakitaaaaa~!” “Sasajimaaaaaa~!” It just seemed too out of place. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| This one was a strange ova and I don't think it had any meaning... 2/5 |
 |
| I liked this one. The deep effects that the war had on him. I liked the light of the goggles and the firing against the dark background. The battle was also averagely interesting. Makes me yearn for a good new war anime. |

| A dying man (retired soldier I presume) unable to free his mind from the horrors of war even in his dying moments... Horrifying in a way. |
 |
| this one was ok the music at the end was pretty good |
 |
| Animation was far better than what I've seen so far. |

| They didn't make the short clear enough to deserve more than 3/5. Their animation style is pretty good though. Just need to make it clear regarding characters, cause, I didn't either figure out who the protagonist was, or that the whole thing was a flash-back. |
 |
| I didnt get this one so yeah :/ |

 |
| I would say on this one weird because the story was little to go on, next minute he waz fighting and the next dead. |

| Nice art. They were trying to say something about the meaningless and futility of war maybe? They don't tell us if we're watching the "good" or "bad" guys. It is just random soldiers fighting an apparently meaningless fight. Maybe they're trying to say that's all war is? Random soldiers fighting meaningless fights? I dunno... |
 |
on 
| Along the lines of All's Quiet on the Western Front and Johnny Got His Gun. Futility of war and the horror of being a soldier in one. The last soldier died seeing the terrible cost of that battle and just because his facial muscles relaxed at death, the doctors think he died in peace. What a farce......but that was the point. Very nicely done. |
