I'll try my best to give an honest, fair review for this short film.

Story 5/10: The story takes place in the far off future of 2200 when angels have descended from heaven due to overcrowding, making more space for human souls to ascend to the afterlife. These angels with no where to go show themselves to school children and engage in their classroom culture and our story follows a group of girls that have had such a thing happen to them and the results of them growing up with celestial beings. Now I won't spoil too much, but there's a lot that this angel shows ... our protagonists during this short flick that made me smile.

Art 2/10: Honestly the character designs and the animation are the weakest point of this movie, there isn't really much to say other than that they look like somebody just drew a first draft of them and decided to roll with it and what animation there is looks like they couldn't get some intern to draw any keyframes, probably because they were busy looking for a job that didn't make them work on stuff like this.

Sound 3/10: The voice acting of this motion picture really suited the characters and the ending song was soothing after the ocular barrage of watching it, but the sound effects really took me out of it every time I heard them

Characters 5/10: For what it's worth, this photoplay had a good characters, they could have done with a bit more depth, but if I say much more, I'll probably spoil at least a minute of the runtime with each word, so I'll leave it at that.

Enjoyment 1/10: This Cinerama isn't really for me, I couldn't really say I enjoyed it myself, but it definitely got a laugh out of me from time to time.

Overall 3/10: Tenshi no drop is an odd one, but It's not something I could recommend to anyone really. It's only five or so minutes long, so if you think you'll like it, give it a try, you might think it's kino.

Story 7/10:
Tachibanakan Love-to-Lie Triangle takes place in an alternate universe where the Hojo clan triumphed over all of the others during the Sengoku period, which in turn allowed the offspring of Hojo Soun's concubines to spread across the nation in the following years, spreading the 'yuri' gene to their daughters. The story takes place in the early 18th century, showing the effects that these lesbian genes have had on the nation in it's premature industrial revolution. The men of this world at some point in history were subjugated to a caste system where they were at the bottom, forcing them to work long, hard hours ... and as a result caused the technology of Japan to advance far faster than in our own world. This is an easy to miss detail, but is reinforced by the only male characters being the plumber, and people working the stands at the festival. Our story follows six young women and their coming of age as they find the true meaning of love in this world.

Art 6/10:
Love Tachibananakan Tri-Angle uses a similar style to most shorts, utilizing the usual moe-blob visuals to appeal to those of us who like 'girls-love'. I would have liked a little more effort put into the backgrounds however, but for a short anime like this, it was pretty standard.

Sound 10/10:
Nothing about the sound effects in Tabichichan Triangle-Lie-Angle used broke my immersion, the voice acting really fit the character. I was a little sad that the cicadas didn't make their usual sound, but it is what it is. The real deal is the ending, I have a feeling that song is going to be stuck in my head for a few weeks now.

Characters 7/10:
Tabatriangle Lie-Anakan love really made good use of showing a wide range of character architypes that we see in many other anime, and then shows us how they interact in such a different world than our own. It could be seen that they are generic architypes, and while this is true, it allows us to understand said characters and better understand their place in this alternate universe's setting.

Enjoyment 9/10:
Tri-Love Tachibana's Angle had me hooked right the way through it, so much that I watched the entire show in one sitting. I really enjoyed their subtle ways of uncovering the mystery of this strange world to us, the viewer by introducing plot elements gradually, yet not at such a pace for it to become a slog to get through. It especially had me glued to the screen trying to figure out the motives of each and every character as I watched episode after episode.

Overall 7/10:
For the final score I had to look at it from an outside point of view. I gave the score I did because while I enjoyed The Triangle of Tachibanakan's Lie, I can easily see why it wouldn't be for everyone, it's the sort of show that takes a few rewatches to really uncover everything this show has to offer.

Story 9/10:
I honestly think that the story was what carried Pan de Peace. There are many interpretations, but I will try to give my own here in summary. Pan de Peace takes place in an alternate timeline to our own in which a mutated strain of the Panama disease caused a plague on all of humanities crops, notably fruit and vegetables were the hardest hit. The result of this being that only cereal grains were able to be grown in the now tainted soils of the planet. The story follows our titular protagonists years after the initial plague as humanity are trying to get along ... with their lives. Bread is one of the few foods that can be afforded by the commoner, hence why the characters try to make the best of a bad situation by trying different breads. The show does a great job of masking these sad and bittersweet undertones with it's cutesy plot, creating a breathtaking experience for the viewer. Without spoiling too much, Pan de Peace really makes you feel a mix of emotions as you watch the pureness of youth making the best of this dying world, knowing they can't delay the end, The final episode hitting the hardest of all.

Art 4/10:
Not the strongest part of the anime. The characters sometimes look like they're melting in places, but I guess this is just what people refer to as "Mo-Blobs"

Sound 3/10:
Other than the opening which was sub-par at best, the soundtrack was forgettable for me.

Characters 7/10:
Pan de Peace features a wide range of different character types which really helps complete the world and make it feel alive, every character has their own motives and goals, and they manage to jam pack so much development into each and every one, fleshing them out in such short time.

Enjoyment 5/10:
I found it hard to truly enjoy this show. I went in with practically zero expectations, and was pleasantly surprised by the characters and the fleshed out world and lore, but those were the only elements really carrying the show.

Overall 5/10:
If you enjoy cute "Mo-Blobs", I'd probably recommend this to you instantly. But for anyone else, it's hard to suggest this show. Yes, the story remarkable and an experience I would love to share, but it really depends on how much you can allow poor animation and sometimes unreliable pacing be your window into this exciting world.
