Just like I did in my review for the first Genius Party, i'll give a rating for each short then an overall rating.

1. Gala - 8
2. Moondrive - 8
3. Wanwa the Puppy - 7
4. Tojin Kit - 8
5. Dimension Bomb - 9

Unlike the first Genius Party where 3 of the shorts were bad and the other 4 were good, Genius Party Beyond doesn't have a single bad short. Wanwa the Puppy is the weakest of the shorts, mainly because the animation style can be a tad off putting at times, but it's still a good short. Gala, Moondrive and Tojin Kit are very good, but ... the best short is Dimension Bomb. It's hard to put into words how great of a short it is, you simply have to experience it yourself and see what you think. Even though I felt like I wanted more than just 5 shorts (the first film had 7), I think Genius Party Beyond is a step up from it's predecessor.

Overall Rating - 8

I'll keep this simple. I'll give a rating for each short then an overall rating.

1. Genius Party - 8
2. Shanghai Dragon - 9
3. Deathtic 4 - 4
4. Doorbell - 5
5. Limit Cycle - 1
6. Happy Machine - 8
7. Baby Blue - 10

... Simply put, Genius Party had a great start and ending (obviously Baby Blue and Shanghai Dragon being the standouts), but a bad middle (with Limit Cycle being the worst). If you are planning to watch this then please skip Limit Cycle it's awful, I can't stress that enough. Overall this was a good anthology series that I would recommend simply for the experience alone.

Overall Rating - 7
