This one-shot is 4 minutes long (with end credits).
Well this felt more like trailer for anime or demo reel then actual anime but in the same time they never advertised this as more than experimental short.
Also I don't have 4k TV so that's that.
What about positives? I definitely appreciate effort to make 4K HDR anime because I can imagine this wasn't easy task and overall animation looked nice, if only there was more story to add context to what is happening.
My score for this "episode" 3/5 - Like I said earlier I don't have 4k TV so I couldn't appreciate animation to the fullest, so
...
without a plot the only thing I can rate is animation (and its fluidity), art style (which was not bad but nothing special) and music (which was forgettable).
Even right now I have hard time to remember more than a few scenes. So I can easily imagine that in a few days I will completely forget about this anime.
Like Jeremy Jahns would said "T-minus 1 Day, already forgotten"
Overall score for Sol Levante 7/10 - Mainly for effort.
I recommend also to watch "Behind the scenes" on Netflix yt channel, these videos are honestly more interesting (and longer) than actual anime.
