Wow, this short was really something special, a nice story with a nice soundtrack.

Story - 9/10
Normally, with anime's shorter than 10min, you never truly get to know the characters, it's always over just as you start to get into it. This though, it's about a long distance love story. A quick summary would be: The man is always trying to come see the one he loves but he awlays has something stopping him, whether it be work or he's sick. As the song goes on, they get older and they start meeting up more. The rest I leave to you to watch.

Art - 10/10
The art ... is none short of perfect, calming and fits the story perfectly, nothing more to say here.

Sound - 9/10
There is no dialogue, per se. The two characters sing a song about their relationship, and it's simply amazing. The tune is catchy, the lyrics are well written, the voices are perfect.

Characters - 8/10
There are only 2 characters, so can focus your attention on them and not any side-characters, but again, the video is only 5min long, so it pretty much evens it out. Still, you grow to quite like the characters over the short period of time, even with the only dialogue being singing.

Enjoyment - 8/10
Taking everything into account, this really was a nice watch. I really do reccomend you view it, it's only five minutes so it wont take up lots of your time.

For this review, there isnt really much to go off on, as it's pretty much two animators singing about how much they love Japanese Animations.

Story - 4/10
As I just said, there isn't much "story", it's just a short animation with occasional pictures showing an animation studio and the people in it. Nonetheless, it was quite entertaining to follow along on the little journey. I onlny give it 4/10 because of the lack of story due to it only being about 3 minutes long.

Art - 10/10
As always, Wit Studio always comes in first with the art. There's nothing to complain about here.

Sound - 9/10
Even though there ... was no speaking, I quite liked the Rock n' Roll song, by Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai.

Characters - 5/10
The only characters are the people in the rock band and the 2 'main characters'. They seem quite simple, and I can't help but see a small ressemblance in between the female character and Hange, from Attach on Titan

Enjoyment - 7/10
Taking all of this into account, i still quite enjoyed this little short rock animation.

Magi: The Kingdom of Magic, though sometimes a bit hard to follow because of its largely politial derivation, is nonetheless an interesting and entertaining story.

Art - 9/10
The animation is nothing out of the ordinary, this said, it's still beautifully animated.

Sound - 8/10
Nothing really to say here, no complaints nor suggestions, it was good enough for me.

Characters 7/10
Some characters are easily liked, while others take awhile to get attached to. For example some characters who have malicious intent, are still being treated as innocent, and this can carry out over multiple episodes and given the low number of episodes, this can be a bad thing. ... So, in conclusion the viewer doesn't know wether to instantly like or dislike the character, which in a way is a good thing for it avoids prejudice, and a bad thing at the same time.

Story/Enjoyement - 7/10
Personally, I never got fully into into the Magi story, although entertaining I never found pure joy in watching it, i'm not at all implying that the story is dull or stale. So, from my perspective, the story can either be liked or disliked depending on each viewer, like any other show.

Though short, taking everything into account, it's still an underrated masterpiece. So all in all, I would say it's worth the watch.
