This short is weird, to put it simply. There isn't really a story or plot, this is just a ten minute view of a world. And what a world! A distopian landscape of dead trees and corpses inhabited by monstrous insects, flying leviathans and unfortunate people. The people are dismembered, used as hosts for insect larvae, and are frequently eaten and defecated. If you've ever seen the hell scenes by Hieronymus Bosch, particularly the Garden of Earthly Delights, there is great similarity. The work also echos the misfortune of Edward Gorey's cartoons and the absurdities of Monty Python.If you liked any of these, give it a try.
That was an awesome animation about the animators nightmares, it was made in the 70s one guy made, excellent animation the backgrounds are all surreal. Seems like nature is telling the guy "watch out for parasites and shit" great stuff if only more people would animate their nightmares. Btw for those who think that the animation is shit, note that it was all done by one man in the 70s who had limited equipment so appreciate his ability to tranlate his dream onto paper I doubt you could do the same.
I gave it a 1 time was not 10 minutes but more 9 minutes and 30 seconds This is not anime but art no vocals the music is that of a dream sequence much like the art The art even though i hated this had some pros and cons. If you want good test if you can handle strange events trying watching this. Warning it can make you ill. Some cons. The animation was repetitive. The artist(s) kept using transformation in their work. There was no story line. Sure there was some follow threw with some of the sketches but mostly you are jumping back and forth between things.some pros: there was color used when it could have been used with just black and white. It showed promise of the artist(s) being good in the future of horror. The music used matched the arts design. The message behind this piece i think was no matter what life creates for you there is no escaping destiny. Which is quite a depressing message. I hope i am wrong on that. Then again the artwork wasn't a and they live happy ever after story.
Well, this actually ended up being one of Kuri Yoji's better works that I've seen thus far. Still that's not saying much. The art is a step above his other productions, but still doesn't look great. I thought the monster designs were interesting, but everything looks really rough, and things still don't move fluidly whatsoever. The story is basically nonexistant. In true Kuri Yoji fashion, weird things just happen one after the other. While you're watching it, you're not really sure what's going on. It's also one of his longest shorts, being 10 minutes long... and by the end, the whole thing has overstayed it's welcome, sincenothing has really happened at all. The soundtrack isn't compelling, but it also isn't offensively bad, just really really bland. I'd say the sound effects are also kind of bland, but to take it a step further, the sound effects are pretty lacking. Overall, this is just a poorly made little short which has some interesting, strange, elements to it, but it fails to capitalize on these elements whatsoever.
Kuri Yoji has caught my attention before. I have heard of a few of his titles. But didn't bother to watch any until recently. He is considered, "one of, if not the most important figures in the history of Japanese independent animation", which, I will admit, doesn't really strike as true when you first look into his works. To be fair, you need to understand that this is quite odd stuff, so the time in which you watch his works matters, that isn't to say it becomes impossible to enjoy them for what they should have been, you just need to know what they areabout. One of his titles I found off of YouTube comments, it is named "寄生虫の一夜" (The Midnight Parasites), which I heard good things about is something I decided to take a look into. Let's have a look at what I got from it, and what you can get too. The story is odd, strange, weird. It doesn't make sense, or at least, it doesn't on the surface, but I found it to basically just be a theme, no real story, but just entities doing stuff. That stuff seemed to come under what would probably make sense to call the cycle of life. With these parasites, these unearthly creatures, basically just feeding off of things, then doing some nonsense, then dying off, creating something new to enjoy this odd world. It is casually dark, and casually disgusting, not really taking in any care as to what it is presenting, making for some pretty good natural scenes that went wherever it wanted to go. Some more deep thought is that this world seemingly has had this order for a long time, with there being leftovers visible as you look on the scenery, I find it hard to believe this may be a coincidence so it comes to question, and praise, of what is this world really. A surreal, though normal way for these people to live? Who knows? As for audiovisuals, the art is obviously old, I liked the animation though and the character design was cartoon-ish. For its time, it isn't really static or retro either, it does indeed feel like something ahead of its time, which I find a good achievement. The soundtrack was surreal, it has this way of playing that would make you feel as if you were watching a conspiracy theory about aliens or something along those lines, which of course is very fitting for something like this. Very good stuff. I enjoyed this, mostly because it was senseless, but hey I made something out of it, I may be wrong. I would imagine most people would probably not enjoy this, as maybe the themes may go over their heads because of how silly this can get, though, maybe you can find something out of it. Would recommend for those looking for something very random and extremely unique, outside of mainstream random unique. Or if you want "so dumb it's clever". Overall - 7.8 (8) (Click "Overall Rating" for score breakdown)
