The project contains a lot of shorts all with their vision on what anime can be. What is possible to express and how. The show was accompanied with a website showing parts of the makingoff for each episodes. Going trough a variety of aesthetics and giving chances for new directors to be well supported. Also aiming for high quality storyboard and narration. You dont waste time with episodes. And always are sure to see something well done for what it is aiming to achieve. Its advised to skip the opening before each episodes and watches them separately. I personally recommend as stand alone narratives: 03: MEMEME : Probably the most disturbing one with high quality atmospheres and very immersive. Quite disgusting but rewarding for the ones who will take the time to rewatch it until understanding the whole narrative. 11: POWER PLANT : Slow paced episode require to have time to explore a well crafted universe with its whole sociology medias inhabitants technology. Convening quite simple message. It remain one of the most breath taking. 25: HAMMERHEAD : definitely my favorite with its 90s like aesthetic. A crude story of generational conflicts. And how the golden generation cant understand what their parents the sacrificed generation has created has a value system. 28: ENDLESS NIGHT : Great focus on character and animation trough simplified backgrounds while using efficient camera motions. A whole show about change psychological one but also on the artistic direction side. 01: The Dragon Dentist : The deep war fiction. Creating a whole rich universe. Amazing work on pacing and atmospheres. 31: GIRL : The kind of following of mememe even if maybe it was just a late change choice still something to enjoy the joy of cracking the code. While being colorful and immersive. As musical videos: 08: Tomorrow from there : wholesome. 10: YAMADELOID : fun. 19: I can Friday by Day : cute. With good artistic direction: 04: Carnage : the one episode to show about post processing. With various effects of lights and shadows. Creating characters with flaws and disabilities a great works on realism. 14: SEX and VIOLENCE with MACHSPEED: Gainax is dead long live gainax. 27: BUBU BUBULINA: very western aesthetic and quite cryptic. Overall good. 35: Cassette Girl: thats how we do 3D 02: HILL CLIMB GIRL: thats how we do backgrounds. 12: Evangelion: Another Impact: realistic evangelion. 18: The Diary of Ochibi: thats stop motion With good animation: 34: Robot on the Road : its directed and partly animated by okiura. 06: 20min Walk From NishiOgikubo Station : there is ohira. As a good joke 29: BUREAU OF PROTO SOCIETY
