Its was fine. Sure the story was confusing and was interesting how there was no voice acting again.
The animation has Oofuji's typical animation style, which again in this case wasn't that ugly, and kinda fit the narrative.
Again the story was existant. And despite normally complaining about the narrator, here I did miss her, I'm sure the story would make a lot more sense with narrator.
the characters were okay, nothing to specific. Although what does Oofuji have problems with dogs?
You can either watch it or skip it. You won't miss much if you don't watch it, yet again it's bad or boring so if interested can

Now this was really adorable. Sure the narrator did have an annoying voice, but still loved it.
The animation gave me a bit of old Disney vibey. So would work also as a western animation. Dunno if it was orginally like that, or lost in time, but it did look like that there was audio missing, or was it without audio and narrator was added later. The character were quit good and really adorable. If you would be interested check it out and don't let the score tell you it's bad. Due to it's adorablenes it did made me tear up quit a bit, but really in a good way.

This was quit adorable and interesting. I guess the director his kids to sing, maybe even based on kids school festival. I did have a feeling of kinda this being RL. Loved the puppet like animation, well except for one creepy imigary, but luckyly its short.
Theer sadly is no story behind this anime so dont's expect the deep and compley story, just a kid singing. The music is pretty sweet, and the singing is quit sweet too. Character wise...again since that seems more like just an animated shool festival it's hard to rate charcters. But still it's one of the hidden gems in anime history so It's worth ...

Immediatly knew it's Yasuji Murata's work since you can immediatly recoknize his art style. It's a nice anime, well accept for a vertain scene after which I so badly wanted for the monkey to all die. Otherwise the story is great, the music this time does fit into the film. There also is a bit of "voice" acting, well only the pup barking. The characters are okay, nothing special but not too blend, again the animation is the part why it gets a 9, really saves the whole film. If you would be interested I do recomend to give it a watch, it really

This was quit fun to watch. Sure the music was quit repetative, but the story was easy to follow along. The animation was quit beatiful. Altough what I missed was that they would explain what the lump was, that was a bit confuding. Also not much action going on, but again it wasn't that bad. The characters are likable I guess, not that much character work, but still a fun and entertaining journy through time definatly didn't regreat watching it. And again for the music not saying that it was bad, just repetative, and definatly not that whimsical as other Yasuji Murata works, specially as

This was quit adorable to watch. Now don't be confused at first time since it starts as a live action film, it does turn into anime soon. Kinda shame it has short run time. it's beatifully animated, the music is quit sweet and whimsical. Sure I missed voice acting here, but on other hand probbaly would ruin the emersion. Aso you do have a quick stop motion sequence which also is quit beatiful. The characters are quit entertaining. I just hope that the live action part is not just a fake film adaptation and behind the scenes there's something much darker, but its did

This was kinda boring, and again watching without subtittles didn't help to understand the story. Gotta admit that the animation is probably the most beatiful from the Noburou Oofuji cycle from the ones I curently watched. And that's a bit of the saving grace. The voice actor as from the others films of his work is just one and the same woman. And as previus she didn't get any better, the same voice for every character, no matter age and gender. I really always went into Noburou Oofuji works without any expectations, more with intrest and hoping to enjoy it.

This one was a bit weird, the music and story were fine, but the animation sometimes was a bit cluncky, and definatly would need text what's going on. Now like I said for couple, I dunno if some get lost during the restervation of the film, or was like that originally, also again one of the shortest so I know they wanted to crame quit a lot in it. But I was quit interested to see this anime. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the animation would be+ad or ugly, just weird. So you can check it out, but definatly not one

Now this is how you do animal lympics the right way. Way better that the american Animalympics. It was cute, sweet, adorable, animated perfectly. I do miss the voice acting, and I know I complain a lot about missing voice acting in the first animes, but it is a bit annoying that some do have voice acting, or music, and then the next is complete silent film. The animation is quit beatiful, although a bit janky at time. There is also a bit of a weird cut. And I guess they wanted to capture the feeling of one of the earlier modern Olympic games,

Now this was completly fine film. Sure it lacked voice acting, which made the story a bit confusing, specially the ending, and there are some weird jump cuty. but it's still quit good. And yes the animation can be creepy at some points, but again, dosen't ruin the enjoyment that much. The characters are done quit good, and despite what I said about the story and lack of voice acting, the story is quit enjoyable and easy to follow. And dunno if orriginally it was short or if part of it got lost through time and that's why it has weird jump cuts.
