Visually stunning, but I still have a hard time understanding what's going on Morimoto's mind. It doesn't appeal to me that much but I recognize his talent though.

I just finished it... and I searched the web,and no luck in getting any kind of explanation, so I rewatched it, and still nothing... maybe it has something to do with that boy, being an alien, and that girl, sort of, teaching him how to be human, with the cliche of "knowing the good and the bad inside you"....sort of like Pinocchio... at the end he turned into a real boy, didn't he?

I don't think it's made just for visual enjoyment, there must be a story behind! :D
Anyone else?

Hauntingly beautiful. I loved the 'breaks' in this one. Other than that, it was total chaos, as if it were taking you on a roller-coaster ride through the depths of some deranged mind.

Koji Morimoto is a genius, that much should be clear. "Dimension Bomb" is impressive in many ways and it certainly deserves to be rewatched several times, as it's quite hard to grasp all metaphors and symbolism. I especially liked the art direction, which is sort of in line with his former projects.

Sadly I had to watch this episode in raw form, so I couldn't understand most of what was going on.

First of all the comments in this thread and the others make me wonder what we're talking about.
MAL database says that episode 2 is "Moondrive" so I'll go with that.

This one was great, story was fun, artwork was very good and I also really liked the character designs.

IMO Genius Party Beyond definitely is superior to the first one. Wanwa the Puppy wasn't too great, and so was Dimension Bomb, but they were not bad. Toujin Kit was also good, and this and Gala were simply amazing.
I probably regret this post by now.

Yeah I'm a bit confused too, everybody here seems to be talking about Dimension Bomb which was listed here in MAL as episode 5.

Anyway "Moondrive" made me LOL a lot even though it's only 14 minutes short, the four idiots went around the moon for nothing! And the poor bitch has been sexually abused in more ways than one in that short time too! XD

Uh, I didn’t like Moondrive too much. It was a tad silly, if you ask me. Maybe it’s because I disliked the artwork.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

This one (Moondrive) was great. The art style and music were both awesome and somehow worked well together. Who would have thought polish folk music would suit the moon....
And anyway the quick pace ensured constant enjoyment, and the style reminded me somewhat of Yuasa Masaaki which is of course a good thing

The visuals were as original as in his other short work and the plot similarily twisted. Still, I think it was a lot funnier overall and I enjoyed it even though at first I wasn't sure if I would. 4/5

I like how they make you feel for the characters in just under 15mins, and this one certainly achieved that.

Interesting visual style with a rather down to earth story. The ending was funny.

eh the style of this one was super cool, but can't say much great about the narrative, what little of there was.

something with this style with a more compelling story could be something truly special
