5/10. It was really pretty though.

I don't know why so many people associate mindfuck=high scores. Just because it is trippy doesn't mean it is amazing.

Well that was pretty cool. It also made no fucking sense whatsoever. So are there any plans for an actual series? Because I'd love to watch that.

No rating since it obviously can't be considered an actual show/movie/whatever and is not complete.

I did! But the story was...confusing. I guess a 25 min OVA isn't enough, I would love to see more of it. It was really interesting and entertaining but still...

That was definitely too much to squeeze into a show less than half an hour long. The art and the concept is great and it's loosely based on Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There. I'd love it if this gets a full season.

Cool. Though they cut out a lot of parts that were in the trailer. Actually, the trailer may have been cooler than this ONA itself now that I think about it.

For those who are confused, this is Toei Animation's imagining of Lewis Carroll's 1871 work Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (Wikipedia, original text), which is said to be a sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, published in 1865. Yes, it's very fast-paced and choppy, but the parallel themes are there.

The English poem at the beginning of the episode is popularly known as "A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky" through its first line, though it actually has no title. The first letter of each line in the poem spells out the name of Alice Pleasance Liddell, the namesake of Lewis Carroll's protagonist.


FANTASTIC !!

I'm not bothered by mysteries hanging in the air and a chaotic presentation. The thing is... the direction a mess. It just kept jumping from one scene to another, adding random stuff, just for the sake of confusion. That's neither original nor cool, but plain annoying. So yeah, a long trailer in the end.

6.5/10 because the action scenes were quite amazing and the visuals didn't fail either.

I went to watch this as fast as I could when I knew about this^ (Just started reading that book, I guess I should watch it again when I finish the book >_<)

Ah, I wanted a series for this ..at least a higher quality version...please?

I've seen some stuff that reminded me of Paprika (the parade), Summer Wars (fast art style), FLCL (Wackyness) and Shin Chan (Jokes)

In the end I still don't know what everything was about.

The animation style was nice though.

Am I the only one who understood it? It's not confusing at all.

Here is an explanation (beware of the spoilers):
A girl and two boys (the boys are not human) end up away from home (maybe they are at the other side of the mirror). That place is Kyoto, and there are a lot of spirits, gods and demons wandering around the town. They want to go back, but the only lead they have is the black bunny. While they are there, a monk takes care of them, and they hunt evil spirits.
The city is "controlled" by two brothers and their sister: a monk (younger brother), a saint (elder brother) and a demon (sister, who rules at the other side of the bridge, where demons live). Their mother left the town a long time ago, and after that, there were no more festivals. But since Koto appeared in town, everyday has been like a festival, just like before, so they think she is her reincarnation (or, maybe more accurately, her other self in the mirror). The demon and the saint then make a trial for her to check if they are right, and to bring back their mom, although the monk disagrees (one may think that he is in love with Koto by what her sister says to him while they fight). Koto fights with a giant robot (controlled by a girl on the shrine with a PSP-like controller). Shit happens, and Lady Koto comes back and saves Koto after kissing her.

The only thing I don't get is the Fox-girl. She appears from time to time, and in the end, cuts a rainbow-like sphere (in the exact moment Koto is eaten by the robot).

Anyway, it was awesome: awesome plot, and awesome art. 9/10

Ugh ... I HATED Penguindrum ... on the other hand, this was just my right kind of random and nonsensical. Is it Hell? Who the Hell knows? It was fun as hell :)

... Dammit, now I'm having Sacred 7 flashbacks. :P

On an unrelated note, this is my 200th completed anime ... I sure picked a random one, didn't I?

Really liked the art style, but there were some parts that felt kinda weird (directing and pacing wise). Still, going to give it a 7/10.

At first it reminded me of FLCL, but this is even crazier than that.

I thought it was fairly boring until the end. The art style is really intriguing though, too bad the video is so low quality :/

Although I did not really understand completely what was going on I loved it. It was face-paced as it is only 10 minutes. I loved the art and characters. I think I would really enjoy watching an anime series of it.

This. After about half of it I just started thinking "How am I supposed to rate this mess?".

But I'll go with 7/10, because it deserves some bonus points for making me truly enjoy something so incoherent and devoid of sense, which is a pretty impressive achievement (Well, one of those bonus points might be due to the surprise yuri kiss ^^).

One more thing: Those colorful flying things were beautiful :-)

What... did... I... just... watch?

Something MIND-BLOWING, that's for sure! The art was amazing, as was the use of all those colors. Not to mention the plot and characters were so intensely unique that I barely understood what was happening (which I didn't).

I seriously squealed when Lady Koto kissed Koto! And when she hugged her afterwards, calling her "my Queen, my Mistress" ... asdkjhasdjfhskjd! Though she apologized afterwards (unfortunately), so I guess that kinda sunk my ship before it ever set sails ._.

If this is ever turned into a full season anime, I'm watching it for sure!

This anime brings the term "fast paced" into a whole new league. o_O I couldn't keep up with what was going on at all! Love the colours and animation. I want that hammer!!! Yeah, I need to see the TV adaption that's gonna come out in a couple of weeks. The monk is cute. Overall, 6/10...Onto the 2012 ONAs!

For some reason I liked this. Looks like there will be some sort of story in this which I didn't really expect.
This is unique and entertaining, although I don't know why at all.
I got the main "story" but still a lot of WTF moments.

5/10 for this ONA I guess?
