Chainsaw Maid

I watched this peculiar short film with no expectations and minute after minute it was impressing me more and more. I don't like the set and character models too much but love the claymation. As a short film not much of a story is needed or expected, but basically there will be a maid slaughtering zombies with a chainsaw and it will be awesome. I don't know about anyone else but I thought this thing was hilarious. I was literally laughing out loud thoughout the films run. But this thing is super gory. I had no idea claymation could be so effectively violent. Overall I ... found Chainsaw Maid to be really fun to watch and reccomend anyone check it out. Hell, it's only six minutes of your time.

Six minutes of your life.

What could you be doing with it?

Simple, you could be starting a new load of laundry - or you could be cleaning out your fridge. Very bluntly, you could be doing something very time beneficial. What did I decide to do with my six minutes?

Watch this.

To be fully honest, I’m not exactly regretting the time I spent watching this. It did capture my interest and I was eager to see how the creators played with time here. That in mind, I decided to watch this - after all it was an easy find on youtube. ... What I was expecting was not in fact what I got. Prior to viewing over this ONA, I had read that it took place in a world where a zombie outbreak has occurred.

By the cover and the description however, I had assumed that this maid would be a fully fledged zombie hunter. This might count as a light spoiler so if you’re against that then I recommend skipping this paragraph. Now that is said, I can go on to the skills and personality of the said “fully-prepared” and “fully-loaded” maid. Concluding the six minutes she is rather handy but at first you can see that she’s like a normal person, unprepared but willing to fight to protect her masters.

There’s not much I can say here for plot considering the time frame, but definitely it was a cute little thing. I would have rated it better however if they closed it in a bit of a better fashion. Still, I enjoyed it. Would I watch it again? Probably not. But still it’s only six minutes, and this is only my opinion on the ONA. You can go and watch it and decide for yourself if it’s something you like or not. However for me, it’s a solid 5. It’s average but I wouldn’t say by any means that it’s “bad”. I just think they could have completed it with a better “resolution”.

Thanks for taking time to read this and using a few minutes of your time. My final say is do what you please. After all, I’m just another reviewer and as every review is, it’s just an opinion. Yours could vary from mine.

Rate a 3
No vocals but sound effects. There is a couple lines of English subbed text

Story
Basic invasion. Has a good ending.

Art
Well done clay art/animation. Would have done slightly better in a darker setting. There was a moment of two of unneeded replays.

Sound
... audio sound was a bit annoying in level.

Character
Nothing is said on who is who. You had to decuse that for your self. A kind of mad lips task if you will. Where the basics are visible but a couple blanks need filling in like names or occupation.

Enjoyment
No emotions were expressed. Some supernatural fans and clay fans would be the only fans for this in my opinion.
