Story: 1/10
..'cause there's no story..

Art: 5/10
..it's very very old but still doesn't even look like one of the best art of its time..

Sound: 1/10
..I can't put 0, so let's settle for 1. Would be 2 if there were subs (dubs would be fine too!)

Character: 1/10
... ..amazing, give me any character that develops in 2-3 seconds.

Enjoyment: 7/10
..I really enjoyed watching the supposedly first anime ever created, it's like anime history is lifting her skirt a very tiny bit herself revealing a birthmark on one of her thighs for you to see for yourself.

Overall: 5/10
My formula -> (1+5+1+1+7+([8]*4))/9
Inside [] is my bias, it's the score I think it deserves.
This formula is designed so that my bias weighs much of the overall rating.

TL;DR
I liked it, feeling like I'm witnessing the birth of anime itself. No exaggerations.

P.S. It's my very first review so for anything I may have messed up, sorrymasen.

The truth is that it is the first anime in history and it does not have to be criticized much, despite the lack of sound and history, I was quite surprised how the Japanese animation of this short could evolve to what we have today , we have to thank you :9.

The drawing is simple, but for the time it is very good, excellent I would say, it has no sound, so you can take it as a silent movie, although these have a soundtrack, which this animation lacks.

It doesn't have a story itself, (SPOILER) is just a kid writing on the board, so there ... isn't much to watch, other than it is only 3 seconds long.

In general, this short has encouraged to promote Japanese animation and the basis of the Japanese style

An insightful glimpse into the Japanese zeitgeist of old. Biting and poignant, the unnamed protagonist clearly symbolizes the conflict between the Ego and the Superego, actualizing the subconscious desire for societal rebellion. Though some may say the animation is lackluster, I would argue that it is a stylistic choice. Akin to James Joyce's clever wordsmithing, the frames here mash and collide in a bombastic display of eccentricity and phlogiston. But, as much as it pains me to admit, the pacing is a bit on the wandering side. The protagonist's arc is lethargic, albeit satisfying. But that is nowhere near as egregious as the changes that ... Bones made during adaptation. The manga's ending was much different and I think more thematically appropriate, but they did an alright job here. The voice-acting also leaves much to be desired. But at least the soundtrack is good. I've always been a huge fan of Okehazama Arisa's work, and he really knocked out of the park here. All in all, the experience is good. It could have been better, but it's still good. However, I hesitate to recommend it.
