Zettai 15-byou Animation!

Gokiburi Taisou is a fun little animation featuring anthropomorphic cockroaches. The style of movement combined with their design does make it a bit creepy though. Furthermore the soundtrack is not altogether that special. Southpaw takes the quirky and original style of its predecessor and uses it much more effectively. By using a much altogether cuter character that has much more charisma in its design, the animator has produced a music short that appeals musically, visually, and stylistically. The animated dances are integrated well with the melody of the Kuricorder Quartet and should prove to most people a gateway to this hidden gem of a band as well. The animator's work often touches on taboo, bodily fluids, and the repulsive which may not appeal to all viewers. Southpaw, however, is an animation that will appeal to those who appreciated the stylistic originality of Gokiburi Taisou, but prefer a cuter or more conventional style of character. Truly, Southpaw is a hidden gem that I expect will eventually get picked up by some big influencer and become a hit. Definitely a must watch for anyone into short music video anime! read more
