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? |
| Honestly, the PV (the music <3) was better then the whole ONA and it was only 5 mins ~ Still flashy colors and good animations make me like it anyways. 6/10 |
 |
| 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. |
| Finally got the chance to finish it. I don't get it, but in some way I felt it's funny (only at the end, though). |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| 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 :/ |
 |
| Waste of time. |
  |
| I couldn't follow this anime at all, it confused the living fuck out of me. I still enjoyed it though, I love crazy randomness. The art was really awesome too. |
| 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 show is awesome. It's not that hard to understand what is going on people, but it does leave you with that "teh fuck did I just watch", feeling. Makes me think of FLCL. 8/10 for me |
  |
| FLCL meets Alice in Wonderland - that makes for a pretty entertaining show with some cool art. I am not really sure how to rate this though... |
| What the heck did I just watch?! Feels like a prologue, and maybe it is. On to the next eps I say! |
| Not bad I liked it actually, they should really make some more this could have some potential! 8/10 |
 |
| I didn't understand what was happening at all. |
 |
| 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!

 |
| What the fuck was this?! Well, whatever it was, it was just bad... Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| 6/10 |
 |
| It was random but entertaining. Looking forward to the TV adaptation. |
| 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!

Shachou said: I've notice something interesting that almost all of you watch M.Penguindrum. lol XD so true. ...no wonder I loved this. |
  |
| well i didnt understand anything - -'', wth did i jus watch but fot the sake of the animation i give it a 7/10 |
| Just epic win. Be sure to add in Koto favorites. |
| 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? |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Most confusing shit I ever did see. But it was the good kind of shit, and the good kind of confusing. |

| Acid Trip: The Anime. Looking forward to the series yaaar. |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| Ohhhh I get it now. The end is the beginning, while the beginning is what happens after the beginning but is actually the prequel to the beginning of the next episode. |
| this was pretty enjoyable, but I didn't get it I love this kind of art style ^w^ |
 |
| art was so awesome. wish i could have seen it in a higher quality. tadaiiiiiiiiiiiima |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Love the artstyle. Didn't really know what was going on but I definitely liked/enjoyed this 7/10. See potential in 2012 OVA and the TV series. |

| Didn't really know what was going on but it sure did have a unique are style. |
| Oh MAN that was cool to watch. Wish i found it in a better quality though. Had I ben abl to watch that in 1080p. OH MAN it would have looked a LOT cooler. Regardless, i love the artsy over the top action and animation. Story? Who care. Its awesome to watch. 5/5 10/10 |

| I don't like how they showed this even though it would appear later in the TV series. |
 |
| This felt like an embryonic rough draft rather than a fully formed idea. The scenes came off kind of disjointed and random, which is understandable since there's only so much you can cram into one ONA. The narrative structure was like following a Thomas Pynchon novel. But I absolutely loved the animation and art style. Very aesthetically pleasing and engaging. It has the same eccentric and zany qualities of Fooly Cooly. |
 |
| Although short and messy, the animation and setting left me in awe. Very much looking forward to when my download of the main TV series is finished. It's touhou and FLCL shoved in a blender, and the result seems to be well, good actually. |
| Fast-paced action with flashy visuals? I like! The colourfulness and craziness of the art and animation was awesome :3 Shame the quality was so low though, but I guess not much can be done about that. Music was pretty good too, and what I saw of the characters were good. They all seem pretty crazy XD It was definitely a bit confusing, but for something so short it was decent enough. Definitely made me curious about the world/universe. Hope the next versions are as good as this or better. 7/10 |
| I'm confused about what this is. I found episodes 1-10 and that's kyousou giga (tv), I found episodes 0 and 10.5 but those are apparently the recaps so.. What is this? :( Everything has a similar description. I wanted to start with this one |
| That art was really good. It feels like every little thing was animated in a very Trigger-esque style. I think this is one of those things that's worth watching twice, to get a bigger picture. It was a pretty good watch. I'm interested in seeing how the 2012 and 2013 series' do.  |
| Concept ONA for a pretty bland intrigue, dynamic style making up for it while falling into the "too much anime" trap. Naturally, since this is about a girl supposedly trapped in another dimension, there has to be a bunny. Obviously, since this opted for an over-the-top "anime" style (as seen by outsiders, I mean), the bunny has to be a long-haired big-breasted lightly clothed woman. Score: 6.5/10 Enjoyment: 3/5 I didn't bother reading what stands above, or rather I stopped after noticing several "Didn't understand". Another anime to testify how desperate the average internet anime consumer way of watching is. Everything needed to understand what's going on is either shown through the actions and events or (and MAINLY) enunciated by the characters themselves. Or given away by the characters names. Seriously... @St0rmblade Out of curiosity, what with the videogame theme and aspect given to this Kyôtô from another dimension? Also, since there isn't really an overall written evaluation from you nor a score, how was the TV adaptation? |

| Myoue has a T-shirt saying "Teppan", which is the performer of the OP from the series. "Miyako-sama" as in "capital"? So Koto is the goddess of Mirror Kyoto here, huh. And has a peculiar relationship with Hammer Koto. What's with that random Banpresto pop-up? Also I just noticed the year 2065 in the newspaper given out by the toy rabbit. And that heart-shaped thing on the front on the temple tower. Nice transition from Yase throwing her toy to Koto getting hit. Inari had a different design in this early ONA apparently, his hair resembling Koto's. Now I get why rabbit-Koto kissed Koto, mistaking her for Inari.

Also, since there isn't really an overall written evaluation from you nor a score, how was the TV adaptation? This "womanly" aspect is not exploited in the TV series in any fanservice-ish ways, and there's a good in-universe explanation for Koto being a beautiful woman. The TV adaptation is great, I just need to give scores faster, I guess (hesitating between a 9 and a 10, I might appreciate the show more after reading a bit about the production and all that in the interviews). The events from this ONA are mostly unique though (bits and pieces were used in the TV here and there, esp. the action scenes from the second half). This version also has some plot elements that were either not used or changed in the TV series, though chronologically it can be placed in the middle of the show and expands on the respective events a bit. I'm actually somewhat glad I watched it after the TV adaptation. Though doing the opposite could've been interesting too. My speculation on the "videogame aesthetics" and the overall colorful and vibrant style is that Matsumoto brings over some legacy from working on magical girl shows (Precure), plus the city from another dimension kinda needs to look different. Some of the city's inhabitants look like blobs for a reason though, since it's "Jigoku", one can speculate that those with human form still have some attachments (in the Buddhist sense) to the world, while the "blobs" are not and are closer to reincarnation (although this interpretation is more obvious in the TV series, the festival gives some hints). Another comparison I was thinking of is Penguindrum and Sarazanmai, which were also using "cardboard" background characters to signify something relevant. So it might be a creative touch of sorts. Well, now for Matsumoto's quote: – But in reality, your Kyoto is shifted quite away from the real Kyoto. What was the purpose to this difference? For the 5 minute film, I used ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’ as a motif. Besides, I thought it would be better if I mixed humans, yokai and even mecha to make it feel less normal and more like a mystery hotpot. I prioritized the pictures I wanted over what the themes will be. Instead of trying to portray the present Kyoto with realism, It felt better for me to use a name that can provide a distinctive image, whilst layering my own images over that.

| Well that was... something... my mind is still trying to make sense of what I just watched, it was a little too tiring to watch to say that I actually liked it, yet I want to see more... |

| Interesting artstyle and a nice bit of chaos. I enjoyed it. It's pretty clear that there's more to this story so onto the ONA's. |
| i dont know what that was about but the art was amazing and more yuri is welcome |
 Maybe watching, maybe reading, probably living |
