| Awesome art, loved episode, this needs full series. |
JoeLT said: What did I just watch? Anyone got an explanation? I think I sort of get it In short: an experimental project to test out their new (directing and writing) style, whether it will work out or not. If you were enjoying it then it works, otherwise then yeah, they still have a long way to go. Really, story is not the point. I still remember reading a certain fanfic work which is very very abstract at the point that you won't understand a single damn thing at all. But strangely, it still made me (and lot others) laugh out loud. Pretty mysterious indeed. |
 |
| This was the most crazy awesome thing I have seen since FLCL. Maaaaan |
| I didn't really get what was going on, but the art and stuff are pretty good, and I liked all the characters except for Koto-sama >.> It would be better if this had been an OVA/TV anime/movie instead of just 25 minutes ONA~ |
SurferDude said: WTF was this shit ? I want my 25 minutes back. 3/10. Try again, Japan. You're gay. |
| It was an enjoyable ride... I wonder if they have a series or more OVAs planned after this, cause there's just so much left in the open and leaving you asking what the hell just happened. If this was only planned to be a one-time thing, the writers should of done a better job making a stand alone coherent plot along side the great action scenes. Still better than 95% of the anime out there though. 8/10 |
| this was so crazily insanely random, and i didnt understand nothing except the fact that the monk raised 3 kids and Koto is a host for the other Koto (reincarnation?). Perhaps we´ll have a pedo monk with Koto. Anyway... Amazing Ride. Definitely unique and i dont know why but it gave me a Alice in wonderland x Summer wars feeling. Great animation. Want moarrrrr~~~~ |

| Note, what you all watched were pre-airings. The actual airing starts on December 10th 12:00PM Tokyo Time (18:00 on youtube/nicovideo), and something may (or may not) change. I'm sure it's still going to be only 1 episode though. |

| I think I'll rewatch the PV instead. |
 |
| definitely a wtf show. i even thought it was a full season series or at least there's more than 1 episode. but got the hang of it after watching it twice. this sort of anime is really nice to watch again and again =w= glad that Koto is voiced by Rie Kugimiya. it was perfect. great animation. a lot of it can go into anime scene compilation. ap19 said: Note, what you all watched were pre-airings.

| I... definitely haven't been this confused in a long time... Seems like it could be interesting though. |
| Mindfuck. |
| at the ending "1st twin: I don't really get it 2nd twin: Me neither" hasyly: umm.. Me neither funny... cause I really want to watch it, no matter if I'll get more mindfuck... so, PRODUCERS if you gonna leave this project I will get you, BEWARE!!! |
| Sick animation.Amazing art style.Nice characters. 7/10. TV series would be nice :o |
 |
| i need more >:o |
   |
 This was just a total mindfuck, and not in a good way like FLCL was for me. IF they are gonna do a TV series or an OVA, I'll have to think twice before watching it. I was not bored out of my mind, but I wasn't impressed either. 5/10 |
| I have no idea what that was, but I like it very, very much. It was very pretty too. Artego32rus said: it was real shit. It's not worth more than 5/10 No fun allowed! etc |
| The Art of Eight |
| I don't even... But I liked the art and the battles. |
 |
| The fuck did I I don't even what Why am I giving it an 8/10? |
 |
| That was beyond awesome. Like an FLCL + Summer Wars + a dash of Spirited Away and a whole load of insanity and crack. A full series on this could be amazing but it might also ruin the mindfuck so I guess I'm happy with this much. 8/10 It's nearly impossible for something based on Alice to not be awesome. |
 Znips: When Shay is born she just crawls back in the womb to shitpost for another year |
| Cool, but, why did I feel like I was watching an extra-long trailer? |
| <---made of awesome! |
| I liked it, though I didn't understand most of it... It had great art and I'd love a full series if it explained more |
 |
| Had absolutely no idea what was going on but it was pretty good in the end. Completely different to what I was expecting but still worth a watch. |
| I want more, I dont know why im giving it a 9, i really dont know why but that was just awesome. Got mindraped but it was awesome. completely reminded me of FLCL |

| I was confuse. But it was interest. 7/10 |
  |
| I want mooore |
| So this is gonna be released in a full season in 2012? O_O Really loved the Alice in Wonderland like style, and the art work, dunno what happened but t'was awesome! 8/10 needed a bit more combat of somewhat. |
| 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. |
Solkiskey said: Anyone loved the art style? 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... |
| 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. |

arsonal said: 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 loved the art style and the music but I have no idea what the fuck I just watched. |
| hm-..... 6/10 since of good style xD But 1 ep and lot of randomness xDi had no idea whats goin on so 6710 |
 |
| Awesome episode! 5/5 |
| 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. |
| honestly i don't know what the fuck is that about. |
 |
| 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 |
| Wornking on a new one since the previous one was 10px too big. |
| Ok, I don't know wtf was happening, but this anime had awesome written all over it the time I was watching. |
