Got to say, though there is basically no plot or characters, the nonsense crazy animation really grabbed me. I think if Dead Leaves tried to add a more understandable story it would only have taken away from the experience of watching Pandy and Retro bounce around from one insane situation to another. This way I can enjoy this insanity for what it is without a "plot" to try and explain the idiocy going on.

Fricking awful, just like TTGL and PSG (I dropped the latter after 10 minutes but I doubt it would've gotten better). I don't want to hate any creators but Imaishi is really overstepping the mark.

It feels like a typical Imaisi work with high octane fights and expressiveness. There wasn't really any sort of a big plot. Pacing was extremely fast which actually suits something like this. Most of the comedy was good mainly in terms of the weirdness. Looking at the staff, couple of my favorite animators have worked on this. It was a fun time overall. 7/10

This reminded me of some Ralph Bakshi and R. Crumb all rolled up into one fast movie. The style, pace, coloring, music, and story were wonderful! If anyone tells me that anime is cartoons with voice actors on helium ..... I will tell them to watch this one and report back! LOL 8/10

Did Imaishi really just peak on his first directorial work?

Hmm I need to check out Panty and Stocking next since it's apparently very similar to this, the last of his work I've yet to see.

This is similar to flcl but it has only action although I like the artstyle but I didn't enjoy it that much.

The flashes and explosions are too much. Gave me a headache. The action is just straight up silly sometimes. 5/10 at most.

scifi psychedelic extravaganza. amazing colors and dinamic eccentric animation, over the top explosive anime at its best. hard to follow plotline but who cares. this is one hell of a roller coaster override.

Movie was good gave me Panty and stocking/ FLCL vibes.
Lot of actions and fan service. But the humor is there also.
Idk if its too much for my eyes but i was like this is too much to see. But over all good.

I guess those artsy movies are pretty much hit or miss for me.
This one was a miss. Too much shouting, too much flashing, and where was the story? The movie couldn't really hold my attention. Luckily, it was short.
But maybe I was just not in the mood.

Well that, was certainly something lol. alot of crazy shit happened in the plot from
and
and i must say, the visuals and animation were really stellar and i kind of want to see a sequel of it, somewhere in the triggerverse to see what kind of chaotic shit the characters are going to be up to now lol.

It really reminds me of Panty & Stocking (and a bit of Promare too). Super nonsensical action, flashy and wacky characters, very unique art/design, basically just crazy, explosive, absurd yet fun.

I watched this dubbed and surprisingly it was really good. Full of madness lol

I remember all the noise about this when it come out. It's very FLCL oriented, but... more edgelord, more childish, just not very good.

Bad humour, fan service galore, big guns, violence.
It is what is it - very teenage boy.

This was amazing from start to finish. I loved the two main leads Retro and Pandy. I loved that guy with the big drill. The animation style was also very unique, it was also action packed.

The animation kinda reminds me of Trava: Fist Planet in a way.

Overall 8/10 would recommend.

Pandy was also very beautiful.

Not gonna lie, I didn't want to watch it because of the cover photo, I just wanted to see a glimpse out of curiosity and I loved it (LOL you really shouldn't judge a book by it cover), too bad it's one OVA and not a whole series :(, cool animation style and the Retro/Pandy duo is awesome, like Kill La Kill it was great.
I'll give it a 9, it was action/comedy packed from start to finish.

Imaishi simply operates on such a high level of creative brilliance that us regular people should just feel happy and privileged to see it happen. crazy to see with this one how deeply the seeds of what went on to become TTGL and KLK were already deeply sown in his mind
