Well, that exists now.

This short / music video was directed by Takashi Horiuchi and Masahiro Emoto. Takashi Horiuchi was the episode director for the beginning of "Psycho-Pass" (Episode 1 and 2) whilst Masahiro Emoto was the key animator for "Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and "Redline".

The song "Asia no Kaizoku" sang by Kōichi Yamadera was okay.
The original version was sang by Fuyumi Sakamoto.

Samurai: The Opera
"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."

At first I was like: what is this, afro-samurai the musical?

... it kinda was. It was a good story through most of it (I'm glad it got subbed)... not sure about that crazy "concert" end though.

The ending was unexpected, and that other ending was unexepcted too. Also that one.

So many twists in one fucking short, wow.

Seemed like an AMV that was made out of an actualy series. I didn't really like the artstyle too much to be honest. It was alright.

The atmosphere of this episode reminded me a lot of Samurai Champloo! Pretty solid episode and song in general.

Damn this was amazing :D
The song was very fitting with the animation, loved the samurai cyborg theme.
Could've easily been an OP for an anime.

That was only a concert?
I liked the story until he transformed into a robot, that ruined it.

So, what if Karas was a music video? It would have been just as flashy and action packed, but with a lot more ham. I don't think I really started to get into this short until the big dance sequence at the end. That was just...really, who thinks of this? I've been loving the creativity so far in these shorts, and Yamadeloid doesn't disappoint. I seriously never know what to expect.

Yamedeloid exceeded my expectations~ I want it to be a short series!

Not only did it give a compelling samurai story, it also provided us with a very catchy song and a concerto twist that I'll remember for a very long time.

i wasn't going to comment on this series anymore because of how short these usually are but i just have to...
is this just me or did that sequence where our hero/singer rushes to the castle, reminiscent of Shichika's bosh rush?

aaand it turns out he's a fucking idol! DID NOT SEE THAT COMING! though i guess him singing through all of it was a huge foreshadowing. Brilliant!

Well that was just...inspired! When the MC first started singing, a smile crept its way onto my face and remained there until. the end of the anime.

Fun video!

The song, the animation, the characters, the story, the romance. Everything was beautiful.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.
