| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The focus on humour in this week's short definitely took me a bit by surprise. Did anyone catch that brief "ME!ME!ME!" reference not far into the video? |

| I don't care about all that deep meaning behind this episode, even if it had any. That loli was cute, though indeed a bit annoying. |

| What? (I like stuff like this) |
  |
| i was distracted on how the MC machine guns his dialogue to the point that i didn't understand what he says. lucky to have subs included. akarin- said: StevenHu said: Did anyone catch that brief "ME!ME!ME!" reference not far into the video?

| making fun of god, that was great |
| A bit weird, but the story is interesting. How would we act whether we become the creator? |
| wot thuh |
| Crazy stuff, sometimes funny sometimes simply dumb. |
| This sure was quite a different anime :p pretty fun yet crazy! Let's see what's next. Also that OP :v |
 |
| Alright then ... that was a crazy fast paced short. I guess I could kinda see the reference to Evangelion as others mentioned. Being the creator is not a simple thing. |
 |
| Apparently based on a novel by Karel Čapek. Loved the animation and style. One of my favorites so far. |
| I was expecting this to be about music, instead got... well I'm not completely sure. |
 |
| I was really surprised this episode wasn't directed by Imaishi, or at least key animation by him. But still probably my favorite short thus far. |
 |
| definitely the best intro so far |
| Haha, this was a lot of fun. It isn't easy being a creator! |
| Interesting short. It's true that Čapek was visionary for his era and it shows in this episode. There were many references too. Well, it's kinda funny because I live in Czech Republic and I never seen this play, even though it's featured in many theatres here regularly from time to time. He has written many great books and plays, R.U.R (from where the word 'robot' originates), White Disease or Krakatit as really good ones for example. But if I have to recommend one book from Čapek, it would be definitely War with the Newts ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_with_the_Newts ), it's one of his latest books written just before the war and the message it carries is very strong even in these days. |
| Adam, a paradox of creation, the critic of the creation, criticized forhis creation. Nice. G:5 - B:4 - U:4 -- Adam, una paradoja de la creación, el crìtico del creador, criticado por la creación. Nice. M:5 - H:4 - I:4 |
| The only good part was that kawaii loli. |
 |
| That opening was a thing. Wow. They really went all out with that one. Anyways, so, God is a snarky, narcissistic, perverted, possessive, jealous, fast talking madman. Well now. Um...apparently in this story, God messed up and created the likeness of himself, which ended up being another God, that then created more Gods in his likeness that resulted in bloodshed and destruction in the name of variable amounts of Gods that all originated from a single one anyways, all accumulating to everyone blaming God for all their frustrations and inadequacies. God breaks down crying upon being question why he allowed his creations to suffer and die, to which he claims that it wasn't his fault. Despite this, he'll continue to run the place for who knows why. At least, I think that's what happened. Mahiro Maeda from Episode 6 returned to do this one. Apparently, it was based on Karel Čapek's novel Adam Stvořitel, where the character Adam tries to destroy the world and replace it with a better one. Huh. I suppose if the animation wasn't as wild and the story as off-the-wall insane, it would have come across as obtuse or arcane to some level. |
| That's the first time I liked the Animator Expo opening~ I can sense that the Japanese-style humor is strong in this one. The fast talking isn't exactly my cup of tea but it answered the question of why our creator never shows up to us quite well. People can be such ingrates xD Lilith (the naked loli) was the showstopper of this short ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 |
| i loved how fast paced and chaotic this was,,, definitely one of my favourite shorts so far (((the me!me!me! reference was amazing as well)))) |
 |
| LMAO He took your girl. LMAo at Kawaii! Low cut is the master race. That was funny. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Felt like something a Freshman film-school student would come up with while going for "edgy" and "deep" points. And it gave me a headache |
 |
on 
| Cool stuff. You could see it in a way as similar to animal farm, but where in the book the pigs gain benefits in remaking the old ways, in this short when Adam realized he just re-created the world as it was before, he just acknowledges that he didn't do anything, that in the end he didn't make any change. |
 |
| damn so that's how it looks inside the head of an animator? CHAOS! |
| Was that Iyami's pose from Osomatsu-san??? When they divide the earth in half??? |
