Those festival guys sure did a pretty good job in casting away that demon. The MC was useless though and scared even when the demon was dead.

Reminded me of burglars of Baghdad with the visuals and the animation.

5/10.

Noburo Ofuji artstyle is easily recognizable.

the animation was top notch.

that's sad end for the snake, he wasn't bad, he spared the mc live.

This is probably the most accomplished of these shorts and I enjoyed it but the ending seemed abrupt, is this another incomplete film?

The animation itself is enjoyable. The story, to me, is a metaphor for how the human species will kill anything we can not understand. I don't think the serpent was evil in any way, even though it is said in the story he killed many people, he spared the MC and even confided in the MC, telling him his only weakness/the one thing he dreaded most. The MC proceeded to tell everyone about this, ultimately leading to the serpents death :(

So the serpent killed many people before that's why after knowing the serpent's weakness people decided to kill him? That's what I think is the reason because they killed the serpent after knowing the weakness. Thinking about it, it was funny how the MC got shock after the serpent gives him a money.
