Although an unoffensive work, it wasn't exactly good, either. At least it wasn't bad like Gambo. There was some nice eye candy, but the art and animation on the MC was pretty awkward.

I didn't like the CGI but the art details were great, I particularly like his toolbox, lots of little drawers and compartments! And since I totally dig Japanese folklore, this was awesome for me. Judging from his actions, he probably must be a good guy and he was rewarded for it. 7/10

The CGI was very well concealed. Even though he is the vharacter we see most of the time, he didn't stand out too much from the rest of the set.
Nicely done.

Tsukumogami, or the articles discarded that were beleived to take on soul like life after 100 years. It had a feel like the old film Yojimbo, yet the character was more of a wandering Jack of all trades. I LOVED the little umbrella oni. Ahcha Gahcha! 9/10 just for making me feel really good and having a pleasant message of oneness and wanting to live ( and be useful, not used, perhaps? lol) ^~^

The 3D was weird. Almost like a 2D made 3D afterwards.


EDIT: a 2D effect added after the 3D animation was complete. And I had to watch this twice today! A really nice short.

Yeah, this really is some well done CGI. You can tell it's CGI but it fits really well, and they didn't cut frames like they do in other works.

Nothing much to the character or the story, but it was a nice visual piece.

For it being fully done in 3D it was pretty lovely! Quite liked the overall story even though it was this short. Let's see what's next.

It was okay. The CGI was pretty well done, though I don't feel it almost meshed gracefully with the background art. Like, it was fine in the building but at the end when the guy got out in the green forest it clashed a bit in my opinion (though it was mostly from those first shots, him walking away seemed fine). Not much going on here, but it looked nice at least.

It was a great short encounter between them, everyone benefited from the meeting. They let him lodge for the night and he fixed their things, but most of all he was gracious and that's why they gave him those possessions at the end.

Great art visuals and a combination of a good plot. 7/10.

It was about nothing (ambitious/profound/particularily interesting). Storyboarding and presentation of logic of spacial relations justified 3D and was quite good. Walk animation was not. It was hideous. Shoes were clipping through the floor, not like it really matters. Facial animation and effects were well made on the other hand.
Kind of meh, ok.

A nice short although nothing special. CG was actually good but it feels likethe CG quality decreased due to the type of backgrounds they used and couldn't blend it properly. Anyway, the atmosphere was well put together and it always created a type of feeling that us hard to explain throughout the entire run. Also, I wasn't really a big fan of the folklore here. 6/10
