| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Not really into this one. I didn't like the art and neither did I like the story. |

| Wow, this one was brillant. Ohira didn't direct an animation for over a decade so I couldn't wait for his part of Genius Party, and my expectations were even exceeded. There is so much creativity in this short, that you can watch it countless times and still discover new nuances. Ohira's loose style is all over the place and interesting animation full of energy is practically everywhere. In my book the best Genius party short together with Kawamori's Shanghai Dragon. |
| At first, I was O.~ and then =D Very entertaining short this one. The most childish of the beyond series. Good to show the young ones. |
| By far my favorite one. It was pretty simple with it only showing the girl in her apartment for most of the time, but the setting and art were outstanding. Would have really liked to have known what that goop was though. |
| I really liked it. Simple yet interesting. Next effect of the animation too. Good use to it |

| First of all the comments in this thread and the others make me wonder what we're talking about. MAL database says that episode 4 is "Toujin Kit" so I'll go with that: I really liked the dark/grey/brown-ish art in this. The basic idea seemed interesting too, though it wasn't explained, which I would have preferred. The pace slow, but in a good way, it wasn't boring at all for me. Good short. I really prefer Genius Party Beyond over the first one. |

busterbeam said: jesus christ Higashi_no_Kaze you are annoying I loved this short, and I love Ohira's style when applied to a silly children's crayon drawing look. the chase scene & the climax were my favorite parts and overall this is probably my favorite out of the lot. Higashi_no_Kaze was talking about Toujin Kit and like him I'm following the MAL episode listing order which lists Shinya Ohira's "Wanwa' the Doggy" as episode 3. Judging from Retro8bit's post too, we three are on the same topic as per MAL episode listing order. Retro8bit said: By far my favorite one. It was pretty simple with it only showing the girl in her apartment for most of the time, but the setting and art were outstanding. Would have really liked to have known what that goop was though. Agree it was pretty slow and had that bleak atmosphere to it, the art and animation was OK though. What the hell were those things? |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| I expected more of this one. The way those aliens were presented was bad in my opinion. |
 |
| Loved this one, the art and feel to the short was quite impressive for me! |
 |
| People get the episodes straight already, episode 4 is: Toujin(Tojin) Kit This one was rather interested even though hardly anything was explained, the short story was definitely worth a watch :) |

| This might be the best short yet. Great atmosphere and visuals, and a really interesting plot with the parasites. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| For a moment, I thought I was watching Texhnolyze, but then I realized it was too brightly lit. This short really love its slightly overhead camera shots, depicting something moving towards or away from the camera in tight spaces, such as alleyways, hallways, and tunnels. It also spent a good half of its time relying completely on visuals to tell what was going on, which I really appreciated. |
| some Initial D faces in this short xD! Anyways i think some parts were unsubtlety quiet with no sound and those written walls back in the apartment were creepy 6/10 |

I wish they had explaining exactly what were those things, but I guess nothing can be done. The art was cinerescent and somber yet it fit with the theme. imlo it was a clear reference to the Lovecraft works :D |

| Everything was good except the ending. 6/10 |
| This one was super cool, love the style of it |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| Felt like a Hellboy story |
