It's short and weird enough that it's probably worth reading, but the available English fan translation quality and the manga's quality itself make it very confusing and underwhelming. It has some interesting full-colour visuals with the tank-mech things rendered via 3DCG. The quality of it all is poor, but it's cool to see colour manga at least.

The story is centered around these very awkward-looking, awkward-operating tank-mechs and a two-sided war. It's hard to understand exactly why they're fighting or what they're fighting for, exactly. The main characters seem to be a bit more egalitarian and less blood-hungry than the other faction, but there's so little ... context supplied. The little skirmishes that comprise the majority of this are incredibly hard to follow as well.

It can be read in 20-30 minutes, so it's probably worth checking out, but it's incredibly disappointing, especially considering the slight amounts of potential it showed.

A Tarantino-esque crime-comedy that's light on the comedy and irony and a bit heavier on slow, cynical atmosphere.

The slightly ugly character designs pair fairly well with how acerbic and cynical most of the characters are, but the visuals and some of the backgrounds and graphics look, if not pleasing, then at least interesting. Extremely limited animation at times, with only mouths moving and shot-reverse-shot between characters, but it's never painful to look at either. A couple of longer shots on scenery are nice and none of the framing and so forth really compares much to anime, it's a lot closer to Western film in general ... and particularly indie-animated American films in the same vein.

A lot of inconsequential dialogue, a lot of chitchat and jokes without punchlines and so forth. I would never call this film clever or unique, but it's well executed. It knows what it wants to do and it does that well. Slower, slightly atmospheric, etc. The lingering shots of an item, a body, or a scenic background with the decent sound work can be pleasurable despite feeling like padding sometimes.

That said, it does feel a little aimless, a little drawn out, a little crass. It's only 70+ minutes long, but it felt 30 minutes longer than that, mostly in a bad way. I don't know if I could recommend it to anyone beyond the novelty. It's solid for what it is though.
