Story: 9
All three stories were great, but seem to be part of the actual Japanese culture, so it wasn't something "new". Still very good though.
Art: 5
I was definitely not very impressed with the art in either of the stories (drawn differently!) The first wasn't special, though the scenes/backgrounds weren't fantastic in it, and I didn't really like the way people were drawn - they all looked mean and scary (not everyone is mean in the story). Not a super-supernatural and odd coloured hair or the like. Much more realistic than many others.
Second story was as close to the average anime as we get. Wild hair, some with odd colours, but luckily no excess spark and gloss. More colorful than the first, and the people didn't all look mean :b More had been done to create scenes, but again, it's not something fantastic or outstanding.
Third story - let's just say I've never seen that kind of art before. There were so many colours and shapes that it was sometimes hard to distinguish between objects. A constant "layer" was in every scene - like it has been drawn on crumpled paper. It also often looked like it was just drawn in 2D - there isn't much depth in it.
One of the women looked a bit like a black person - big lips and skin more tanned than others'. Had I only seen a bit of the anime, I would have guessed it to be a comedy.
Though, I must say that the art was pretty good at the climax - the art did something to the action scenes.
Generally, I really don't know if I like it or not. It's very unique, but I think it's kinda odd.
Sound: 5
I don't even remember much of the soundtrack... I do believe though, that there were some scenes where the background music really made the mood.
Charachter: 5
I don't know... It's about 3-5 episodes to each story, so you don't really get to know a whole lot about the people, hence I don't have much to say.
The charachters in story 2 were somewhat interesting though...
Enjoyment: 7
I did enjoy the show a little after all. The stories were interesting because they seem be part of actual Japanese culture (correct me if I'm wrong).
The first story was gory, the second way more beautiful, more romantic, and the third was Mushishi-ish in plot. Not bad, and I would encourage people to take a look at it, as it is quite interesting, and maybe even more to others than to me.
I give it an overall on 7.
