This series of short films is basically the product of the darkly humorous, morbidly curious imagination that each and every one of us has. Like, what if there was an olympic sport in which people drove cars with unsecured people in the passenger seats to see who could make their passenger fly out the window screen the furthest? That's the kind of humor Shintarou Kago presents you with here. Often ridiculous and surreal, body-horrorish and silly, I found that I chuckled at almost every short (as in, short short - between 30 seconds and 2 mins with a 7 minute finale), maybe because I know that I, among many others, think in a similar fashion if I just let my thoughts go. Kago Shintarou Anime Sakuhin Shuu has no depth, and doesn't pretend to have any either.
The films are animated (well, the 15 of them that are animated) very crudely. Some you feel could almost have been done on MS paint. The sound track and effects were the same. However, this was not a downfall of the series for me. In fact, it's as if that was part of the point. The concepts are silly. The series as a whole doesn't take itself too seriously, or pretend at all that a lot of effort or money went into its creation.
As a whole, I found that this series was entertaining and not difficult to get through at all. I rate it 8/10 for its sheer entertainment value and how I personally feel it reflects the silly thoughts we all have but never talk about. All in all, not a bad way to spend 25 minutes of my time.
