This show reminds of the feeling I had when I watched FLCL for the first time, mixed in with shades of watching my first Ghibli movie. It was a little strange, but strangely awesome.

The art is quite clean and everything in this show was very well animated with nice art and character designs. The small cast of characters were all enjoyable. Nothing about this show had blatant fan service of any sort.

The story is not the emphasis here but is really a means to an end in order to show the fruits of this studio's labor. To present their abilities in creativity, music (which was excellent might I add), art, and animation. The story was presented with just the right tone of maturity as well.

It is a perfect example of why I still watch anime today. The capability to portray a surreal fantasy setting story about dragon tooth dentists, while simultaneously conveying subtle underlying themes surrounding the significance of life. None of it really made sense and the show doesn't go into depth about explaining any concepts or about what's going on. Instead the focus is on the presentation of story events rather than the semantics of it all. All of this mixed in with a small amount of war & action... It looks nonsensical on paper, but it really worked out wonderfully.

Although there was just simply not enough time to become invested due to the show being only 2 episodes long, I'd say for the time allotted, it did a great job doing its best.

Simply put, it was a joy to watch. Very original, highly creative, short, soothing, sweet, and inconclusive, leaving perhaps room for more content in the future. Considering the level of high quality put into these 2 specials, I hope more will come.
