By Tatsuki, the creator of Kemono Friends & Kemurikusa. After seeing how he was removed from the production of the most successful anime in Japan in 2017, after throwing his bunch of fanboys to boycott the sequel of it and after seeing how Kemurikusa was a total failure only praised by a few Texhnolyze's fans, he decided to translate all his anger and ego into Hentatsu, a useless piece of animation and a total loss of time.

If Kemurikusa was characterized by elaborate a complete senseless display of the most intense boredom, waiting to the last episode to show some kind of plot bait to make you innocently think "oh, shit, maybe this thing is 'dip', I'm gonna watch this 'fun' show again, I'm sure it's full of meaning, maybe there's even some biblical references as in Evangelion!"; Hentatsu is not much far away from this concept.

This is an anime of 1.30 minute long episodes about two anthropomorphic characters discussing, and that's all. It basically stuns you with the most stupid script, so stupid that you cannot even believe it's just like that so you pointlessly try to extract some kind of message where there's not any. That's in the worst case, in the best you just add it to your list of 'dropped'.There's nothing to tell, nothing to show, absolutely no meaning in their words.

Animation vaules? Just Yaoyorozu's average crap.

In the last episode you discover that this bad joke is just a promotional animation for a future new work, but that doesn't liberate it of being a total insult to you as an spectator. After watching this bullsh*t I can see Tatsuki's egotistical soul impregnated into this piece, looking to you over the shoulder and mocking on you because you are not intelectually smart enough to understand the greatness of their works. However, I ironically consider it better than Kemurikusa just because at least it doesn't martyr you with empty episodes of 20 minutes long. I appreciate it.

All in all, if you are that kind of anime fan that enjoys watching anime with pen and notebook and having a headache at the end of the day (Serial Experiments Lain fan's prototype), you may extract something from this, as well as from Kemurikusa. If not, just avoid this grotesque and never look back.
