"Moondrive" Kazuto Nakazawa
Didn't like this one much. I disliked the "crude" style of the art and given the highly experimental nature of the short, hence it's heavy dependence on , I couldn't enjoy it much.
"'Wanwa' the Doggy" Shinya Ohira
Art style mimics the visual designs expected from children's drawings. So it's an attempt to look at the world from the perspective of a child, as if we were living inside a 6 year old crayon drawing. Animation is superb as every technical aspect of the film but it left me a bit cold.
"Toujin Kit" Tatsuyuki Tanaka
Really great and highly detailed art. Show obvious inspiration from Tarkovsky's Stalker, even had the decrepit apartment near a railway and the irritating sound of the train passing though the tracks. This one was really great short film. I found it highly enjoyable and affecting, one of the best shorts I watched recently.
"Dimension Bomb" Koji Morimoto
Great short film from Morimoto. He is indeed one of the foremost animation directors in the world. A must watch for fans of animation, this short is extremely surrealistic and visually aggressive and audacious, exploring the artistic possibilities of animation. Powerful, haunting and featuring some amazing art and animation, this is a "winner".
