I really like minimalist art, and the philosophy behind it, so this kind of storytelling is something I dig. Also, I don’t feel like it was incomplete, but that could be because I do play a good game of fill-in-the-blank when forced to. I do have some faith in Rie Matsumoto as a director, but there’s something to be said for keeping the format. I could see a new run of 10-episode shorts adding more depth and short stories, but it feels a lot to me like a shorter show like Muromi-san or Teekyu where an ordinary format would force it to add stuff that wasn’t really there. That being said, I still loved the show, and that’s part of why I want to see more of it.ĭrew: I would like to be more of it, but I feel like it would have gotten unavoidably more generic if they made it a 20-episode show. It might just be the person I am, but I wished that I knew just a little bit more about the world.

Sam: I would actually disagree with the idea that it was satisfying I really liked the world, the artstyle, and the characters, but I kept feeling like I was watching clips of a full series rather than vignettes designed for minimalist storytelling.

Nice animation and art, made me think of Gainax from like 2007 or 2008. I don’t know, minimalism is really cool to me. It was a nice world to visit, but I don’t know that I’d want to live there exactly. I liked just getting bits and pieces of it. It’s like a small window into a fantasy that’s somehow more satisfying than tantalizing. The artstyle was smooth and creative, and for a bunch of 10-minute ONAs, it did a great job of building a world and cast from nothing. We watched the latter, and are ready to dish in the latest “us-doing-whatever-we-want” feature!ĭrew: As an unabashed lover of minimalist storytelling and world-building, Kyousogiga was something I really liked. In 2012, Director Rie Matsumoto returned to the fray to do it right, cranking out a new five-episode ONA.

In 2011, Toei Animation and Banpresto collaborated to fund a mediocre 20-minute ONA based on an awesome trailer.
