Mori no Andou

Only 5 minutes were needed to tell this masterpiece. The story simply tells about a forest and it's residents. At the beginning of the story we meet a bee and a bear. They seem to have a discussion about honey, which leads to a fight. Then the star of the anime, Mr. Ando comes to the rescue. Mr. Ando is clearly the protector of the forest. He brings peace everywhere with his powerful message: ''STRIKE MR ANDO STRIKE''. For some reason the animals suspect that Mr. Ando might be a human. Which is impossible, because he is obviously a penguin. (This can be determined by the pengpeng sound he makes) At the climax of the episode a human is trying to ''develop'', and this means destroying the animals home. Humans truly are greedy beings. But no worries Mr. Ando comes to the rescue and saves the day. The episode is coming to an end and the animals still couldn't find out if Mr. Ando was a human. But Mr. Ando will always be a penguin in their hearts. The episode fades out with a wonderful solo about Mr. Ando, sung by the fish. After watching it I immediately recommended it to about a dozen people, some hate me now, some think this was the funniest thing ever. To me it's just magnificent. You have nothing to lose by watching a 5 minute short, do it.

A 6 minutes One episode anime Do you like weird? Especially some really Japanese ish? Well here you go, knock yourself out with this one XD Mori no andou has this same kind of weirdness and somewhat visuals just like the infamous Onara Gorou. Truth be told I really don´t know what to say besides it is epic in its weirdness XD This is the one you troll your friends with but still having a chance of not loosing your friends compared to other shocker videos. Well I had a fun time, 6 minutes I will never get back but which was somewhat enjoyable in its weirdnessXD I really need to start to watch normal anime again >.<

You either get it or you don't, and it's quite clear from the score this has received the people reviewing it don't. Perhaps the subtleties are lost on those with no knowledge of Japanese. Perhaps people thought this was a true, studio produce animation feature. It's not. It was drawn, animated, and voiced by the same man, Takashi Taniguchi, who animates both as a hobby and professionally. He started his own anime production while still in university because he enjoyed it. People ranting about the art and animation is equivalent to ranting about the art and animation of the asdf movies, or the lazer collection, or "look atmy horse" end of ze world, schfifty five. These works are tongue in cheek, satirical, and self-aware. To put it succinctly, "lighten up." I've given this 10 across the board. That does not mean it has Art as good as a Ghibli film, or sound design as good as a Jojo series. Things must be judged in the proper context, and in the context of a five minute youtube video created by a single person as a passion project, it is indeed worthy of the highest praise. The humor hits all the marks. Most are immediately thrown off guard by the human-like faces on the animals, and by the same person doing all of the voices. I think the divisiveness probably first really hits when the bee, describing the last time the bear asked him for honey, does an exaggerated, sexualized mockery of the bear. If you find a grown man's girlish moans of a human-faced bee saying "lick lick" in Japanese funny, you'll probably enjoy the rest. Most laudable is the voice acting, which constantly lampshades its low budget-ness as Taniguchi, instead of inserting sound effects, simply uses the Japanese onomatopoeia: instead of a building shaking he simply drolly states "go go go go, go go go go" (rumble rumble). And the carefully chosen gaffes "ぺーおれペンギンだよ" (Pe-- I'm a penguin!) that sound (and perhaps are) ad-libed add to the charm. Like all humor, not everyone will enjoy it, but for those that do like myself, it has secured a special place in my mind of the vault of classics that the internet has produced.

Rate a 2 English Subtitles Story very bland. Guarding land. Character's actions on reasoning is bad. For example one character clearly makes a statement on observation and was very descriptive with what he witnessed. Then comes another visual test and he fails hard. what? Art Poorly animated. Color use was fine. Art did not look realistic. Sound I am not 100 percent sure but sounded a whole lot like a one man band. where one person is responsible for vocals for all characters. In some cases the vocals were dry due to lack of enthusiasm. As for special effects they went the cheap way. They made or attempted depending on view byanimating by mouth. Character good definitely use more background on the main character. what made him do this? is he right in the head? is this a dream? Enjoyment I would say watch this but trying to find something kind to say about it is hard.
