Shigeru

Truly the great work of art i have ever witnessed. I stumbled upon this masterpiece when I was searching the Dementia Category on KISSANIME by pressing random, and this was the great result of the search. As a watcher of many dementia category animes, I must say this one is perhaps one of the greatest ones I have seen. It gets even more majestic every. single. time. Why haven't you watched it? It's less than 10 seconds long go for it! Watch it! The entire thing is great. Obviously it has a great story, the art is just immaculate, the sound is superb to anything else,and the one character whos head spins around is just beautiful.

Shigeru is one of the many ONA shorts created by animator Sawako Kabuki. She’s known for her depictions of the female form, which is featured in this short as well. While it is clear she knows what she’s doing and has skill in animation, this particular short doesn’t show that off. This short feels more like a joke or a meme, rather than being anything serious with an underlying meaning, so there’s nothing more to really uncover or understand, it just is what it is. The only kinda positive thing I could say about this particular work is that within its short run time of10 seconds, it can can cause a reaction, whether it be laughing at how ridiculous it is or feeling a little uncomfortable, which may actually be the goal.

Rate:2 no vocals *interlaces fingers, bends outwards. Shakes hands.* do you recall jesters? Do old timely? okay, how about jokers? Nothing? *sigh* don't tell me you are not aware of the old Rick Astley joke. I am not sure what started it but took his 'never gonna..." song and was cued in gag videos. I was not a fan but i grasped the idea. Here in this animation is a more lack luster gag. A pointless 10 sec 'meme' if you prefer, that is not only terrible to see but to hear. For it provides nothing of interest. The plot of it as good as expired milk.For both has no retain-able substance value. Sure, one could turn it to cheese (improved form) but that would take time and skill. Not worth the effort. As for the art it a work of a has been. Someone who has lost the urge to create masterpieces and decided a cut and paste job would work. Only, positive things i can say about the art is the animation was smooth for the walking aspect. And, the background was nice. If you want further kind messages you wont be getting any. Move on to anything you have in life. This should remain buried in the darkness of the shadows.

I believe the highest compliment one can bestow upon a work of art is experiencing it for a second time immediately upon completion of the first. Enter Shigeru, a nine-second absurdist film by a vulgar woman that features the beautiful and purple face of a Mr. Shigeru Matsuzaki. I’ve watched it more than one times, I didn’t count. As it takes longer to read a review than it does to watch the film, the words of the review are meaningless. All that truly matters is the big blue star and big beautiful 8 I’ve bestowed upon this little flick. I liked itand I’m giving you permission to ignore the low rating and like it as well. A low rating that I simply do not understand. At what point in those nine seconds did your ego rise to such a level that you not only couldn’t smile at the absurdity of a pinkish manwoman walking across an alien moon whilst a Japanese singer-slash-actor’s photorealistic purple-filtered face manically spun around, but deemed it necessary to spitefully strike it down with a 1/10 rating? Why are you so miserable?
