Ginga Tokkyuu Milky☆Subway

I initially caught this show while channel hopping back in Tokyo a few months ago. While I wasn't too interested in the show (count it as anti-3D bias), what I saw in those 3 minutes captivated me. Great direction with a sharp sense of comic timing, the show packs more of a punch in 3 minutes than most shows could pull off in 20. I was sold. Describing how well the action, cinematography, and comedy flows would just do it a disservice. The whole thing is about 40 minutes, tops, and there isn't a dull moment in the show, whether it's hacking a robot or fixingsome circuitry. Milky Subway is practically a solo endeavor, and you can really feel the love and passion from Kameyama. With full creative control, you can really feel his vision shine through in every episode. Milky Highway was a very nice graduate project, but it was still a graduate project at the end of the day. Subway on the other hand is definitely more fleshed out, and you can tell he's planned something like this out for a while now. I can only hope that we get more in the Milky series down the line. Not just because Kameyama is a capable director/writer/storyboard artist, but because I've become infatuated with the world he's created, and reading up on all the world building just makes you wanna explore the world he's created and find out what else he has in store. Don't sleep on this. This show is the most original I've seen in years. 8/10

Just a really fun short story with amazing voice acting, super fun and entertaining to watch, with a top-level 3D animation and great humor. Simply a fun, complete short show that you finish in like 40 minutes, and want more. Charismatic characters that have great chemistry between them and a way of speaking that really soaks you in the atmosphere. It's no joke, one of the best 3D animated animes out there. Also, there's a great direction work and you can feel the love put into this project. I rate it a 10 just because of how short but fun it is, you don't feelthat there's a single second wasted. It started as a college project that evolved into a free-to-watch YouTube show, and I would recommend it to basically anybody since it also has dub and it's really short.

This is tied as my favorite show next to Frieren. It was just so fun from start to finish. The performances were so fluid and natural. I speak Japanese and it honestly sounded like normal conversation while still being packed with character and emotion. Everyone was just so in sync. Talking over each other at the perfect time, falling silent at the perfect time, everything was so polished. And most of all, it perfected how to show, not tell. Nobody, not even once, directly stated how much they cared for another character. They always demonstrated it through action or reaction. It respected the audience's abilityto fill in the gaps which made it seem so much realer, I genuinely felt like a fly on the wall watching real people. And the sheer amount of world-building they were able to pack into each line of dialogue is astounding, it's such a rich piece of art. Normally when watching any piece of media, it's easy to go into Analysis Mode and start saying things like "Ah, so that's why they're showing us this scene, they want to communicate this idea, which leads into this next event, and adds flavor to this character's development arc." That didn't happen once for me while watching this. It's just so captivating that dissociating like that wasn't even an option. And to do all this while making some of the most lovable characters I've ever seen is just incredible. Each character, from design to voice to behavior, makes you want to root for them from the first few seconds they're introduced. It's simply a masterpiece. I wish I was a mega-billionaire so I could shower this creator and studio with generational wealth to produce dozens of seasons of whatever they want.

For the incredibly short run time this show has, it puts in a lot of ground work. There are plenty of genuinely funny jokes, character moments, and pretty decent action scenes as well. It’s animated really well and the world of the show is so interesting and weird that it could easily spawn dozens of different stories set in this universe. Any criticisms? The short run time really leaves you wanting more. A lot of the characters tend to talk over each other quite a bit, making a few scenes pretty chaotic. That’s about it though really! Check this out if you have about 40 minutes orso to spare! It’s free and has a ton of language support on YouTube!
