Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei Specials

Reviews so far are strange, how could one like the original but shorts that are like a microcosm not? They're simply extras, does one expect a retelling of the original in the length of one episode? How also does it not seem like they simply were trying to be comedic like the original too? They're just an addendum to a unique series, but that doesn't take away from being their own thing; third short may have been the better one but that doesn't mean they weren't all like a mini-TG (mostly the comedy). How can anyone say this is 'nonsense' when that is the point ofthe original and others like it e.g. his other film Mind Game and Night is Short. Might as well complain about the 'nonsense' in Alice in Wonderland...

Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei is one of the best anime series I have ever seen, thanks to its combination of a realistic story (for the most part), its original art and all the ideas it was trying to transmit. However, to my disappointment, the specials included with the DVD version were nothing like the 'main' series. These 3 shorts episodes follow the main characters from the show telling some weird fantastic stories that feature themselves doing crazy stuff to solve an even crazier problem. It goes without saying that the stories they tell are neither realistic nor have anything to do with the plot of theTV series. To make things worse, most of the things in the stories aren't even explained and are resolved in a pretty stupid way wich leaves you with a ''What the hell did I just watch'' impression. Overall, even if you're a fan of Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei I wouldn't recommend watching this, as these specials don't add anything at all to the series as there's no plot at all, and it won't leave you a good impression at all (something the ending of the TV series most likely did). To be honest, this just felt like a waste of time, but at least the episodes were short. Scorings: Story (1/10): the 'mini-stories' told in the episodes are pretty stupid and aren't even explained (if they were, they could had been at least somewhat interesting) Art (7/10): the art is more or less the same as in the TV series, though there is much less symbolism, there are no 'real images' and it feels a bit duller in general. Sound (4/10): while the voice acting is what we are used to, the conversations are pretty shallow and uninteresting, the sound effects less common (as in there aren't many), and the background music unimpressive. There are also no OP/ED themes. Character (4/10): while the characters are the same as in the main series, there's no development and they do silly things just for the hell of it. Enjoyment (4/10): the only thing that is enjoyable of the specials is that you can get some laughs because of the ridiculous stuff that happens, but other than that, the specials are forgettable. Overall: 4/10

The original anime was pretty interesting for me to watch, as it seemed pretty unique to other anime from the art styles and dementia-like scenes, but this special had a pretty mediocre story for me to watch. A story of someone narrating a dream that didn't make much sense isn't a story that I and many viewers would be interested in watching, according to what I've seen and the ratings as well. A rather dull story to watch for a special. The art was alright. It was the same as the TV series, which was neither really well made or not made well. The voiceswere pretty well synced with the characters, but that's pretty much it. There was a lack of other background sounds or too few for me to find this realistic (within that world) enough. The characters were not as lively as what I've seen from the series. They were quite dull and boring to me. They do appear to behave as they normally would, based on their personalities, but kind of appeared as if they were acting in one of Masaki's poorly made movies rather than in an actual dream. I did not enjoy this very much, mostly because of the boring plot and the dull characters, and overall, I found this to be a pretty mediocre anime to watch.

The thing is, because the show concluded so well, the scenarists couldn't find what to make the Specials about... so they just made the main cast tell themselves surreal stories about the "group"... wow... on top of that, the stories aren't "narrated" by the characters who tell it, but instead are animated and voice-acted normally. So the specials add almost nothing to the series... yeah... very "meh", right? But! It seems like the 2nd Special references a movie the producers of Tatami Galaxy made. So that's nice I guess. *there's a moment where a character says "the girl of the apple" or whatever: https://myanimelist.net/anime/34537/Yoru_wa_Mijikashi_Arukeyo_Otome Story: 6 -At least they didn't make the original series' story worse. Art: 7 - The style is maintained from the original, (as expected,) but it seems like they rushed the animation; the faces look weird at times. Sound 8 Characters 7 - No character devlopment. Enjoyment 3 - You'll feel like the Specials wasted 18 minutes of your life.
