- Amazing Nuts
One of Studios 4C newest works. As usual we have here a compilation of short stories, this time in the form of four video clips with their very own style and animation.
Ep. 1 - Global Astroliner Gou. By Director & Character designer: Daisuke Nakayama & featuring sound clip "She loves the cream" by M-flo Panda.
This clip is pretty similar with one of those Gorillaz videoclips, art and even the music, I wonder if it was on purpose. Good entertaining clip..
Ep.2 - Glass Eye. By Director: Takashi Yamashita, Character designer: Koji Morimoto and Music by Ram Rider "Smile Again".
Character design by Koji Morimoto but they didn't seem like it at all, it could have been a better videoclip if they had spent more time on it, features some sort of electro music on it..
Ep. 3 - kung-Fu Love. By Director & Character designer: Yasuhiro Aoki and Music by Koda Kumi "Twinkle".
Best video on the compilation, beatiful animation, character design, story. The music was some sort of R&B wich I'm not very fond of, but the anime is what matters here. Very good.
Ep. 4 - Joe and Marilyn. By Character designer: Nobuya Ishida and Akihiro Kawamura and Music by: Mink "Here by my side".
Definatelly the worst video on the bunch, built solely on CGI animation, it doesn't grab me at all. Music is in the line of Whitney Houston or something similar.
My taste doesn't allow me to watch too much 3D animation nor to hear to much music on this style.
In the overall it was a refreshing OVA, as always by Studios 4C. I'm just awaiting now for someone to sub "Tekkon Kinkreet" which got a Mainichi award.
