Wow! I thought that first one looked decent but the other three sucked, each more aggressively than the one before it. The girl in the last clips was supposed to be singing but mostly looked like a pink pineapple goldfish or something. BAD.
Didn't hate it that much ;) but yeah, they're kind of underwhelming overall. I wouldn't call any of them outright bad, but the second and fourth looked about five years out of date... the third had some interesting design work, but nothing that really grabbed me and the song was nothing special. I agree the first one was the best - easily the standout song of the four and the animation just had a lot more life, more energy.
Doesn't look like any kind of a must-have item - at least it's cheaper than Japanese DVDs usually are but $28 is still way, way too rich for my blood. For completists only, I hazard a guess.
It looks good to me. I'm really excited to see the third one. This movie doesn't have any dialogue right? Because the dvds don't have subtitles.
I expected a hell of a lot better from a Studio 4°C project with a title like AMAZING NUTS. The first segment looks decent. The rest looks unimpressive by NOISEMAN SOUND INSECT and MINDGAME standards. Or really, unimpressive by the standards of anything else I've seen from the company. Most regrettable of all, no Yoko Kanno segment. That's a damn shame.
At least the m-flo and Koda Kumi videos are out in the form of PVs on TV, and have made their way online already.
maybe you guys should watch it first before you dog it... I do agree about the forth clip about looking bad, not a big fan of pixar looking anime. the third clip caught my eye the most and i can't wait to see it.
