Personal Opinions
Mirsha
I watched this without influence from anyone else. After watching the first and second episode I felt kind of lost, the anime style with it's head shapes and colour seemed kind of childish to me. I really couldn't see why this series was any good, then I watched the third episode which is the critical litmus test. It becomes very obvious that the directional style challenges the subject matter in a provoking manner. The distinct presentation of the series, as a sequence of short stories which are not related, become a very unsettling factor as it constantly challenges any assumptions of presentation of the facts which have gone before it. It manages to present many sides of the same argument and keep them all unique in their own way to drag your interest into the new stories. Each short story in the series manages to keep your thoughts to the forefront and judgemental of all the other facts which have gone before it.
