mulligan: yay you got it!

I think this clip serves well as an introduction if you are going to watch all of Genius Party in one setting (I prefer this).

the opening made the most impact on me amongst all the clips that i saw. I saw it as being a sort of quiet outcry from artists in Japan towards their commercial clients who often do not give them much respect for their individual freedom of expression. and then here’s genius party, a project where they can make their magic happen without a care about their sponsors or clients :D

oh okay, I meant the 6th one then. And as I suspected, it was the same creator as Kaiba.

Thanks for the info.

@Denizen: The fifth one? Isn’t that the psychology-philosophy babble one? Though I suppose we may be numbering them differently-sixth is Happy Machine, directed by Masaki Yuasa, who did in fact do Kaiba.
This first one may actually be my favorite so far, actually.

oh, and I just noticed this statement:

“The honour of kicking off Genius Party goes to Atsuko Fukushima, which couldn’t have been a better choice, as she also did the opening and ending for Genius Party”

Did you mean to reference another show, here? (delete this comment if you want)

Awesome, I was hoping you would blog this, and in parts.

Anyways, per usual this episode made absolutely no sense whatsoever (there might have been some deeper meaning, but WHOOSH), but it was stunningly beautiful, as expected of a 4c production.

Part 5 reminds me a lot of Kaiba, which is nice. My favourite is probably Part 2, though.

It had a story?
Though I fail to see it as being thought-provoking, it was weird, pretty and damn awesome fun to watch.
