Spoilers Warning: That is if you care. I think I just stumbled across the biggest Anime abomination ever in my life. I mean, Shitcom and No Littering were stupid and hilarious, but Pinky...? To an extent, I'd probably call it one of the most gruesome, disturbing, and graphically dark ONAs that exist. Only reason you should watch this ONA is to probably have a blast (sarcasm) and be purposely disturbed by it. Or of course, just to fill in that completed anime list. Story is super quick. A guy and a girl have an idea of filming something, so then he starts filming, then she whoops outa chainsaw, and then the person she has that's tied is now getting mauled and chainsawed to death by her with her blood and intestines flying all over the place. Then they finish filming it, and then...Upload it on the internet...Yeah...nnBasically this ONA is the embodiment of insanity, twisted idea, and gruesome showing. Nothing much to be honest. This ONA is basically on the same level that you see in Robot Chicken or any other adult swim cartoon you see with it's blood splatting gruesome dark twisted scenes veiled with dark humor. One thing about this ONA is that it makes Goblin Slayer look like a kids show. Only 3 characters exist who have zero development whatsoever which is intended to be like that, and the basic sound effects, and only some air conditioning sound effect exists, and only 1 quick song plays at the very end of the credits which barely sounds like a song. nnEnjoyment? Well, if you like dark humor with sick twisted ideas and a rather disturbing watch. Then I guess this series would be for you. Otherwise, if you value your sanity, then stick to My Hero Academia and Black Clover. If you did watch this ONA already, then try and watch Umaru Chan or any other slice of comedy to cheer your mind up since you probably feel darked out already. Overall, a 1/10 Anime. If there was a 0 for the rating, then I'd probably give a 0/10. As expected lol. -

I gave it a four(bad flick) no audio in terms of voice Story is supposed to be a comedy and horror. Horror i will agree on. You do see a death but the death is quite tame and predictable. As for comedy? how? aside from the death the killer(s) depending on your view make there crime public. Is it comical because the killers have a dark scene of humor and are sharing it with like minded people? Going away from the story's genre choices to more on the story line what the fu(@? i mean seriously? i know the movie is a little over two minutes longbut give the viewers an idea what is going on. How did the victim get there? why are the killer(s) sharing their work? is that a suit the girl is wearing or body paint? is one of the killer's mind that of a child? This art reeks of unanswered questions. The least the creator could have done is have a shot scene of a newspaper that might explain the backstory. Yet, they did not. nnCharacter: next to nothing for a back story can't really comment further.nnSound: you heard a chainsaw big whoop!nnI could drone on but i will finish with a couple more sentences. I could have easily gave this a 1 or 2 but the artwork was decent for clay animation plus given the time frame a lot of work was put in. -

Feels like a crack about the director's own upload history, but WHEW. I did not see that coming. The lovingly detailed gore foreshadowed only by the lovingly detailed way the loli girl's hair rustled while she worked on starting the chainsaw. Like, more than even the other extremely gory and explicitly zombie-themed shorts made by this person, this one feels like violence. Which, again, is an incredible achievement in making claymation feel like realism. Wow. I've seen most of what I care to of this director's works (Pussycat will be the finale for me), and they have a lot of great reasons to be proud ofthemself. Regardless of how unprepared MAL's main demographics are to appreciate these things, they're masterworks. Even his earlier ones, but especially his later works.
