    great art, great fun

    Don't look for a linear story or homogenous style here; it's more about impressions, themes, and the mesh of atmospheric music with dynamic animation. expect an experience, but don't expect a one-foot-in-front-of-the-other narrative. also, watch through the credits. they're not at the end.

    Trippy animation and music

    It's a crazy feast for the eyes and ears. I was blown away for the whole show. The music is like grunge country blues and the animation is mesmerizing.

    Cool Concept & good music! Keep em coming Netflix!

    Japanese Anime + scuzzy rock music by Sturgill. Love the idea behind this and the visuals are great and vary from song to song. Basically a 40 minute music video. Does kinda feel like the animation doesn't coincide with the music but still very entertaining and the art direction is on point. Think the Black Keys scoring a samurai western apocalypse short film.

    Great anime short..with a killer soundtrack.

    This was great. Excellent neo-steampunk visuals of a dytopian future, remniscent of 1981's Heavy Metal. Mizusaki's anime is awesome as Simpson flexes his musical muscle, in this soon to be cult classic. A well spent 41 minutes.

    Great concept, poor execution?

    I love the idea of Netflix pouring money into an album and an artist to make an Anime-music-album-movie I really do. I really liked the first 15 minutes, with the samurai character, but dance sequence with all the other 'slaves' pulled me completely out of the story, even more so when it became live action.

    It should have been ONE good story, no dialogue but some sound would have brought the whole thing alive.

    I gave it a 7 only because I believe that this format could become a good medium that brings back music-videos back to their former glory.

    Watch it for the first 15 minutes, then you can go on to something else. But, as entertainment it's very niche.
