I actually have to give this a 10, as there was no way I could be surprised by something that fits into 17 minutes like I was.
The premise immediately interested me, while the character design positively reminded me of a few games, Borderlands (Sonny) and Dishonored (Dicko)..
The animation quality was quite excellent, with only a few facial expression hick-ups that could've been improved, but that's a major nitpick to be honest.
The choreography of the fight was great and more surprising than some big film choreographies.
On top of that, I absolutely loved how this absolutely did not shy away from gore and other adult themes and simply did what it wanted to.
So refreshing to see in the world of growing censorships, outrages and artists being constantly apologetic to crowds who just want to control others.
All of that combined with a genuinely surprising ending that I don't think I could've guessed and it was a VERY entertaining 17 minute short film.
Like user "nickxnothing" wrote in his review; This would make for a fantastic series of it's own and would definitely watch it.
