I did not see a review for this so I decided to write one. One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite musicians, the great Nobukazu Takemura. Takemura brings you upon a wonderful musical adventure. His composition "Sign" is a mix of idm, breakbeat, and abstract while vocaloids garble lyrics and sing along with next to no emotion. Sign does carry his trademark "child-like imagination" and "innocent playful" sound. The video is a story about a robot and some various creatures trying to take back their area from a factory. Sign shows a real life problem but set in a fantasy sci-fi world. There isa surprising amount of violence, blood, nudity, and sexual acts. Totally didn't expect the video to be like that all, but that's not necessarily a bad thing it's good to be surprised. I will be honest the art and animation does not stand up to the excellent music. The animation is not very fluent and elaborate. Some of the characters are also downright scary looking. The shading looks very odd as well and is a bit off putting. If you enjoy the genres I listed above then I highly recommend you check this out.
Main thought: I am glad it was on only 9 minutes long. That sucked! Overall a 1 I will be fair i did give it some slightly higher rankings. the art work/animation was that of a rookie. The storyline: it did make sense i think. Without any words i can only assume. I think it was a take on how modern society in this case in a futuristic point has devastated society. The demand for change if not revenge built to a breaking point. However, this is just a thought. I do think this is a common problem in real life but the audio ruined it and any highchance for anything but a 1. audio: maybe it was just my copy but i guess they were going for a techno/futuristic beat with no vocals. What they did was something far worse. Imagine tons of echos, unnecessary tempo chances... a bid mess. Given how it was a music and not any classification is why it got just a 1 from me. I will not revisit this. Hell... you would have to pay me to watch it again. I am talking a good 20 bucks to be fair.
