Kamishibai Kintaro

I was not originally going to make a review of this but after reading a certain other review, I felt I needed to do it. This is going to be a little more open-minded and fair. There doesn't seem to be any definitive plot or narrative. It's basically animals wrestling each other. It seems more like a project that was meant for the fun of it rather than try and tell an actual story. I feel "other reviewers" judge it too harshly instead of appreciating it for what it is. I also think it was straight forward and easy to understand. It's not exactly aDavid Lynch film in which a lot of thought is needed. The story is basically animals wrestling each other for the most part like I said. The art was perfectly fine and the animation was actually quite good for 1934.. At least for a Japanese animation. We don't even know if it was done by a studio or just one person. If it was done by one person, consider me impressed. There was no sound. It's a cheaply made anime short from 1934. The characters were mostly animals. I remember seeing deer, rabbits, monkeys, and bears. There was also an overweight man and a lumberjack. The characters didn't have a whole lot of personality or time focused on them due to the anime only being seven minutes long. I enjoyed the anime overall. I'm a sucker for the classics and anything that paved the way for the things that came after. It's pretty important and all should appreciate these early examples of Japanese animation. Overall 6/10. I don't see how anyone could logically give it lower than a 5. It's not bad and I think the people who think this way are most likely between the ages of 8 & 17. They feel anything that's older than the year 20XX is automatically bad without taking into consideration it's importance and what it meant at the time it came out. Also shame on you if you're actually reading this long ass review for a seven minute long anime from 1934. There really isn't much to say about it for you to be this curious. Everything you need to know is in the anime which you could have finished by now.
