People giving this a 10 might possibly be the wildest thing I've ever seen. I watched this because of one of my friends on here had and it looked interesting. There isn't much I can really say on this to be honest. It's an animation of someone driving a car with a load of madness being cleaned? Is it cleaned? I don't know. Let's say cleaned off of the windscreen. That's it. It's seconds in run time. So, given there is literally nothing I can really say about it, good or bad, it has a 5/10. It's kind of pointless to be honest but it's not garbage. I don't know guys. Watch it if you like, it won't do you any harm.

When I first watched this years ago, I gave this ONA a 5 out of 10 since it was just 37 seconds of a windshield wiper of a car. But after rewatching and reading some of the reviews I decided to bring it up one score. The fact it's supposed to represent a drunk driver and the effects of driving drunk makes it easier to understand the message of this short animation.
The audio is pretty fun with it repeating over and over while the face gets wiped over and over as well. I'm not sure if I would recommend this to anyone nor would I be confident that people would watch it anyway.

After watching it I felt like the story was supposed to take the viewer on a trip but it kind of just felt as if I was watching a driver drive and all the thoughts that run through my head while trying to kill time waiting to get to my destination. It was interesting. The images made me think of when I would go to school or go to the store in the car, It was simple, and yet I was still intrigued by it. There wasn't any real characters other than the driver, and even that can be debatable. Other than that it was a nice and relaxing watch and its really short almost like watching a long commercial so I say it can't hurt to watch.

POV: you came from mal-badge.
This anime is where the mc drives in the middle of a rain and he wipes off the rain in his windshield and after a few seconds people's faces starts to stick to his windshield and he just wipes it off and the cycle repeats. I like the animation even though its just practice and I like the sounds effects specially the screams lol. It has true meaning like the most helpful review here said, You can ignore everything if your drunk because you will eliminate your obstacles who is in your way whatever it is. I just came from mal badges so don't roast this review.

This was SO CLOSE to being a 10/10 for me. A journey of joy in every way. However, there was this single error that put me off from giving it the rating it so deserved.
**Spoilers**
Story: 10/10
The dream of a fantastic story, a great tale, it comes from this. A perspective that must be earned by the viewer, wondered and thought distantly of. It fulfilled my fantasy of aggressively running over people on the road, over and over… and merely cleaning their remains off the windshield. This anime has a better story than 70% of J.C Staff’s backlog of animes’. A truly once ina lifetime experience.
Characters: 9/10
The characters, they entranced me. Their emotions and backstory, their lives so well embedded into our screens. Winning hearts over in a matter of seconds. I only fault it for ther…

Greatest anime ever created 10/10. 001 > your top anime
Story- 10/10
The story is what drew me into this fantastic series & couldn't believe it ended so uppruply with a bittersweet ending that will give you nostalgia everytime you come back to this anime.
Art- 10/10
The art style was really beautiful & truly magnificent with how the visuals make you feel like you were there.
Music/sound- 10/10
One of the more emotional type sounds that will make you think back to your younger & innocent days as a child & couldn't ask for more with how it fit so well with the plot & how barrack obama & donald trump came together in harmony to stop the alien invasion & when that soundtrack started playing i almost cried.
Overall- 10/10
You have to see it for yourself it was truly a great experience

I exhaled from the nose twice.
... that's it that's the review, or at least that's what I would've liked to be, but MAL has a minimum character requirement, so I think I could give a couple more words to this 40 seconds animation.
Story 1
There is no story, it's just a simple animation.
Art 5
Probably the "stand out" part of this animation, simple and clean. Sound 3
Funny stock sfx.
Character 1
SPOILERS
There is the protagonist, who probably got isekaied to a better world after the events of this animation.
I don't know if the looping animation represents different people or it's just the same unluky dude, but if you're really trying to find something deeper from this animation, then I think you should stop.
Enjoyment 4

Dude this thing is a modern masterpiece
I am sooo happy that I am alive to see this Masterpiece
I believe everyone should give this a watch at least once in their lives ( IT’S THAT GOOD )
It is definitely a 10/10
DUDE JUST ON AHEAD AND WATCH THIS THING GO ON GIVE IT A TRY, I KNOW YOU WANNA DO IT.
In all seriousness what the hell was this thing. It was just a person getting squashed every 2 seconds and making a different sound every time ?
Anyways the sound effects were the only thing it had going for itself
And obviously this review was meant to be a joke so don’t think this thing is actually a masterpiece

This is by far one of the greatest shows I have ever witnessed. My favorite quality about it is that it allows the viewer to fill in their own details by being extremely simple. This way, you can't hate the show.
Story - 10
As said, you can create your own story leading up to the events portrayed, and as such it can be perfect. 10/10
Art - 10
Again, as there is a lot left to the imagination, impossible to dislike.
Sound - 9
This was one part that the anime portrayed fully in its own way, and while very good the fact that sounds produced by the same character were different was somewhat unsettling. This may have been an artistic choice, however subjectively I have to deduct points for that. 9/10
Character - 8
Unfortunately the weakest part, all the characters essentially did the same t…

MAL ratings do sound questionable half of the time. I agree with others when they point out that this title isn’t exactly a 1 (Appalling). Can a few minutes of almost seemingly random animation with a plot that’s not as clear be Appalling?
To me it deserves a 5 for Average/Mediocre. It’s not bad in a sense, but to me I wasn’t able to grasp the point of this. Maybe if I take more time or if I look into it deeper, I might get an understanding of this but the number of times I hit that replay button did not expand my understanding of this work at all.
A 5 for effort and the initial idea behind it. A 5 for the execution and the lack of clarity in the final product.

001 is a bold statement about the shortness and absurdity of life, which is realised masterfully by the use of increasingly comedic sound effects attached to the comparably dark theme of pedestrians being run over in front of your eyes, as the driver merely keeps ploughing through. In other words, Okuda is saying that for one to adequately appreciate life, one must see fate's often wry sense of humour.
Art-wise, this piece is distinctly average, the slight jitter and wobble in animation is appreciated, but overall it is nothing memorable. This being said, the angle of the video and simplistic style adds to the video by instilling an air of unimpressed normality that finds itself in stark dichotomy to both the dark theme and hilarious sound effects.
On the sound effects, they are what ma…

TL;DR SCORES:
- 5 for Story
- 9 for Art
- 10 for Sound
- 8 for Character
- 7 for Enjoyment
- 8 for the Overall merit of it.
I think a lot of people have already said what this is, but now I will. This is a short 30+ second animation made by Masaki Okuda, which most of us probably watched because the numeration made it look perfect on our lists!
The story is simple. It's an animation playing with the physics of life, and reflects a surreal and wacky reality that only animation could really cross. It's a fun gag for a very short animation. It really gets a 5/10 from me, but what can you expect from something so short?
The art is crisp. What more could you expect from a piece of Sakuga? It definitely feels like those sorts of animations that people used to make on a cheap animation so…

What is there to say about this masterpiece that hasn't already been said. It leaps beyond the bounds of human creativity. Dare I say that this is the 8th wonder of the world. I loved this title so much that I watched it 69 times. Not 68. Not 70. I made a pact with God that would allow me to slay all my enemies if I watched this glorious anime 69 times. It was hard, but I did it.
Story: Exquisite. 10 (Outstanding)
Art: Sakuga. 10 (Outstanding)
Sound: Breathtaking. 10 (Outstanding)
Characters: Phenomenal. 10 (Outstanding) Enjoyment: Edge of my seat. (Outstanding)
Final Score: 5
I don't know any of the history behind whatever this is or why it is even on MAL. All I know is that I watched it. Frankly... I watched it for an achievement. It's not worth watching for much else.

Man, was this a funny watch.
I'm going to crack some jokes throughout this review, but overall, I'm going to keep it as an actual review.
Story-
Man what a great story. A person running multiple others over. All jokes aside, basically no story. Like absolutely none.
Art-
A literal masterpiece. Mostly just sketches. Sound-
Weird sounds when he hits the people, a little funny.
Character-
Just a person running over some people, just your average person.
Enjoyment-
As bad as this short was, it was actually a funny little watch,
Overall-
Bad, yet funny. Did a good job for what it is.

I´m amazed this has a low score, no matter how you look at it, all I see is a deep, philosophical animation about the harshness of daily life, in which the main character is trapped in a never-ending loop, that we call life.
Story: 30 seconds of animation changed my way of looking at life, I´ll rate this 11/10 if possible.
Art: The dark traces contrast the empty-white backround, making an outstanding piece of art.
Sound: I don´t know who did the voice acting, but you can tell he is a pro. The way they changed the screams every time the loops repeated means that even though it´s repeating, the people were not the same as before, they are evolving.
Character: You don´t know the names, the roles of the characters, but somehow you can feel their pain, or better said, you feel identified wi…

Well, as this is a short animation, it is gonna be a cool short review too ! This animation is very misunderstood by some sort of bullsh1t dark humor short when its not it, if you pay enough attention you will see that what the car "runs over" actually falls into it, and if you look frame by frame or just pay a bit more attention, you will realize it falls like a baby and ends up "aging" as the animation goes on. So with that in mind, the meaning to this is probably show that life passes to everyone like a car in a rainy day.
The animation quality is not the great, more effort could have been invested on it, as for some poeple i believe was a huge red flag for calling it a bad anime, the sound is good, you can understand what is going one, character ? not much to it, and overall a 4/5 is…

While I only rated this anime a 5, I truly believe this is worth your short time. Having watched the entirety of the episode I let out a few chuckles and smirks and recommend this to anyone who wants something quick to watch
While I believe this is a masterpiece rated 5 I would loved to of seen some more development of the protagonist
But overall this was a fun 30+ seconds and would like to find more quick anime’s to view and I feel like there is a deeper meaning to this that I just unfortunately don’t see
But to say that this is 37 seconds long, I enjoyed that more than some of the 20 minute + episodic anime’s

“This says a lot about society”. That's what my meme-loving side would love to say, but it seems, MAL does not allow for short reviews so I'll have to stall, or write an informative, distinctive essay. Take it as you will.
I remember back in the day, I wanted to practice my writing skills, and as I was heavy on Anime even back then, I thought I could review every Anime I watched, and thus, win both the entertainment that comes with watching an Anime and the skills that develop after writing countless reviews left and right. That was 3 to 4 years ago, and a lot changed during that time. I had this ONA scheduled for a review along with several other shorts, but it seems, for some reason, I ended up sleeping on it all of these years, until now. I think I would have tried to buy as much effor…

I will start off by saying that I watched this anime for the sole purpose of getting the MAL badge. I didn't really know what to expect when I initially saw the cover art and the overall score it was given but I kept an open mind.
Story - 1
The story doesn't go anywhere. You are in a first-person scenario and driving in the rain which pretty much sums up the entire anime.
Art - 2
It was a very simple art design with no colors. Not flashy or exciting in the slightest.
Sound - 2
If the sound of rain wiper blades excites you then I guess you could have enjoyed it. You get some interesting sounds when hitting people but that is exciting as it gets. Honestly could have watched the whole thing on mute and gotten relatively the same experience.
Character - 1
Okay, so you are the driver and y…

When searching for quick time wasters, one usually searches for something that is funny, memorable, maybe even a bit interesting. I would have to say that 001 combines all of these very well.
Story: 6 To avoid spoilers, it was better than what I've seen some full Anime make in five episodes, and this had 37 seconds so.
Art: 7 Very simple art design leaves it to the imagination to fill in the color and the world around it.
Sound: 7 Starts off with realistic sound effects that are quickly replaced by random sounds that bring a hint of comedy to a rather dark concept.
Character: 5 Not a lot of characters that are notable here. They all basically do the same, just different sound effects. However, the characters weren't detrimental to the show so... five!
Enjoyment: 8 I mean, it was 37 se…
