Story
An anime is suppose to be a continued show. However, there are some like this one that don't abide to that logic. They experiment per say. Option 1 was okay but what if we go with option 2 for art and let's go with option 3 for story plot and option 4 for characters. Depending on how gradual the change is and the overall plot i can see a potential for the anime to work out. Not here. The change is entirely random. A true statement to the art/plot, hell even a fair rating of this show comes down to a literal dice roll. Meaning anywhere from 1 to 6. Why might that be? You know how when you watch a show you see a trailer in the introduction. Normally, it is followed along by a song of sorts. Now, imagine that are the episodes you are seeing. What a mess. Don'…

Digital Juice is a collection of terrible shorts that are largely not worth your time even despite their short length. Only two of the six are even worth mentioning, so I'll cover them right now.
The first is In the Evening of a Moonlit Night. It's the only good one, thus my 2/10 rating - only 1/6 of the shorts are worth watching, thus 1.67/10 rounded up to being a 2/10. It's a neat music video about a girl with a deformed chin and fingers for toes - in other words, pretty neat. Go watch it here and don't bother downloading the rest of the garbage shorts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l2M5K5yk9s
The second is Chicken's Insurance. Chicken's Insurance, much like the other four bad ones, is a piece of shit. But it's worth mentioning because of the song playing in the background. It's so…

Essentially, Digital Juice is a collection of very short pieces of animation, each of which tell a story of some description. Unfortunately, most of these stories are mediocre at best. Let's Review:
Part One: KEIKAKU
This segment is basically some sort of trailer for some sort of samurai film. It has an incredibly unfitting soundtrack, is poorly animated, and is basically incredibly odd. Probably the worst segment.
Part Two: Chicken's Insurance
This segment is considerably better than the previous one. It basically consists of an old chicken attempting to sell insurance to two delinquent chickens. It doesn't end well. The animation was alright, but certainly not the best the studio has to offer. Overall, it's a fairly decent segment.
Part Three: TOJIN KIT
This is the shortest segment in…

Overall, this was interesting to put the big Studio 4C productions next to modest projects like this one. Although it has very uneven content from each animators and clearly isn't their most interesting and intricate release, it was nice to see Osamu Kobayashi's Table and Fisherman - I suggest to watch End of the World by him on the Sweat Punch release, if you liked his absurd storyline and his character design - and my favorite definitely was Kazuyoshi Yaginuma's In the Evening of a Moonlit Night. Great discovery on that one.
I can understand that for some people liking more linear narratives and classic animation/chara design, this will be appaling and feel like a waste of time. However, if you're interested by experimental animation and something else than the more polished Studio 4C p…
