AniWorthBattle of Clay 2
Introduction
Two men are playing rock-paper-scissors, but this version has a painful twist: whoever loses the round will be whacked on the head with a mallet. A bowl will offer them protection from the blow but only if they are quick enough to grab it. Tension builds as the game begins. What will the outcome be?

This was pretty awful... but I would still watch it because it is SO short and honestly just a clip that makes you question life. Don't expect the level of quality from the 1st Battle of Clay "anime" as it is quite janky and really just not as good. HOWEVER, it is still worth watching and made me laugh once. Characters are there. The art style is... somehow there. The plot was somewhat there?
So overall, that's 1 point for claymation and 1 point for a laugh. I would also suggest watching it with sound because it... well... enlightens? the experience? I really don't know anymore...

Rate a 2 (dreadful)
No vocals nor words
art piece
Story
Basic. A popular know game is being played but slightly different.
Art
nice color. Animation is okay. I say okay and not good becuase there is not alot of movement. When the majority of moment is applied towards the end it is confusing and dumb. let's us just say moment requires feet. Transitions were good. Sound-pointless unless you like grunts.
Character
there is no character data. They could be human or zombies or something else. It is unclear. Actions take are also unclear. Did they choose to play? were they forced? Is the scene that of the afterlife? So many questions.
Enjoyment
This artist i am not a fan of but among all of his works i would say this one would fall at the bottom. Here is why in a more painted mental visual c…

If you thought the first Battle of Clay was bad... just wait until you see this
This time we have just two claymen who look like old men playing rock paper scissors with each other. Right next to them lies a clay hammer and a clay helmet. As far as I could understand, whoever wins the game gets to pick up the hammer, and the loser gets to put on the helmet. The hammer guy will then try to smash the hammer into the head of the loser before he manages to put the helmet on. The game goes on until one guy gets killed in the process. Just brilliant
The animation is even worse because the damn claymen barely even move. They just sit there shaking their fists for the majority of the video
What really kills this one however is the audio. Again, there are two versions following the same pattern…

Battle of Clay 2 is the second short film made by Nagao Takena, that picturesque dude who likes to make clay as violent as possible.
The only sentence in the synopsis sums pretty well what happens: two dummies (actually, half of them, since they don't have legs) play rock paper scissors (or Jan ken po, if you prefer), and the looser have to wear a pot in his head, and get hammered (literally) by the winner. The animation is quite poor (similar to Speed Racer, but with clay xD), the characters are grotesque, no landscapes at all (really, we only see black), and the sound is very bad.
That being said, most of you are probably wondering why I give this a 5 and no less. Well there are two reasons: first, it last less than 2 minutes so, no matter how bad…
