this is by far the greatest piece of fiction ever published to the online web-space. I am so honored to be a part of this historic treasure, and I think the plot to this anime rivals competitors like Attack on Titan and Keeping up With the Kardashians. I loved every second of this and the combat was unmatched. I re-watched this masterpiece again today as it was the dying wish of my pet hermit crab. The animation is flawless, the soundtrack made me cry, and the characters are very loveable. Love how the dog comes back at the end. 10/10

I think this is the most underrated meme anime of all time. Even though this is a clay stop-motion animation and it has no sound, the events in the story and the clay figures itself are preety well done. In my opinion this is the best part of the series (there is also Battle of Clay 2, and the 2019 remake, but they are both not great, and I'll probably write a review of them as well). I can definitely see why it has a very low score, but in my opinion it doesn't deserve to be one of the lowest rated anime on MAL. This is probably the highest non ironic review of Battle of Clay that you will ever see.

Rate of 4
art film has the choice with and without sound
Story
Hardly a story. A joker that starts a fight.
Art
Nicely animated for clay production. the transitions were smooth
Sound The approach was comical not action based. Sound effects needs tweaking in terms of audio level.
Character
No background. Yes, characters showed some emotion but that is all i can say. Is the clay color of the characters supposed to matter?
Enjoyment
Only worth your time and patience if you appreciate clay animation. Be warned this not for deep thinkers for you will find your self riddled with unanswered questions.
sincerely,
snapler

Want to waste 1 minute and 28 seconds of your life? Then this is for you
Battle of Clay is apparently a homemade video some guy did about some pieces of clay which are then formed into a couple of claymen. We then get to see them rolling around and fighting each other... in stop motion. So this isn't really 2D at all, it's actually live action (if you can count stop motion as "live" that is)
There is no semblance of a story whatsoever, they just attack each other with their fists, hammers and a ball of tape. There was also a pig involved somewhere along the way.... for god knows what reason
As far as audio goes, the creator has uploaded two different versions. The first one is a silent movie. Like literally, there's no audio whatsoever. The second one however does have sound... that is…

Battle of Clay (BoC) is the first short film made by Nagao Takena, that silly mate that has a wierd affinity with the clay.
With a humor similar to that in the Looney Toons, BoC is about a red clayman and a yellow clayman who fight in a cartoonish way. A dog is there, too.
The animation is... poor (after all, Takena made this film when he was in high school), the characters are very simple (the red man is plump, the yellow one looks like one of those heads in the Easter Island, and the puppy is... cute n_n), and there's no sound of any kind.
In summary, this short is simple (to not say bad) and low quality. I will recommend it to people who like Takena's style, and want to know how everything began. But, just like with Battle of Clay 2, I also recom…
