Love it or hate it. No in-between. And for a good reason.
If shitposting was a thing back in 2003 this thing would undoubtedly be the king of shitposts; executed almost flawlessly with the grace of a master meme maker. And most of the snowflakes on this platform would never understand that.
Utsu Musume Sayuri is the story of a mother that simply wanted the best for her daughter. A story of a husband that cared enough to let his wife STRIKE. A story of a loving father that never lets his partner leave his grasp, unless an important ceremony is due. A magnificent coming of age epos that showcases how important it is to STRIKE. Utsu Musume Sayuri is the story of a really good family. Simple as that.
Now then... Keep in mind this was made in 2003. The blending of 2D & 3D is done quite remark…

Japan, you never fail to amaze me.
When I first stumbled upon Utsu Musume Sayuri, I was kinda surprised to see that it had such a low score. I mean, its synopsis and cover picture aren't very appealing, but still, I thought to myself, "It can't be that weird, right?" Well, now that I have finally watched it, I can confidently say, it IS that weird. Actually, that would be a massive understatement. The word "weird" simply isn't enough to describe what Utsu Musume Sayuri is.
So, what is this 3 minute OVA all about? Apparently, it's about a "girl" named Sayuri who is about to carry out a bizarre ceremony in front of her family and friends. Well, that's what the synopsis on MAL says at least. Honestly, I wouldn't have known if I hadn't read the synopsis before. I would be lying if I said I w…

Utsu Musume Sayuri is the greatest mastapiece ever to have been constructed by mankind.
I can't believe that this show was actually made in the Stone Age. I mean seriously, we have popular anime like Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Naruto, and Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil that were all made in 2000's, and none even come close to Utsu Musume Sayuri's utter brilliance.
There are even shows like Sword Art Online, Domestic Girlfriend, and The Office pretty much ripping off this show, and that's why they are the worst shows ever all time.
"So why does this show have a 1/10 rating?", you may ask.
Well the answer is quite simple, you see.
This show was actually made by rap/hip hop legend Papa John, but it was completely stolen by the show's "director", Takashi Kimura.

At first it was confusing trying to understand who or what Sayuri was and why Utsu Musume Sayuri came into existence as it did seemingly out of nowhere, but then I discovered that there is no need for discovering its origin. In fact, I believe that the lack of origin only makes the show so much more impact with its delivery.
After my first viewing of this anime I was not sure what to think, and I was lost after the first 30 seconds. I laughed a few times in confusion of what was happening and weird it all was. When it was over I was left with little thought as to what had just happened, so I decided to watch it again thinking that there must be more behind the anime besides how unnatural everything seemed. And because the animation is so bizarre it was only natural that I fixated all of m…

Now let me tell you, you uncultured swine. This film is far too deep for any of you to understand. You thought Evangelion was a deep anime with thought provoking moments? Guess what, this film brings upon a new standard of advanced anime that no one has ever seen before. Simply comprehending it is impossible for your simplistic minds to see it's true greatness. Sayuri manages to speak on all controversies at once and fully explain the objective right answer to each one. Sorry peasents, but you're going to have to look at this 20 more times before seeing it's true beauty.

*This'll be a short one*
When you indulge in an audiovisual medium long enough, you will inevitably have at least one of "that moment". You know the one. The moment in which you yell "WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH?!" in a state of anger and confusion. There can be a number of reasons as to why this happened, none of which are ever good, at least in regards to what you're watching, not in justifying why you said what you said.
Maybe in the middle of a series, a plot point, story event, or plot twist pops up that really fucks up any logic of the series and/or it's characters (like episode 28 of SEED Destiny, the Sword of Akasha from Geass R2, any of the very middle (12-17) episodes of Re:Zero, etc.), and maybe you dropped it then and there. Maybe a season, film, or series had a horrendous…

I don’t want to write much in the way of a fancy introduction for a ‘review’ of Utsu Musume Sayuri, Striking Daughter, the kind of crap you’d find in one of Courage the Cowardly Dog’s nightmares or whatever you want to call this vomit-inducting smegma. I want to keep it straight-forward and easy to understand because honestly what the fuck…. Literally! At first I was asking myself not only what in God’s name was I watching, but what in the world would drive someone to make such absolute dog shit! This is the kind of weird shit that I thought was unimaginable; you couldn’t try to make this shit up, it’s just too far out there. And as I am here today, after the second and hopefully last time ever laying eyes on Utsu Musume Sayuri, I am still disturbed and traumatized by what I’ve witnessed.…

So, I think this anime is very odd, there's no mistaking it, however I actually came up with a theory.
I think this anime represents growing up.
Sayuri is essentially one body, with Hiroshi, her mother, and her father connected to her. I think this represents how children depend on their family.
When Sayuri's "time to strike" has come, the mother and father disconnect from Sayuri, this represents the child becoming independent in life.
The striking part represents raising a child, as in Asia the "tradition" would be to beat your children (I am Asian before you say anything).
Sayuri doesn't think much about beating her "child" as it is tradition, and the child doesn't fight back because it is tradition.
And that just about concludes my theory.

It seems someone at the party heavily spiked and/or drugged my drinks - I'm seeing some horrifying hallucinatio- ...oh, I'm clean and sober. That's even more concerning.
Behold, Utsu Musume Sayuri - a vivid visual metaphor for the hell it was spawned from; a place controlled by the deepest, darkest whims of the human mind. It lies in ruins, disfigured and disturbing to witness; the halls echo with the muffled screams of animators crying out for help; a satanic armchair director with who knows what kinds of fetishes looms over them with a black-souled whip.
Either that, or someone was just incredibly bored. Eventually, it becomes hard to tell.
There's a certain point where pure WTFactor goes too far. This is beyond that point. Rather than just being weird or weirdly hilarious, it comes o…

When I first began watching Utsu Musume Sayuri I was totally shocked. But now that I’ve watched it several times, I can understand the entertainment factor for the short. Even the first time I watched it, I couldn’t help but laugh at how weird it was.
According to other reviews that I’ve read, there have been a lot of trolls posting reviews about how “great” Utsu Musume Sayuri is. I would like to clarify that this review is serious and I genuinely enjoyed this short film. I do not want my first review to be taken down just because I gave a rating and wrote a review that contrasts with others’ opinions. I also thought that it would be good to have something posted that's not as repetitive as “wtf” and “This is three minutes of your life you will never have back.”

What could go wrong? It's a three minute long short. It has a funny looking kind of CGI style. It looks whacky and funny. It's not.
This is the only anime production I have ever given a 1 out of 10. This is for good reason. As you may or may not know, the 1 rating stands for 'appalling'. This would mean that giving something a 1 out of 10 would imply that it offended me on a base level. That it made the very 'artistic' ground it waddled upon like a penguin with one eye and one leg shake and feel like it would never be as solid as it was again. This is for good reason.
Utsu Musume Sayuri is trash. It is garbage. I would reverse time a month or however long ago it was when I forced my eyes to take in the sights of this whole short like it was the goddamn Ludovico Technique but it was just…

It is certainly an art to create something as "bizarre" as Utsu Musume Sayuri; and when I say bizarre, it isn't in the good way. Did you think Mars of Destruction was bad? Now, this is certainly worse. I am open for artistic innovation, yet this piece falls nothing short of being a disgrace to the artistic world. In my eyes that is, because this was quite the watch.
Regarding the story - well, there is actually none, besides some sexual references, which seem to match with the animation it is trying to portray. Speaking of which, it is quite alluring at first, until viewers realize what it is actually getting at. Character design's are creepy: if you thought Picasso had some strange paintings, be prepared for even stranger ones. From here on it just gets more twisted and bizarre than it a…

Thoroughly awful Japanese surrealism. This is seriously one of the dumbest short films I've ever seen. It looks awful (the mass of morphed bodies is only disturbing for the first, like, two seconds, then it just becomes stupid), the voice acting is awful and shockingly amateur, and I'm pretty sure that literally everything was done by ONE guy, and this guy sucks. Its story is some weird fetishistic pseudo-incestual...thing...it doesn't make any sense, and I really don't care to try and analyze it, because frankly I don't think there's anything to really analyze here. But yeah, it sucks. I love surrealism, but not like this.

This is the weirdest and creepiest "Anime" short I've ever seen. I don't know if this can even be considered an "Anime". If you are looking for the worst things ever made in Japan, welcome to the bottom of the bottom of the barrel.
Story: 1
Don't expect anything from it, the story it's just about the daughter of a good family celebrating her strike and... that's all, nothing more. According to the genres tags, they say this thing is comedy, but I couldn't find anything about "comedy" or "funny" during the 3 minutes I watched this thing.
Art and Animation: 1
The characters are extremely weird, deformed and indescribables. I couldn't find a definite form in their designs: Sayuri it's a strawberry-like thing with a big and a small eye, Mama and Papa are sausages-like things with many arms (…

Utsu Musume Sayuri could be said to be an epitome of a man's weird imagination.
Story: 1
There's little to no story. It's unorthodox and claims absolutely no sense. The audacity to even introduce the characters blew me away.
Characters, art and animation: 1
Now, this is the worst of all. "Grotesque" manages to describe them quite well. The characters' design, along with the art and its colour direction, leave you with feeling of nausea and headache. The unsettling animation of Papa, who has some sort of a centipede body, is outright ridiculous and outrageous.
Enjoyment: 1
Though I admit I laughed at the strike because it didn't make much sense.
Overall: 1
If you're looking for something that's unorthodox and off the lines, well... This will definitely satisfy your needs and make sure…

Utsu Musume Sayuri is less of an anime and more like a Youtube Poop. It is strange, surreal, and unnerving to watch.
The story is... borderline nonexistent. Sayuri is a girl with a family which consist of her Papa and her Mama and a man name, I dunno, Hiroshi? Whatever. He didn't has any role to begin with. One day, they wanted her to strike. Nobody knows why. They just asked her to strike. She finally strike a...creature on the butt, and that's it. That's the entire plot of this abomination.
I kinda like the art. it reminds me to a witch labyrinth in Madoka Magica. The art is surreal and dreamlike, at best. At worst, it is creepy and disturbing. Sayuri herself looks like an ugly caricature of a girl with a tentacle stuck on her head. It is really strange to look at.
The sound only add…

There's weird and then there's Japan weird.
This is fucking disturbing and extremely uncomfortable to watch.
Computer-rendered imagery composed of distorted faces, confusing scenes of human depravity, incestuous body horror, and a sense of gradual deprivation with no true intention spotted. An ugly fever dream. The entropy of a disturbed mind melting into itself.
Something is just... off. An unnerving feeling of peering in on an immoral act meant for private eyes only. The weird fetish of a troubled person accidentally made public.
That's it, no need to add extra padding to this review. No need to explain any further. If you watch this three minutes of a "WTF" moment, that's three minutes you can never unsee. You've been warned.

Utsu Musume Sayuri is a 1 episode "show" that is 3 minutes long. It is like a Terry Gilliam short cartoon from Monty Python's Flying Circus...except stupider...and less funny.
This short sketch is about a horribly deformed blob that is supposedly a little girl. She engages in a poorly animated and trippy S&M session with other poorly animated blobs that are supposed to be her parents. That's it. That is all that happens in this 3 minutes of time that you will immediately wish you had spent doing something else.
I know what you are saying. It is only 3 minutes, how much can you suffer in 3 minutes? Try rubbing ghost pepper hot sauce all over your balls and THEN tell me that 3 minutes isn't a big deal. Oh well...it could be worse. In the 1970s the Americans made "Down and Dirty Duck" which…

I'm not going to lie to you in this.
If I could unwatch that and get my 3 minutes back, I would.
I'm into literature and movies and finding symbolism in everything, but this was ridiculous. I honestly felt sick to my stomach after watching it and maybe that was the point, but I will never know.
It was grossly sexualized, which again may have been one of the points. There was really no upstanding plot. It was just a weirdly gross family and a lot of "striking". I don't want to spoil it, but I doubt you'd understand it even after watching it. I feel as if this will haunt my mind for the rest of my day.
I advise against it, however if you're like me and tend to go towards what people advise against, you'll watch it. And you'll probably regret it. And you'll think about how I warned you.…

I don't even know what I just watched. I am not even sure I should be criticizing this "Anime" because I am not even sure it is. It is a three minute short and for all I know it could have been directed by some kid in his bedroom. If you feel up to the challenge watch it on Youtube.
Story 1: I don't even know what it is about. It says in the description it is about some girl celebrating her strike but it has nothing to do with it. Also it says below that the genre is comedy. It is far from a comedy from what I can tell. I might have a bad sense of humor because I didn't find one thing interesting.
Art 6: Let me explain as terrible as everything is the art has some good factors about it. You aren't going to see any moe or normal style animation. It is more along of the lines of they built…
