Alright, perhaps I just have a messed up sense of humour, but this was comedy gold. Not only does it have a good message (as the title says, NO LITTERING), but the sudden shift in tone and final scene absolutely sent me into a fit of laughter.
As for the animation, I feel like people don’t appreciate just how DIFFICULT it is to get claymation to look right, and this animator did a phenomenal job, especially since I assume this was done on little to no budget as a passion project or school assignment of sorts.
I do have to dock some points due to a lack of complex storyline, but overall, this is still a solid 7.5(rounded to 8)/10 in my book!

From the acclaimed director of Shitcom (the only anime I've given a 1 on MAL as I was actually appalled by it) comes No Littering, a clay-based anime PSA about...not littering.
Nagao Takena chooses to express this message by having a man and his girlfriend sitting on a park bench. Note that the man never blinks while his girlfriend blinks once. I'd want to believe this was some kind of symbolism/foreshadowing, but Takena isn't that clever.
Anyways, the man is throwing unidentified cans on the ground (maybe he's getting wasted to deal with the fact he's in a Nagao Takena anime) when Jason comes out of nowhere and stabs him in the eyes. The man's girlfriend runs away in horror, and Jason picks up the cans. The end.
I gave this a 5 because, unlike Shitcom, I didn't have any feelings of utt…

Not a real fan of clay animation but went with a 7 overall. Mostly on the fact it attempted to drive a good solution to an on going problem.
From the person that brought you Maid of the dead actually did a better job/drove a point in my eyes.
pro and cons
cons
-would be nice to do more than an elementary school title cover but oh well.
- i see a potential i think it was the popular "jason/freddy krueger" copyright issue but i don't know all the facts.
-some dialogue would have helped
-rather than killing with _____(sorry no spoilers) why not kill with a *wink* post(for those who have seen it) to really see the signs.
pros
- i enjoyed that it was not too based on horror.
- i liked the message
p.s. The work as great as it was for some understand it was a vain effort. Ahem.... how to word…

Story - 2
There was no story, it's more about the clay animation.
Art - 9
This was actually very good clay animation.
sound - 8
The sound in the animation was good, edited well, etc.
character - 2 As stated before, this animation was more about the actual animation than characters, story, etc, so don't take the low story or character scores as reason to not watch the video.
Enjoyment - 6
I enjoyed it. It's only a minute long, so watch it.
Overall - 6
Nice little clay animation. The people rating it a 1 need to get the sticks out of their asses and watch the video for what it is. Sure, if you rate it the way you'd rate a real show where they spend 100,000 dollars on an episode this isn't a good anime, but if you just look at it as a short little clay animation, it's a pretty good vide…

This is the second Nagao Takena work I have seen and going into No Littering I was expecting a terrible mess such as his previous work I have seen, Shitcom. However while No littering is by no means a good or even average program, it's definitely a step in the right direction. This ONA is better than Shitcom because it actually tries to convey a theme and had a moment where I was pretty entertained. Art is still pretty hideous, I don't think the claymation is done well at all. The story is bleh, but I would say it's better then Shitcom by a significant margin. The sound was pretty basic and wasn't that great either. The reason why the enjoyment level is that high is that I found how the particular theme was conveyed here was clever and funny. So overall while bad, No Littering is definitel…

Okay, I'll be honest, I only watched this since I saw shitcom first. I expected more shit, but I got something.. educational?
This little "anime", if you can even call it that, has a couple sitting in a park. The guy throws a empty can on the ground, Jason Voorhees comes and kills the guy, the woman runs and then jason starts cleaning up the trash...
GREAT.
Oh and again:
-It's 1 minute long
-It's made of clay
-It has crap music
-It's for free on youtube.

WARNING: Some spoliers ahead
I wanna start off by saying that this "anime" is only 2 mins long, simple and beautiful. Don't get me wrong, beauty in this "anime" is only the fact that Takena did such an amazing work with the clay. He put such an effort to make this short video to leave a strong message.
STORY: 4
Well, this is probably the highest rate I could give to this short "anime", because there are no real plot, but a couple watching a TV and guy with Friday the 13th mask killing a man who was watching the TV. Didn't really get why? I don't want to watch it again, not because it's twisted or bloody, but because I have no intention on watching it again, simply because of stupidity that flows through that video. I literaly feel stupid watching his videos.
ART: 6
Yeah, as I said, T…

After more than four years of nothing... Nagao Takena's back, with a pack of new videos full of gore and clay! From all his new works, I choose to start with this one, for one simple reason: it has a powerful aesop!
No Littering (a name that need no explanations, I think) try to make people aware of the dangers of pollution. We see a young couple, casually littering either because they're ignorant, lazy, or complete asses... and for that, they will pay the price. Not the long term one, that involves the destruction of the environment and the extinction of majestic animals (both vertebrates and invertebrates... yes, I know that usually people think mammals and birds are cutter, but that doesn't mean that animals like snails and crabs aren't in danger!…
