AniWorthIndie Anibox: Selma's Protein Coffee
Introduction
The 2008 animated omnibus Indie Anibox: Selma's Protein Coffee consists of three inventive short films from up-and-coming directors. Kim Woon Ki's kooky mystery thriller "Wanted" is set in a peaceful village suddenly disrupted by heavy rainfall and the appearance of a strange old woman named Selma. Yeon Sang Ho's 3-D animation "Love is Protein" is an inventive black comedy about three poor roommates who break their piggy banks to order fried chicken - only to discover their prospective meal is the son of a weeping chicken. Jang Hyung Yoon's surreal "A Coffee Vending Machine and Its Sword" follows a swordsman who reincarnates as a coffee vending machine and falls in love at first sight with the maintenance girl.

Coffee Samurai... where to start?
Story: 7
Coffee Samurai is a 30-minute short with a truly unique idea. A Sengoku-era samurai wishes for an invincible steel body after he falls in battle, and in a bit of a cruel trick, he is reborn as a vending machine. Hemi, a college student, discovers that this vending machine is actually alive, and befriends him in her fascination. This eventually progresses to a bizarre love, and remains that way. The pacing is slow, but the idea is unique, and definitely charming. If you aren't interested in the story, then this anime doesn't have much to off…

Coffee Samurai is a 30 minute short film about a samurai who ends up being re-incarnated as a coffee vending machine. Sounds weird? Well, it is, but that's part of it's charm, and there were some other things I liked about it as well.
The story is fairly decent, despite it's basic structure. Things move at an appropriately slow pace, and it ends up feeling somewhat longer than 30 minutes by the end. The narrative is also presented fairly well, with some nice moments sprinkled throughout. It starts off as just being weird, but quickly changes into a love story, which I thought worked…

This anime is about a samurai, who becomes a coffee machine in his next life, but he still wants to fight, and one day he founds a girl and falls in love with her.
The story is really hard to understand, and it's full of meaningless scenes. For example, a coffe machine shouldn't be flying... I was like 'what the hell?'
The art was okay, but the closer scenes were drawn pretty ugly somewhere. I have to admit, the characters were cute and ingenious.
I think the most horrible thing about this anime was the sound. The way the samurais shouted was truly annoying. The music under the…

Bizzare? Isn't that what you really look for in an anime?
This very short love story includes the few most important aspects of an asian life- the glorious, fearless warriors of the past and the modern technology ( aka the vending machine boyfriend.)
During one minute and forty four seconds, this piece opens up a really sweet love story supported by amazing graphics.
Enjoy! ^^
