Only 5 minutes were needed to tell this masterpiece.
The story simply tells about a forest and it's residents.
At the beginning of the story we meet a bee and a bear. They seem to have a discussion about honey, which leads to a fight. Then the star of the anime, Mr. Ando comes to the rescue. Mr. Ando is clearly the protector of the forest.
He brings peace everywhere with his powerful message: ''STRIKE MR ANDO STRIKE''.
For some reason the animals suspect that Mr. Ando might be a human. Which is impossible, because he is obviously a penguin. (This can be determined by the peng peng sound he makes)
At the climax of the episode a human is trying to ''develop'', and this means destroying the animals home. Humans truly are greedy beings. But no worries Mr. Ando comes to the rescue and save…

You either get it or you don't, and it's quite clear from the score this has received the people reviewing it don't.
Perhaps the subtleties are lost on those with no knowledge of Japanese.
Perhaps people thought this was a true, studio produce animation feature. It's not. It was drawn, animated, and voiced by the same man, Takashi Taniguchi, who animates both as a hobby and professionally. He started his own anime production while still in university because he enjoyed it.
People ranting about the art and animation is equivalent to ranting about the art and animation of the asdf movies, or the lazer collection, or "look at my horse" end of ze world, schfifty five. These works are tongue in cheek, satirical, and self-aware. To put it succinctly, "lighten up."
I've given this 10 across t…

After rating this 5 minute short at a 9 despite the overall score being so much lower, I couldn't help but leave a short review to defend it.
Mr. Ando has been around a long time, I remember watching it 7 or 8 years ago on YouTube as a middle-schooler. I thought it was goofy for sure, but after coming back to it as an adult, I have a newfound appreciation for this spectacular short. I'd forgotten all about Mr. Ando until I saw that its director, Takashi Taniguchi, would be returning with a series of shorts for this Summer 2017 season, titled Piko-tarou no Lullaby Lullaby.
Every character in this sketch is voiced by one gentleman, Takashi himseslf. He writes and animates all of his shorts and brings life to all of his characters himself, making his work incredibly unique to him and him al…

Story
very bland. Guarding land. Character's actions on reasoning is bad. For example one character clearly makes a statement on observation and was very descriptive with what he witnessed. Then comes another visual test and he fails hard. what?
Art
Poorly animated. Color use was fine. Art did not look realistic.
Sound
I am not 100 percent sure but sounded a whole lot like a one man band. where one person is responsible for vocals for all characters. In some cases the vocals were dry due to lack of enthusiasm. As for special effects they went the cheap way. They made or attempted depending on view by animating by mouth.
Character
good definitely use more background on the main character. what made him do this? is he right in the head? is this a dream?
Enjoy…

A 6 minutes One episode anime
Do you like weird? Especially some really Japanese ish? Well here you go, knock yourself out with this one XD
Mori no andou has this same kind of weirdness and somewhat visuals just like the infamous Onara Gorou.
Truth be told I really don´t know what to say besides it is epic in its weirdness XD This is the one you troll your friends with but still having a chance of not loosing your friends compared to other shocker videos.
Well I had a fun time, 6 minutes I will never get back but which was somewhat enjoyable in its weirdness XD
I really need to start to watch normal anime again >.<
