Yuukai Anna is an original short film from Studio Deen. It was released in 2018, so a pretty recent offering from them. Deen is one of those studios that's difficult to predict the quality of, because their output is so varied in terms of quality. So, let's just jump into it.
Story:
We open with a wedding. It's quickly interrupted by a woman crashing in on her motorcycle and taking the groom away. We learn that this is Anna, a woman known for doing kidnappings for people.
First off, why hasn't she been arrested? The authorities know what she looks like. She, apparently, does this all the time. She in no way disguises herself and she's open to the point where she did a television interview.
You might think that egregious lack of logic is the worst part of the film. It's not. Most of…

Independent animator Kaichi Sato & Studio Deen’s CG short film Yuukai Anna will inevitably polarize viewers depending partially on viewers’ familiarity with cinema nostalgia. The movie contains several references to the 1967 classic film The Graduate but moreover is inspired by the French New Wave. The movie seeks to condense and elevate a chic, aloof, existential coolness that directors including Truffaut, Godard, and Chabrol propagated. The entire point of the short film is cinema for the sake of cinema. Shots are deliberately composed with an emphasis on visual appearance and costume design, on color theme, and editing. The narrative is abstract, revolving around the uncertainty of the nature and longevity of love and loneliness. Like the films of the French New Wave, the movie is meant…

It's a rather short yet baffling movie. If you can get past it being CGI (which can make or break it for you, if you can take it it's fine, but it's more than understandable if you find it ugly, I feel the faces make it work for me, more because of taste since they're also not very expressive), it has some nice palettes throughout, with very lush lighting in some segments that is the reason why the CGI field is so promising in the first place, it's a short, a little bit spicy and confusing ride of an unlikely couple. The characters have some potential were they to be explored outside of this movie, but it ends in what's possibly the most what in the goddamn way imaginable. I won't spoil it, but I honestly have no idea what kinda payoff they wanted us to have coming out of it.
I didn't hat…

I wouldn't normally write a review warning others not to watch an anime, but this twenty-six minute "movie" got me so worked up I was yelling at my computer, appalled at the incoherent mess in front of me.
If you can get past the bland, colorless world and poor animation, you will soon find that Yuukai Anna's appearance is far from the worst thing about it.
Our protagonist, Anna, is a notorious kidnapper and the anime opens with her on her motorcycle busting through a stained glass window high above the altar of a packed church as a man and woman are about to seal the deal. This is where the red flags started going up for me as shards of glass are flying everywhere and nobody suffers so much as a scratch. Immediately she's riding out the church front door with the groom's hands bound on…
