Animal-Motif Team: Membership in the group is denoted by a spider tattoo and they're often called "The Spiders" or the like when referred to.Affectionate Nickname: Shar, Fei, Bono, Uvo, Paku.This can make dealing with them somewhat frustrating for some characters, most notably Gon, who has a very strong hatred for people who have an understanding of morality, comradery and human decency despite seemingly being sociopathic savages, viewing such people as hypocrites. Affably Evil: Many of the members can be genuinely amicable and reasonable if the situation calls for it, despite otherwise being ruthless murderers.On the flipside they're Unperson inhabitants of a city-sized garbage dump, two (and later on, another two) of their members have died, their leader is Brought Down to Normal and they're at the mercy of a boy half some of the members' age. 13 Is Unlucky: To the public, they're so strong that the entire Mafia is powerless against them and they had to call in the strongest characters known to the readers at the time to put them down.If a member dies, they simply get replaced. They have a peculiar organization, being villainous True Companions of Ubermenschen (this doesn't go without the occasional internal frictions, though they have strict rules about settling those), and while they have a leader, the survival of individual members (including the leader) is not a priority the survival of the group as the whole is. Indeed, most of the members seem to be in specifically for the carnage. In fact, as they already steal all the common objects they need on a daily basis, they have very little interest in the luxury items they target, and seem to chose them mostly because they know these items will be heavily guarded. Which is why they get such a reputation: They are less famous for what they steal than for the hundreds of people they kill in the process. Unlike most other thieves, they generally don't rely on subtle strategy or minuted actions perpetually reenacting the Gordian Knot parable, they prefer to resort to brute force. Just say N/A instead of seriously evaluating and scoring these aspects.Įdit: rant removed in short this was intended as a gag comedy but other reviewers decided to overly critique lack of plot/character development in a mere 4 minute slapstick comedy, best just give n/a for those aspects.Introduced as "the most horrible group of criminals in all history", they are a group of 13 thieves who specialize in very difficult targets. A bit jumpy but it does the job.Įnjoyment: 6/10 it was funny what else do you want? What do you really expect in the way of character development in a 4 minute gag not intended for plot?Īrt: What you'd expect from an old 60's animation. Again, it's 60's quality.Ĭharacter: It's just a guy trying to drink a couple drops of water, he shows the range of emotion and personality a gag character in a looney Nothing impressive but not disappointing either. Sound: Just music and sound effects, no dialogue, quirky. What you'd expect from a short animation from the 60's. Story: no plot just slapstick comedy, a guy driven insane trying to drink a couple drops of waterĪrt: Whimsical and retro, nothing to be amazed at. Overall: 6/10 and enjoyable enough to watch after all it's only 4 min long so don't expect a deep story with character development or anything profound But if you're like me and enjoy memorabilia from the 60's and 1950s cartoons this is a great. Don't get me wrong it is pretty fun to watch but if you rather prefer anime with bishies and shojo. But in all fair warning this film is more to be appreciated as history/ an art form rather than just for entertainment sake. So if you'd like to see one of the early forms of what anime originated from I encourage you to watch. Okay so that description alone may seem pretty boring but if you're an art enthusiast you may enjoy seeing a different form of story telling with no dialogue. man will do at any costs for water through slap stick humor mimicking American cartoons style of that time period. Simply meaning it has no dialogue and relys on imagery alone for the plot. The anime's story may seem odd to some but it is in fact an abstract film. Just like comparing early Disney films to current ones. Every form of animation has it's start, so this film is great to learn how vast different current anime is today. Disney had a series of early silent cartoons set to music where mickey mouse was a captain of a steam boat. Early animation in America started with Looney Toons and Disney.
