Sound & Fury

I love the idea of Netflix pouring money into an album and an artist to make an Anime-music-album-movie I really do. I really liked the first 15 minutes, with the samurai character, but dance sequence with all the other 'slaves' pulled me completely out of the story, even more so when it became live action.

It should have been ONE good story, no dialogue but some sound would have brought the whole thing alive.

I gave it a 7 only because I believe that this format could become a good medium that brings back music-videos back to their former glory.

Watch it for the first 15 minutes, then you can go on to something else. But, as entertainment it's very niche.

This anime short truly reminds me of the Cowboy Bebop series/movie. The whole rambling story line and disjointed scenes, along with the soundtrack make for a hell of a ride!

I think it was a smart way to change his sound and deliver some much needed political music. This era doesn't really embrace it. The movie def lead me to listening a SS album. Animation was cool, story was familiar. I was entertained and loved the album

This was great. Excellent neo-steampunk visuals of a dytopian future, remniscent of 1981's Heavy Metal. Mizusaki's anime is awesome as Simpson flexes his musical muscle, in this soon to be cult classic. A well spent 41 minutes.

Don't look for a linear story or homogenous style here; it's more about impressions, themes, and the mesh of atmospheric music with dynamic animation. expect an experience, but don't expect a one-foot-in-front-of-the-other narrative. also, watch through the credits. they're not at the end.
