Sonnie's Edge

Right off the bat, this show feels like it's trying too hard. It has very beautiful animation, but the story is just so damn cliche. Even with their own little spin on the protagonist, the story felt like something I have heard and seen a thousand times already. It feels really forced and edgy which leaves the whole thing feeling too unrealistic, contrasting the lifelike animation. Now, one thing that this show did extremely well is symbolism. There is one scene in particular that was so obvious but still worked very well, and it was even given more meaning later on in the story. The big twist was pretty predictable, like a halfhearted Black Mirror twist. Overall, might watch more for the good animation if I have time, otherwise not going to watch more.

I actually have to give this a 10, as there was no way I could be surprised by something that fits into 17 minutes like I was.

The premise immediately interested me, while the character design positively reminded me of a few games, Borderlands (Sonny) and Dishonored (Dicko)..

The animation quality was quite excellent, with only a few facial expression hick-ups that could've been improved, but that's a major nitpick to be honest. The choreography of the fight was great and more surprising than some big film choreographies. On top of that, I absolutely loved how this absolutely did not shy away from gore and other adult themes and simply did what it wanted to. So refreshing to see in the world of growing censorships, outrages and artists being constantly apologetic to crowds who just want to control others.

All of that combined with a genuinely surprising ending that I don't think I could've guessed and it was a VERY entertaining 17 minute short film.

Like user "nickxnothing" wrote in his review; This would make for a fantastic series of it's own and would definitely watch it.

PLEASE make this into a series. The entire build-up to the fight, the science behind the beast fights, the cool design and look of the beasts themselves, and the whole story. The visual effects, and the sci-fi gore of the fights is incredible. I was deeply disappointed this whole season/series didn't evolve around this one short episode. Can only hope for more in the future.

Please make this episode into a series...awesome! The CGI was great and the story was done well.

Amazing! I absolutely loved it! I Would love to see more :)
