Fairly entertaining. If you like big robots shooting things you can get your fix here.
Leave aside that the economics of the situation here make no sense (how do you turn beef into rockets?), this delivers exactly as promised: a simple, rollicking tale of farmers-in-mechs versus space bugs.
The artwork and voices are both exactly on tone, clearly Disney inspired, and missing only a Space Dog to complete the scene. Sadly, the animation itself is a little lacking, being low frame rate, as though they ran out of rendering time or budget and only hit the key-frames and not the tweens.
Still, you'll quickly forget and forgive this as it rips along as a spanking pace. It's cliched and you've seen all the elements before elsewhere, but it's got an enthusiastic and unforced charm to it. Simplicity can be a virtue. Enjoy it for what it is.

A wonderful piece of art this 17 minutes animation is. The characters are drawn so beautifully. The story is quite average but I am so mesmerised by the drawings. Every frame is asking me to make them my wallpaper. Kudos to the artists.
I've decided to review each of the short films that make up this series individually.
"Suits" was probably my favourite of the first for films that make up this series and the one that I could most conceive of becoming a series in its own right.
The Animation style was much more cartoony than a couple of the earlier ones, almost Disney like in style but no less accomplished.
The story revolves around a group of farmers, who defend their land and livestock from an invading insectoid army with the use of large mechwarrior type suits. It felt like the show could be in the "Starship Troopers" universe - maybe as a prequel, detailing human's early interactions with the bugs. It was a relatively straightforward story admittedly, but could easily have been expanded to at least feature length with a little more back story and world building.

Found it quite entertaining, something different that I wouldn't normally watch.
I agree with others that it is a great idea for a game, not a lame tablet game called mech farmer but a full AAA title, then I'd buy the game.
