''I want to be stronger.''
Not really a film, so much as a series of short semi-experimental vignettes—especially the one with the pencils—which are ostensibly set in the Tokyo Gore Police universe, but definitely don't share the same tone as that film.
It's been interesting watching Meatball Machine, Tokyo Gore Police, and their associated short films together, because it's become very apparent that Tokyo Gore Police was originally intended as a Meatball Machine sequel, and that it ballooned out and became its own beast during pre-production/planning. (In much the same way that Meatball Machine feels like it was very much intended as a development on ideas present in Anatomia Extinction, but developed into its own thing... Anatomia Extinction, of course,…
Mostly a compilation of the film with a bunch of random shorts thrown together. If you liked Tokyo Gore Police more than I did you might like this.
Features some amazing and utterly demented designs that easily equal the splatter genius of Tokyo Gore Police, but with its lack of dialogue and plot it often feels like a music video or montage. That impression only increases with the actual music video-ish interludes that reuse footage from the original feature.
Opens with a 5 minute montage of footage from Tokyo Gore Police, then the first story which is okay, but then the second and third stories are almost incomprehensible. Fun effects, of course, but just sorta nonsense.
Like with Shyness Machine Girl, this is just like a silly little bonus feature. The best part was the behind the scenes photos at the end showing some of the neat work done on the feature film.
