I'm writing this review to rate each short film separately since it obviously doesn't make sense to give all of them one shared rating. These ratings are based on MAL /10 guidelines (1 being "Appalling" 10 being "Masterpiece" etc) Genius Party - Clearly meant to be an introduction for the longer films in Genius Party, this short of the same name somehow manages to become repetitive in its measly five minutes runtime. There is some pretty good art and animation but overall it never becomes too interesting. It seems like something I won't remember watching in a week. 5/10 Shanghai Dragon - Fun to watch. Great action scenes.Touching story. 8/10

Deathtic 4 - I don't know language they are speaking. 5/10

Doorbell - With something like this everything hinges on how the ending of the film presents itself. It presents itself pretty well. 7/10

Limit Cycle - I really don't understand this one at all. Although to be fair I gave up listening to the voice-over about half way through. There are some nice visuals present but I could never hope to decipher what they mean. 4/10

Happy Machine - Like Shanghai Dragon, this short film is great fun to watch all the way through. Unlike Shanghai Dragon, Happy Machine has much less conventional storytelling and there is no dialogue present. It doesn't really need these things to be enjoyable however and the ending is like a cherry on top. 7/10

Baby Blue - A fantastic roller coaster of a story that manages to stay believable and immersive throughout in spite of the ridiculous events that take place. In the 14 minutes this piece encompasses it managed to make me feel a more varied range of emotions than most full length anime series. 9/10
