first of all, i can't believe this short has only been watched by a few despite being really artistic yet give meaning, and underrated Story- 6 the story is like a possibility or like an alternate universe that tells how war starts it doesn't have any characters but instead narrate details of possibly how every war starts it's main message which is like an anti-war campaign is relayed properly Art- 10 it's animation is it's main charm it doesn't use normal anime art even once, it's all abstract representation of the government and economy it is like every 10 seconds the art changes as if it has multiple animators,it's like a collaboration of creativity for the sole purpose it's message
sound- 8
as for the music it just matches the narrator with good piano composition. it's not much but it's not bad in it's own
-no characters
overall- 9
i gave it a 9 not because it's a 9 anime, i evaluated the scores and judged it not as an anime but a short, for a 7 minute anime it's 9, if you enjoy artistic,abstract animation or anti war propaganda i highly recommend sensou no tsukurikata
