At the time of me writing this, the score on this is 5.42 which is rather harsh. In an age when animation wasn't really part of mainstream culture, this short was made to illustrate the problem of war and power, and if you allow yourself some freedom of imagination, you can see that these chickens that produce eggs and profit for their master while receiving nothing in return but what is necessary for them to stay alive are in fact a good proxy for the working class. Ladies and gentleman, this is an early form of activist art, it might be a bit basic inits execution but the idea is spot on. Anime isn't just hyped fight scenes and cute girls.
