A 20 minutes 100% CG animation presented by "buildup", a company that brought many japanese CG movies such as Godzilla vs Biollante, Stray Dog - Kerberos Panzer Cops, Godzilla vs King Ghidora, Kappa, Gundam Mission To The Rise and D.

The story takes place in the future, the year is 2124. A dangerous container is to be secretly loaded into medical transport ship which goes into the earth orbit because it's forbidden to store dangerous container on earth.

It's so secret that no crew members on the ship were told about the container's contents or any possible hazzards. The truth is, the container carries a dangerous living body in some form like liquid / worm which is capable of reading DNA information of other living beings and then transforms itself as an exact copy. Of course, the original object then will be killed.

The score doesn't do justice for this anime. Considering that it was made in 2002 , the animation is pretty good for a 15 min special.

Story:
It's the 22nd century and our characters are on a space station. The new package that they took in had a modified being which to my amusement is a giant ducking baby face which tries to kill our characters.

Art:
It's CG which is too good for its time. I had some issues with the picture quality but that might just be because of my server.

Others:
Soundtrack is meh at best.nothing much to talk about.
...
Overall:
I pretty much enjoyed it. As I said , the score/ratings doesn't do justice for this anime. Won't recommend it but won't ask to skip it either

Spoiler

This is apart of my watching the lowest rated shows and then recommending them to you no matter how terrible the thing. SO MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD (the film is so short it's practically impossible to not mention *some* form of spoiler)

A.F, now to be honest, this surprised me, it ended up being a fun watch even though it was really stupid.

Story: 5/10, honestly for a 15 minute short film - it ***HAS*** some form of a story. So bravo. Now as for whether said story is good? Eh, not so much. It follows you're very typical horror-sci-fi flick with your typical "alien" (in this case ... experimental lifeform) which attacks the crew and they have to fight/escape it. Now one thing that did make me smile (to be honest I was smiling throughout a lot of this hot garbage, which is impressive) was the fact that the "Captain"? (I assume) did what essentially no horror flick protagonist ***EVER*** does - he pulls out a gun and straight up extinguishes the first alien (who is disguised as a fellow crew member) instantly.

Sound: 4/10, it's not the **WORST** it's just not great either. It's fine for what it is, and considering how bad this "film" is, the sound is actually decent.

Animation: 4/10, okay. Cut the film some slack, it's old and CG animation was not nearly as good as it is today. That said... I can't fully give it a pass here, the animation is utter garbage and honestly looks terrible, the monsters/aliens look hilarious as shit though and for that reason it falls nicely into "so bad it's good".

Overall Enjoyment: Go watch it. It's 15 minutes long, is completely hilarious for what it is, again like most terrible shows it'd probably be better to watch with a friend or someone so you can both laugh your heads off at how crap this is, but yeah, go in without expectations and have a laugh. It's definitely one of the better garbage to consume.

If you've read this far: have a great day :>

If you're the kind of people that dislikes PS1 like CGI, or CGI in general, this definetly won't change your mind.

Story 3/10

The story is pretty much non-existent, apart from this one thing in the ending that can be considered a cheap twist. Most of this 15 minute special is just action, and even that isn't all that entertaining.

Anyway, the setting is this sort of space ship that gets overrun by a virus. That's pretty much all that can be said, since they don't work on anything beyond that.

Art 4/10

It wouldn't be as bad if the poor story was backed with eyecandy, but the CGI is ... pretty poor, everything looks very dated (even for the time it was released) and nothing really stands out. Most backgrounds this grey/darkgreen colour that ends up making it even more unnappealing. I know it's a space ship, it's not supposed to be all colourful, but that doesn't change the fact it's not fun to look at.

Sound 5/10

Not much to say about the sound, okay voice acting, okay sound effects, might be the most "okay" aspect of this special.

Character 2/10

There are only 3 characters, and they are all pretty poorly fleshed out, because, as I said, it's basically 15 minutes of action without any sort of development, not that they'd have much time to do so if they wanted to, but in the end, they're still incredibly bland characters.

Enjoyment 4/10

I guess you could enjoy it if you want a quick watch with some space action/horror with really weird alien design. Other than that, I suggest you watch something else on your plan to watch list.
