Baan however? It's. Okay. Just okay. Not bad, but I don't feel as if I've gained anything from the experience.
The ups here is definitely the Quality that goes with Baan. I can tell that great care was put into the animation, the designs, the music, the desire to deliver some decency in its presentation for the most part. As an artist myself, I can definitely appreciate the thought and care that went into the design of things as a whole!
However, the "story" is just a tad too disjointed. It connects, but it's weak... likely due to the time constraint of 18 minutes (Though I've seen AMAZING stories told in single anime episodes or less before this). Focusing a little too hard on the cute girly's side and not so much the male protagonist. Things are glossed over, disjointed in continuity, or rather there's little explanation for what few characters appear. There's no emotion to really feel in such a short time span. It needs more to really stand out as something worth recommending.
I will always appreciate this attempt nonetheless. It's every anime lover's dream to see their own ideas or story in an animated form! I believe if Gigguk wants Baan to succeed and not be a one note project, the story needs to be made in written novel or possibly manga form. Because as it stands, I can't fall in love with these characters past a character design point.
