Kago Shintarou Anime Sakuhin Shuu
駕籠真太郎アニメ作品集In these jokey short films, many of them crudely animated, Kago's sick sense of humor reaches its full heights of absurdity. There's a playful surrealist sensibility to Kago's work, as well as a tendency to revel in the ridiculous, the crude and the disturbing. His work straddles a weird boundary between avant-garde experimentation and low-brow fart jokes—the punchline of one of these films is literally an oozing torrent of shit—although, admittedly, his videos seem to lean a bit more heavily towards the fart jokes than his comics. But hey, who doesn't appreciate a good fart joke once in a while? (Source: Only the Cinema blog)

2008 Barack Obama becomes the first African-American to be elected President of the United States, who would have thought that in the same year a man by the name of Shintaro Kago would create the best animated work to grace the universe. Shintaro Kago is so legendary that you've probably never heard of him, but everyone will know his name in due time.
Story
The Story is pretty much a modern masterpiece that puts all forms of literature new and old too shame, I mean when you are dealing with subjects as statue on statue sex, masturbation with around 20 of your own dicks and a mermaid who's boobs eat fish how could it not be considered a masterpiece.
Animation
The animation is some pretty top notch stuff, it's as if it was made in the distant future when the quality of animation is light years better than today's standards it puts most if not all of today's animation studios too shame which is very impressive for an independent work.
The art style is also very good everything looks extremely detailed especially during the live action segments but don't be fooled that was all actually animated it was just done so well that it's hard to tell with the naked eye.
Sound
The sound department is the only thing that hold this anime back it is only just average, while it is not the greatest soundtrack it is far from the worst that the industry has to offer that honor would go to Steins;Gate
Characters
Go find one of the other two people that have watched this and ask them if they can remember all of them if they say they can't they lying to you and that's pretty rude. I mean the cast is so varied and interesting and they all bring something different to the table.
Enjoyment
Short Animation of Shintaro Kago is easily one of the most enjoyable things life has to offer in fact for some people it may just be the highlight of their lives the thing that they will talk about to relatives on their death bed.
Overall
Why didn't you read all of this I spent like 20 minutes writing this and more importantly why aren't you watching this anime like right now
Recommendations:
Anything made by Yoji Kuri (one of the best directors)
Texhnolyze (because I said so)
The average viewer during and after viewing this anime
Shintaro Kago is a national treasure. Deal with it.
