This one has a very different feel from Auction Day. The feeling that Auction Day gives me is one of a purely experimental mind. It felt like a bunch of happy accidents that made a very enjoyable experience. Extinction Party feels much more actualized and kind of ruins the feeling that the first animation gives. Its clear that there were specific concepts that were wanted to be used that *feel* weird but are easily understandable. The first person dungeon crawling sequences, the way Ena stands like she (they?) are in a JRPG, there being two characters that both speak another language besides English, how the characters move around unprompted, it all feels like something that a board meeting would come together and decide is "some weird sh*t that don't make sense". It feels less like experimentation and more like putting in things that you already like combined with the expectation that it has to be weird, rather than being a flow of consciousness.
Objectively, there is nothing in this animation to completely rag on. The art is well done, the animation suits the feeling it goes for, the overall production quality is very high. Its clear the people who worked on this are very talented people and deserve whatever praise they are given. My main issue with this is that where there was once an honest feeling with Auction Day, Extinction Party feels more like an attempt to uphold the status quo of this series just being a bunch of weird stuff. Its very deliberately trying to make me think this series is weird, rather than just being itself.
This felt like a dream that went on too long and slowly became a nightmare. Real slow burn. Dig it.
Thank you so much, I feel like that'd a lot of where this came from, glad it worked for you!
The voice acting is pretty good.
you still got it
