Want to waste 1 minute and 28 seconds of your life? Then this is for you Battle of Clay is apparently a homemade video some guy did about some pieces of clay which are then formed into a couple of claymen. We then get to see them rolling around and fighting each other... in stop motion. So this isn't really 2D at all, it's actually live action (if you can count stop motion as "live" that is) There is no semblance of a story whatsoever, they just attack each other with their fists, hammers and a ball of tape. There was also a pig involved somewhere alongthe way.... for god knows what reason As far as audio goes, the creator has uploaded two different versions. The first one is a silent movie. Like literally, there's no audio whatsoever. The second one however does have sound... that is to say it has squeaking sounds, bleeps and other completely random sound effects that barely make any sense at all If this sounds just like what you've always wanted to see then you can find this illustrious masterpiece on the creator's YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_s6bUJsezY (silent version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgQCt4uozxk (squeaky version)

Esta review también está en español. Battle of Clay (BoC) is the first short film made by Nagao Takena, that silly mate that has a wierd affinity with the clay. With a humor similar to that in the Looney Toons, BoC is about a red clayman and a yellow clayman who fight in a cartoonish way. A dog is there, too. The animation is... poor (after all, Takena made this film when he was in high school), the characters are very simple (the red man is plump, the yellow one looks like one of those heads in the Easter Island, and the puppy is... cute n_n), and there'sno sound of any kind. In summary, this short is simple (to not say bad) and low quality. I will recommend it to people who like Takena's style, and want to know how everything began. But, just like with Battle of Clay 2, I also recommend this to those who have a minute and fifty-seven seconds free. I bet most of the people reading this review will go to youtube to see this, just for curiosity. And for the same reason, I recommend the other Takena works. They're longer (up to six minutes), with better quality, and Bloody Date even have a satisfactory story. But wait! Unlike this short, which is rather plain and have an innocuous humor, the rest of his works are famous for their violence... so, if the (clay) gore is not your stuff, stay away. -------- Battle of Clay (BoC) es el primer cortometraje hecho por Nagao Takena, ese individuo que tiene una extraña afinidad con la plastilina. En un estilo de humor similar al de los Looney Toons, BoC es sobre un hombre de plastilina rojo y uno amarillo peleando de forma caricaturesca. La animación es... precaria (después de todo, Takena hizo este film cuando estaba en secundaria!), los personajes muy simples (el hombre rojo es redondito, el amarillo parece una de las cabezas de las Isla de Pascuas, y el perrito es... tierno n_n), y no hay sonido de ningún tipo. En resumen, este corto es simple (por no decir malo) y de baja calidad. Voy a recomendarlo a las personas a las que les gusta el estilo de Takena, solo para que vean como empezó todo. Pero, al igual que con Battle of Clay 2, también recomiendo esto a quienes tengan 1 minuto y 56 segundos de los cuales puedan prescindir. Muy probablemente todas las personas que lean esta review vallan a youtube para ver esto, por simple curiosidad. Y por esa misma curiosidad, recomiendo que vean los otros trabajos de Takena. Son más largos (hasta seis minutos), de mejor calidad, y Bloody Date incluso tiene una historia satisfactoria. Eso sí: a diferencia de este corto, que es más bien simple y presenta un humor bastante inocuo, el resto de sus trabajos son famosos por su violencia... así que si el gore (de plastilina) no les va, manténganse alejados.
