Chikin Papa is a wonderful short of which is filled to the brim with mystery and surealism. It is very hard to fully grasp the content even with such a small time frame. The Location: The short takes a simple approach to its environment being set in what is presumably the elevator of an apartment complex of which our MC resides. We dont see any of the outside world but the small and enclosed space of an elevator helps build quite a unique atmosphere: 220https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/801550072999444519/835584088965382154/nuJG9BL2sT.png 259https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/801550072999444519/835584393259122689/unknown.png Such an ominous location can even be compared to the phenomenon of Liminal Spaces which can often make the viewer feel uneasy and a sense of fear or wonder. For something as short and open ended as Chikin Papa this sort of atmosphere makes a lot of sense and really fuses itself with the environment. With this I can comfortably say the environment is a huge pro and is well done and executed. 10/10 The Characters: The Protaganist: Ill start with the Protaganist a rooster that has no former introduction. He is a man of which is probably the most mysterious element to this entire short being according to the shorts description and suggestive title a father. Although we do not get to see any of his children during this short. Although there is little dialogue we can still have good speculation into the type of person our unnamed protaganist is. With such a small amount of dialogue however we can deduce that our MC is very proud of his species. As quoted: Protaganist: You probably ate garlic chicken yesterday ... You smell like garlic. He is quick to point this out to the woman and doesnt hesitate to point it out implying he is quite strongly emotionally bound to his species and is at least mildly offended to the killing and consumption of his fellow brethren. Personally I came to a liking of this trait as it shows our MC is quite caring for those he is connected to and will not hesitate to speak off the top of his mind. Next well dive into looks being dressed in a bright patriot shirt resembling the United States of Americas flag we can only assume that our Rooster is quite a patriotic fellow and has quite a sense of fashion and pride 220https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/801550072999444519/835589436129148938/unknown.png I found his style to be quite exquisite but not too outlandish as compared to other MCs in other animes where their style can be quite over the top and frankly ridiculous. The Woman I dont have much to say about the woman as she is quite a generic person. However her involvement within this short is nothing short of important She helps bring out our MCs personality characteristics and views. She also seems quite apologetic as she immediately apologises after being consulted about consuming a garlic chicken by our protaganist: Protaganist: You probably ate garlic chicken yesterday ... You smell like garlic. Woman: Im sorry Being so quick to apologise made me feel a little sorry for the woman as she seemed genuinely sorry and apologetic for her actions making her what I think to be quite a likeable character. Overall I would rate the characters a solid 10/10 Last words: In conclusion I must say that for a short runtime of only a minute this story manages to cram so much room for speculation and depth It is quite inspirational and I think that many of you reading should watch it if you havent. And if you have Im sure you can agree with my words
