I've been watching and waiting for Cencoroll ever since viewing the trailer. Today I saw it. I liked it, and would like to see the style explored more.

Cencoroll's story is very simple and underdeveloped, and most of the details you're supposed to extrapolate for yourself. The story isn't a very noteworthy part of the film. What I mostly enjoyed might be called the visual style, but more broadly a conceptual style. It's originality that is shaped to look like familiar genres and art, but isn't. It's something a little new and with subtlety. IT's the kind of cohesive vision that is made possible by lone wolf projects.

It looked pretty meh to me, personally. I always watch anime for the story, and if as you say, "The story isn't a very noteworthy part of the film," I don't think I would enjoy it.

The animation style reminds me a bit of FLCL and Serial Experiments: Lain.

Unfortunately, I feel I might not be appreciative enough of styles of animation to really "get" the series. It's too bad the story isn't that good; the trailer had me extremely curious as to what it is all about.

Animation kind of reminded me of Shaft at first but Aniplex makes sense, guess I have to tack a new OVA onto the ever growing "To Watch" list.

Sometimes it's nice to know whose *** is being violated by the tentacles, and why.

I actually tend to dislike hentai. Things can go very ecchi before it gets bad, but full on hentai usually lacks enough of a story to keep my attention.

I'm just saying you could give me the occasional anime version of XKCD's "River Tam BEATS UP EVERYBODY", and I'd be okay. And if a show has a constant stream of hilarity, it doesn't really matter if it has a story.

Looks quite interesting and visualy pleasing as hell.

I was starting to get worried that styles were going to get worse and worse until characters would be rendered as 6'7" 45lbs walking eyes and hair with spina bifida.

I think he was referring to the Salarians
They look fairly similar
