Kyousogiga – 01

For this newest version of Kyousogiga – the first having aired last December and the first of five episodes to air this year – we’ll forgo a synopsis, for two reasons. First; was less than ten minutes long. Second; we wouldn’t know where to begin. We’re not that well-versed in Doctor Who lore, we do know that the TARDIS is a vehicle that is small on the outside – a police box – and massively huge on the inside – containing all the amenities a Doctor would need for his travels. This >10min. episode reminded us of the TARDIS: within its tiny dimensions resides an entire universe.

A lot happens in that >10 min. A lot is covered. Could we make any sense of it, beyond the vague notion of a girl growing up strong and striking out in the world in search of her mother? No, but that’s not the point as we see it. The point is to just sit back and enjoy the artistry, the whimsy, the creativity. The point is to experience a lot in a little sliver of time. To see whole worlds and alternate worlds as through a microscope, but only a taste; a small glimpse. For this >10 min. window, we were transported somewhere else: somewhere we hope to learn more of in subsequent episodes.

Rating: 8 (Great)
