Scarlet drops a Hamlet retelling into 16th century Denmark and the afterlife at once, and Jack and Rick spend the whole episode arguing about how well it actually pulls that off.
Genres: Fantasy, Action
Studio: Studio Chizu
Source: Original
Jack's Score: 5/10
Rick's Score: 7/10
Verdict: A visually inconsistent but genuinely thought provoking spin on Hamlet, worth a watch if the shifting animation styles don't bother you.
