In front of a girl with the traditional Japanese hairstyle, a small man on a desk says, “women descended from tobacco.” The girl laughs at him and traps him under a glass. The angry man puffs on a cigarette in a pipe and blows smoke at the girl. The girl takes the cigarette from the man and puts it under her book. When the man threatens her with a gun, the girl throws the cigarette into the yard. The man becomes really angry and tries to shoot her, but the gun does not fire. In the end, the man starts telling her about the beginning of tobacco. According to the 1926 film censor record, the original one reel version had a total length of 174 meters and lasted 6 min. The second half of the film is missing from the existing version. (Letterboxd) Edit Translation

Old anime gem

Very clever little film, with zero plot (plot wasn't much of a thing in 1926) but the animation is remarkably well done. I assume the person giving it a 5 doesn't really know what they were watching, because you'll need some lay insight in film technique and history to understand how making this was an impressive feat. If you're interested in the beginning of anime, it's a delightful watch.

I deduct a point since I rarely score something a full 10, story gets a 5 because it doesn't exist and music gets a 5 because it's silent.
