Omnibus films are hard sells to ticket buyers and critics; the former because they want a full cinematic meal, not a plate of hors d'oeuvres, the latter because they see a package of segments as a sort of horse race — and proclaim disappointment when all the horses/segments don't cross the finish line first.
The producers of "Genius Party" — an omnibus of seven animated shorts — have tried to finesse this problem by making their packaging concept as free as possible. Instead of horses on the same thematic starting line, their seven directors are more like explorers on their own individual journeys, with only the most general instructions from base camp. ("Let the Force be with you.")
Critics will rank the segments anyway, since that's what critics do — but this one is inclined to cut their makers a bit of slack. They may not have all made it to their respective Everest or South Pole, but at least they set out minus the usual supports of manga franchise or genre formula. Their return "party" is a cause for celebration.
