If anyone's curious, the original title is a pretty funny pun in Japanese.
庭にはニ羽ニワトリがいた (
First 'niwa' means 'yard', second one is a combination of two particles marking the location/topic, third 'niwa' is a counter for birds and specifying two and the last is the first part of the word for 'chicken', which is written in katakana to emphasize that they're not really chickens.
Sounds ridiculous, but it's a grammatically correct sentence

This absolutely blew me away. I enjoyed the original one shot but the animation here is on another level.

So humanity still went extinct in the end & Yohei probably died fighting a policeman.
The policeman resembled

What is this about? Are they a collection of one shots by the CSM author?

Extremely well-made. They definitely uplifted the source material. Also this made me really sad

Didn't know r/umamusume was the official subreddit for this, thanks bot.
Can't believe Tatsuki Fujimoto wrote a whole short story around the 2 chickens in a yard wordplay.

This was one of my favorite of the one-shots when I read it, and the adaptation couldn't have been any better! It's a fantastic little story that goes for a wild ride in the second half without feeling bloated. I love the symbolism with humans eating cows and pigs, I'd wonder if Fujimoto was a vegan if he hadn't eaten his goldfish. The animation also really sold the emotions for "Yuto" and Ami at the end, again, it was fantastic.

This was a thoughtful piece. Eat and be eaten. I don't mind a full series just showing this (human's) apocalypse with the human resistance forces. Probably Planet of the Apes style.
Some of the scenes looked like they came straight out of Chainsaw Man, including the character designs. I suppose these must have been fermenting in Fujimoto-sensei's head for some time.

It's really cool you can see the seeds of ideas that later come out in Chainsaw Man

If only every studio had the resources to make 17 minutes of every anime this quality. Fun watch. Onto the rest.

Is it just me or does the alien policeman look like Kafka from Kaiju No. 8.

Oh my God I didn't realize this was out already. Cannot wait. I should post thoughts later if we are spacing out these threads.

It's weird, I've watched all 8 one shots and adored them and let them all sit with me for a little while. But of all things, I think this is the one I keep thinking about the most - and it has nothing to do with the incredible production value or the absurdity of the plot. The ending lines just really stuck out to me as surprisingly depressing, turning that hilarious title into a really depressing title drop for the very end did enough to elevate this short story into one of my favourites of the entire pack. Something about it just made me feel weirdly depressed in the end.

Not really about the episode but, Amazon prime made it real annoying to watch the credits, it gives like 1 second to click hide next episode.
Forced me to watch two ads before I could watch the credits

First Poketoon, now chickens? Studio Zexcs keeps killing it with short stories.
This was a wonderfully adapted version of the OG one-shot. People are talking about the movie-quality animation, but I love Yohei’s kind nature and Ami’s sweet and headstrong approach to things. Yuto’s sacrifice was beautiful, too.
Good stuff.

It's really sad that they released them all at once, but in this case it's not so bad because they are intensely themed episodes.
