  Review by noraa ★★★½

  A girls dog dies saving her life, and some scientists take its brain to a planet to create a silicone based clone body for it, but they accidentally turn the whole life of the planet into one singular silicone based life, mentally controlled by the dog?

  the scientist suffers radiation damage and the dog has to graft his head onto some tentacles while he makes clones for him

  the entire planet comes alive and can travel through space on its own

  human art = boring, alien art = pretty sick

  no real english subs, i watched with the auto-translation into English from the auto-generated Russian on youtube (in 1080p though!):

  Review by Styopa ★★★★

  I really love old school animation like this. You don't really see people use paint like this anymore. And I really like the music. I love finding hidden gems like this.

  Review by Jimmy ★★★★½

  Connected to the Vampires/Masters of Geona shorts presumably on the same planet long after the end of Masters. These Gennady Tishchenko films are unreal! Logging both Amba shorts together here. Out there sci-fi dreaming something about giving a dog a super brain? The land won't stop growing warping into something fucked. The auto translate put it as "silicon virus". Lot of morphing animation that I love with purple goo bubbling and forming into figures. And of course old man tentacle as shown on the page here. Beautiful. That hypnotic guitar riff keeps coming back from Vampires through to Amba 2. What a ride in 40 minutes.

  Review by Max Victory ★★½

  If this had ever aired on American television, we'd have a generation of Reddit posters calling it "nightmare fuel" in threads starting with "does anyone else remember" in the title.

  The plot is bananas and ripped right from the golden age of sci-fi: two guys in a spaceship are diverted to perform a rescue on planet "Mira." There a scientist named Dr. Harper was experimenting with "Auto-Morphic Bio-Architecture," an engineered organism that can grow in hostile environments and shape itself into habitable human cities in weeks. And they surgically stuffed a dying dog's brain in there too, why not! Shockingly, dear reader, you will discover that Science Has Gone Wrong: the "city" on Mira is now a wildly mutated horrorshow…

  Review by Cinco ★★★

  Post-soviets were definitely trying anime art-style.
