For the most part, it's a worthy follow-up to Vol 1. There are less shorts, but they're for the most part longer (if I'm not wrong, there's only one under he 10-minute time frame) and there aren't that many exposition dumps-happy shorts anymore; however, I don't think any of the 8 shorts is as big of a banger as Sucker of Souls or Fish Night. They're solid nonetheless. Anyway:
Automated Customer Service: Similar in tone to the goofier entries of Vol 1 such as the yogurt one, it's a bit silly and kinda feels like something you'd see in a Tom and Jerry short. Don't know why, but the elderly folks there reminded me of something out of Salad Fingers. It was okay.
Ice: Loved the GN-ish designs, which kinda reminded me of Tartakovsky's Primal. The story is kinda eh.
Pop Squad: Probably my favorite of the bunch. Very Blade Runner-esque and kinda sad at the end.
Snow in the Desert: The other standout. Loved the animation and it has some badass fight scenes.
The Tall Grass: Part Victorian-era England story, part modern monster horror. Very to the point and with fantastic animation.
All Through the House: The shortest of the bunch, it's a predictable, but amusing subversion of the Santa mythos. Nice stop-motion animation.
Life Hutch: A big ass homage to Alien, but with robots. Michael B. Jordan!
The Drowned Giant: The more exposition heavy of the bunch. Not much of a story here. I think it would've been better in the middle than as the closing segment.
