Eus's Russian/soviet animation channel is deleted again! Just going to link to his site, I'm sure he'll post about it soon. He has information about all the places he posts videos.

Animation seems like the most depressing creative industry there is. From all the behind the scenes talk I've heard, japanese industry is almost always exploitive or people are working on something they don't care for at all.

Seen Watership Down for the first time in decades and that scene where the rabbits get buried alive is just a tour de force.

Ilka Schonbein the puppeteer. Big thanks to Bendk for showing me this.

I thought he was going to compare it to the lessons at the end of He-Man. I certainly prefer the aesthetics of 80s american/japanese cartoons

I prefer not to have to wear sunglasses when I watch animation too.

Burning Buddha Man and Violence Voyager - The artist/director of these said the tv version of Cat-Eyed Boy and the music video for Denki Groove's Mononoke Dance inspired him to make paper puppet films. I preferred Burning Buddha Man because the ideas seemed wilder and the drawings rendered more beautifully (in a very grotesque way). Violence Voyager is heavily inspired by american films (Westworld and Jurassic Park were mentioned) and it's perhaps that because it seems so much like a children's film that the ruthless violence seems all the more surprising (even after the title prepared me for lots of violence). There's a few short films too. A nice mixture of horror and humor, very much looking forward to more of Ujicha's films or even any visual art he makes. So I guess he's my favorite japanese animator after Keita Kurosaka.

Here's the Denki Groove video

Eureka bluray of Son Of The White Mare coming, very exciting

awesome, a definite buy

It's got a bunch of short films too

whenever they announce something like this, a 2K Blu-ray remastered from a new 4K source, do you feel like waiting for a possible 4K UHD release?

(geez, i need to check my bookmarks more often)

I'm not really invested in 4K but I'd be surprised if it came, though some 4K releases have surprised me.

the thing is in these cases, you know off the bat there is a 4K master sitting on a hard drive somewhere, ready to go, since they used it to make the 2K version. that doesn't mean there will be a physical release, of course, but it usually means it will at least go to cable/streaming at some point in the future

Another trailer for Seed In The Sand. Voice acting by Gitane Demone and Suzy Gardner!

Completely blanking on the name of an animator who did really quiet noir-ish, realistic but vague stories in maybe pastels (lots of vivid red), maybe the 80s and 90s but that's not much help. Hope I find him again because I didn't have the patience for his films when I discovered them, some of them were quite long but never feature length.

isao takahata movies are great and much better than miyazaki ones

there are moments where i too like grilled cheese sandwiches more than i like springtime boat trips
