Focus on hot & recent info of Japan animation!

May 01: 10months later, KyoAni incident…

Today is the same day(18th) of Kyoto Animation murder in Jul 18, 2019. In Japan, we have culture of “Tsuki meinichi (Tsuki=month, Meinichi= death anniversary) to think of dead person what the day he/she is passed away. Accurately, we have rules about it but now I’d like to focus on only talking about their excellent work because I hope all “KyoAni” fan remember and keep interest in their work and wait their recover…

This is TV CM of KyoAni in 2012. Even though 30sec film shows their magnetic world, isn’t it? Honestly speaking, I hadn’t known they broadcasted TVCM and this doesn’t have any explanation about their studio only beautiful animation what seems to say “Look it, so understand us clearly!”. Let you know response of Japanese;

“Don’t make a movie by only 30sec!”
“In all modesty, GOD!”
“Picture taste isn’t fit KyoAni, is it? but love it!!”

The title is “Umbrella” and this animation draws old Japanese Umbrella which calls “Bangasa” (=coarse oilpaper umbrella). Bigger than current one and made it by wood and paper of waterproof. How to make it and to use, you can see below article with movie in English!

He is one of only 20 craftsmen in Japan keeping a 329-year-old tradition alive
At 34, Noriaki Tsujino left his sales job to move to Kyoto and craft traditional Japanese umbrellas for Tsujikura, Japan’s oldest wagasa-maker.

Next 18th (Jun 18th), I try to post something related to KyoAni…

May 02: Evangelion relative feels jealousy about Kimetusnoyaiba

Famous songwriter as Ms.Neko Oikawa says her comment “jelousy about title of Kimetsunoyaiba”. All over the world, She was famous of theme song “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” at Evangelion first what song is not too much to say “one of the largest contributor to be popular for Evangelion at the first stage”.

She said “I haen’t read Kimetsunoyaiba comic and even though anime. Recognize the content dimly but strangely become curious…, the reason must be the title of “Kimetsunoyaiba”.What is impact of Japanese font, vibrancy of title sound, so nice. When I saw the title at the first time, “So cool!” I was so jealousy in a spontaneous way.”
