Thanks for this story! I'm really glad to get in early on this!

They've raised 2K in a day. I'm sure they'll hit 10K by the time the month is over.

BTW...just watched the video and Kimura is gangsta. That outfit is slaying me. All he needs is a baseball cap.

Bloody hell I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of him, he looks like he works for the Yakuza.

I'm happy that there is something that shows the strengths of hand drawn animation, which is the way it should be. Though I am confused what is so challenging about brining this about since it is just him doing what the first stage of animation, which would take what? 1 key animator and maybe 2 in-betweeners and since he is doing that himself the only costs are for audio and video prduction. Also didn't Ping Pong prove that you can do this already?

The only downside is now people have another outlet to moan about the Anime industry through.

I could see him walking with a Tosa Inu in downtown Tokyo. This is a Mastiff-type dog that's the largest Japanese dog breed used for dog fighting and that has been used by the Yakuza.
