Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

Yes... while Hiro Shitaku is fictional (means, not real...), the remaining goodness in this "edu-mation" (at over seven minutes long) is accurate, and with a bit of comedy, will explore the history and techniques of the Japanese animation industry. I had a lot of fun making it, and I hope everyone enjoy's watching it!

** Disclaimer: to avoid confusion, Hiro was not a real person. However, all of the techniques discussed in this film were instead created by the industry as a whole to deal with their insane production quotas. Learn, laugh, but please don't take this film 100% seriously. Sorry.

Reviews

good try.

a nice try to educate the public, but unfortunatly it is DISGUSTINGLY inacurrate. next time research before you produce.

Quite Educational

That was cool and the information was also good. Keep it up.

Good job

Informitive to say the least. Though I couldn't over look the Voice acting, and I felt the creating a fictional character to represent the "shortcuts" Used in anime could have been done a little better.

Also, I would've have shown the dark side of this story: How these shortcuts were horribly abused in many cases in animes and in nonjapanese cartoons alike.

=^.^=

Awesome animation! I thought the emotions were hilarious. Sad, Happy, Confused, Angry.. the same >.< so true *scowls at japanese friend* XD

Your voice isn't too annoying by the way :P

Oh god......

I think my ears are bleeding...
Excellent animation style, and good information, so well done there, but for the love of Christ, could you use a narrarator without a "faux-gruff" voice next time? I found myself wanting to close the window at several points due to the accent. Other than that, good movie, and you should definately create more.
