'Yasuo Otsuka's joy in motion' ~ drawing well and understanding are connected. are understanding makes one feel good

this is going to be a collection of ideas I liked greatly while watching the film. some may look pretty simple and Captain Obvious, but I was moved by them so much

about creating anime:
  • The more serious you play it, the funnier it gets.
  • Genuine realism doesn't suit animation. Ultimately, animation is about convincing the audience. Realism doesn't have to be real. What you want is constructed realism.
  • Don't we need a social message in this?
about artists:
  • They observe everything, even when they're not working.
about drawing:
  • He drew what he felt.
  • Crude but lively is better than polished and static.
about computers:
  • Your uniqueness will come through no matter what tool you use.
about final products:
  • Today there are lots of skilled artists. But animation with warmth and impact is hard to find.
  • We Japanese hurry to get things finished. Japanese animation is mass production now. If you use pans and tricks, characters don't need to move. Films are developed from comics. If the comic is popular, audiences will see the film. People will come for the voices and the story. I always believed they came for the quality of the animation. 
  • It's the age of mass-produced entertainment. Some entertainment is very slick, but it's empty. Some of it was made without any attention to detail. But I hope you'll be discriminating consumer. I hope you'll choose entertainment that has wisdom and passion.

I hope, what this wise experienced man said will help someone who is in the process of 'Odyssey of self-discovery'

    1. Hi! I think you can find it on torrent sites like bakabt, tokyotosho, nyaa, kickass, bitsnoop etc. I'm not sure where I saw it myself but it must be on at least one of those

    1. I think they might have it on sites specialising on Ghibli movies. Also, sites that require registration like bakabt usually have more seeds than free ones. I could recommend you a Russian site where there're always at least a couple of seeders, if you manage to register there and download it yourself.

    3. Just like I mentioned in the previous comments, it must be available somewhere on torrent aggregators.

    1. Well you see, I watched it and wrote this post more than 4 years ago, deleted the file, and I'm not keeping an eye on its availability. I have already said that I named all sources I could think of. Sources I cannot think of can be found with the help of Google.

    2. Hey, thanks for the quick response. Well, I have actually googled it and had no luck at all. Like you said, it has been 4 years. Sadly, bakabt's no longer available. It was a great site.

    3. Sorry if my previous comment sounded harsh. Unfortunately I don't know other sites. Maybe sometime it will be seeded by someone on Nyaa. And as far as I can see it's still available on rutracker.

    4. It's alright. I know sometimes people keep asking similar questions without checking previous comments and it's kind of a bother to keep repeating same answers. Sorry about that. I just thought someone might have found it somewhere, hence gave it a shot. And yeah, I've tried rutracker but it seems like there isn't any seeder left. Guess it may take quite some time though. It's ok. Thanks anyway.

    5. I think rutracker usually has some seeders for all torrents. Try to leave it 'on' for a couple of days. The download may not start at once but later.

    6. Alright, thank you very much.
