At the 3rd edition of the Niigata International Animation Film Festival, we spent time with Studio Bones co-founder and iconic Character Designer Toshihiro Kawamoto! He announced he is currently working on the character designs of a yet to be announced series, the first time since Kekkai Sensen!

Two minutes in and it already feels like a treat. It's really a pleasure to hear Kawajiri reflecting on his work after so long away from the forefront of the industry. And I'd love if he'd be allowed to make an original project alongside Koike, for whom he left such sweet words.

Vaya perlitas deja la primera entrevista de Anime Mind Probe. El vídeo está hecho con un gusto exquisito, y el equipo sabe perfectamente qué es lo que les quiere sacar a los entrevistados. Maruyama, encima, da un juego tremendo con ese salero que tiene. Lanzaos si os llama la historia de Madhouse.

Hello everyone! We apologize for the recent lack of content, but we’ve been hard at work on some huge projects over the summer (the only "public one" was Comiket, but there are many others). We can’t wait to share them with you soon! Stay tuned!

This summer, find fullfrontal.moe at Comiket 104 on Sunday! We will be in the East Hall, in the "ヨ" block on the booth 34a! We will be releasing our first ever dôjinshi, an interview and illustration collection to celebrate Space Dandy's 10th anniversary!

欧米のアニメーション映画祭がダメということではないんですよね。欧米のアニメーション映画祭は、海外のアニメーションを紹介すると同時に——あるいはそれ以上に——開催地域のアニメーションのコンテクストを発信することに力を注いでいる。日本のコンテクストは、日本の映画祭こそが発信していくべきであろう。

数土直志さんのインタビュー。ここではロボットアニメが例にあがっているけれども、ようするにジャンルフィクションは欧米のアニメーション映画祭で適切に評価されていないという指摘。これには同意。毎年、短編中心に2000作品以上の新作アニメーション——ヨーロッパやUSはもちろん、アジア、中南米、アフリカなどの作品も含む——をみているわけだけれども、日本のTVシリーズや長編は芸術的にもまったくひけをとらないと心底おもう。そのことを映画祭を通じて発信していくのは、じぶんの使命であろう。ことしの「新千歳」でも準備している。ご期待ください。 fullfrontal.moe/suudo-jp/

上妻さんとは時々お会いする機会があるのでお話はするんだけどやっぱり博学な人なんだと読みながら。 芸術、絵の知識が自分にはあまり無いんで勉強になります。 あと、イッキマンの話がないのは残念w fullfrontal.moe/kozuma-shins...
