It's so nice to just hear your interviewees talking by themselves, it feels like a stream of consciousness, uninterrupted by interviewers trying to get their own points or views across.
🙏
my thoughts exactly. it feels more real and intimate
@@ArchipelDocumentaries the best chanel on youtube plase i ned arabic sub in previous videos 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@Immanuel Ntim-Addae good luck, sincerely :)
I think one of the best things he said was that he doesn't make animation to be efficient. Today's animation industry as a whole often sacrifices the love for the craft itself in exchange for efficiency.
Exactly, hoping his message will resonate across the industry.
To be fair, they also need money to run their businesses and keep up to their competitors. I think the whole consumership as whole has changed too over the years which could be another factor. I agree that this work has a lot more value to it, but it might not necessarily be what works to make a business run.
Please correct me otherwise!
@@rubydeep1191 well you are right, money is important, but i thing the issue is inspiration and love in things you are making. I used ti love Disney a lot, because their cartoons is awesome, but now it's horrible. The only thing they are thinking about is money, and in a not helthy way to reward people for wonderful work. I always thinking about Studio Ghibli. Miyazaki did not want to transform his studio into income machine. Maybe i'm wrong, but that's my thoughts.
Efficiency is important, of course, but efficiency will always be found again when you diverge from it for long enough. A simple concept in economics applied to a lesson for a much needed area of thought. Tamagawa, proven from multiples examples in this video, is quite an intelligent man.
@@rubydeep1191 Creativity is destroyed in our current econmic system Capitalism where each business aims to increase its profit margins so even if love or creativity is gone as long as they find a n efficient way to meet that demand with that supply in order to make the most amount of money possible and because of the high demand for anime, companies and corporations see it better to find the fastest shortcuts possible to make an animation with creativity being out of the equation.
PUPARIA is honestly one of the best things I’ve seen in recent years, everything about it is so refreshing. Animation studios have been putting out things in recent years that look and feel so cheap and to see a piece of art that a man made all by himself just stands to show what different point of view and young talent can do. I truly hope he becomes more and more successful so a new era of animation can start.
I wish we lived in a different world, that values beautiful unique creations like this more than another boring isekai with no plot. I would like to see crazy dedicated artists, outliers with vision. I want to experience something different, new worlds and unnamed feelings.
@@spacenomad4477 then make them yourself. Most people are underpaid and don’t have the means to create unique work like this
@@spacenomad4477 there's a lot of that out there. It's just not that easy to find
yes! most new shows i’ve watched have such similar animation and character design, it just seems super rushed and low effort :( i love this old-feeling creative art style
@@spacenomad4477 You want to be isekaied in that world then??
I was so curious to see the process behind the creation of this masterpiece.
Shingo is so kind he privately wrote me after I had posted some fanart of his work on Instagram that he seemed to have liked.
I feel like this documentary really accomplished in showing the kind of sensible and creative person he is.
Bravo to everyone involved in making this, and to Shingo as well for this achievement!
Thanks for the kind word!
What's your instagram? I would love to see this post.

such a great animation, it's has a smooth fluidity and gorgeous art style.
Let's not forget about symbolism, can't really find much of that in today's anime industry.
It took 2 years to make that 3-minute video? Damn.
And the colors! I really appreciate how he colored the scenes because I have a lot of problems to find the right palette that helps the viewer to immerse in the world I'm trying to show.
@@dr.franxx6192 you can find symbolism anywhere if you try hard enough.
He really lacked a good screenwriter there. Cuz PUPARIA is great animation, smooth fluidity, gorgeous artstyle.. and nothing more.
These are more than just documentaries, I can't draw for shit but after hearing this man talk I want to draw anything even if it's just a small flower 💖
Go ahead everyone starts out somewhere including him and including you
If it can reassure you we're the worst at drawing as well :)
Just do it.
its been 3 days i hope you're still working on that flower or moved on to drawing a garden
Don't let something as trivial as incompetent draughtmanship stop you.
I mean. One of One Punch Man fame is very much the posterchild of "I can't draw nice, but I do it anyway".
Also... one should not overlook the fact that drawing animation is a great way to learn to draw. It literally is just drawing the same picture over and over with only the transformations separating the frames. Forcing you to think threedimensionally as movements are set down on 2D paper.
That white haired being has got to be the most beautiful creation ever. There something eerie about it. Like if it what was infinite, god like. I love it.
Indeed, we see a lot of fan art of the character online as well so it must be inspiring many for many :)
@@ArchipelDocumentaries yea man the way he animated the eyes in the short was awesome. I hope to see more his art.
It is God like. It's samael
"Generate new emotions I hadn't felt before." That's what it's all about man. That line brought me to tears because so many people don't value art for what it could be. They call it pretentious or useless or this or that. In reality, art is all we have to fortify us against the utter brutality this world bombards us with in every moment. Every instance of our existence is characterized by pain and suffering and ambivalence and sometimes even hatred - but...art as something that exists for the sake of existing is what lifts us out of that. It helps us to recognize the fact that there can be things that don't need a pragmatic justification. There can be windows into the transcendent. God needs no justification, after all. We live for others, or money, or fame, or recognition, but art just says "Here I am. You can ignore me, you can be lost in me, or you can peruse me. I do not have a tether to your gods of oil and grease and brushed steel. I fly free." It tells us that perhaps, one day, we can also exist merely for the sake of existing, and stop searching for a reason.
I also cried at that exact moment in the documentary and now your words move me to tears. Thank you, I’ve felt so lost and angry for a while now as an artist, I’m traditionally trained but do graphic design because it pays the bills for me right now but honestly watching this documentary and reading your words has moved a part of me that I had almost given up on. I’ll always have to make sure that my bills are paid but solely focusing on that has been so exhausting. I have to make time to go back to the version of me that drew “just because” ! I was so happy because that was more than reason enough for me. Thank you again for your words, they really struck a chord with me 🙏🏾
You should be a poet
Beautifully articulated, thank you for sharing this with the world!
Amen
this is a beautiful response i wish other people would see art as something better than a money making machine or a useless talent in the grand scheme of things
言葉が誠実すぎて泣きそう。
自主制作以外じゃほとんど不可能っていうのが現状だよね。長い目で見て需要がある物の強さって、AKIRAや今敏作品の現代社会における影響力を見ると凄くよく分かるのに、経済面においても、社会面においても、そういうものを作り上げる体力がもう日本にはほとんどないし、なんなら受け取る側もそういう体力に欠けてきているように思える。
素晴らしい作品は毎日生まれているけど、アイコニックなものは中々狙って生まれない。
人生に大きな影響を与えるほどのアニメって、まさに玉川さんが仰るような『絵として美しい っていうことの喜び』が必ず最初にあったと思うし、『最近のセルアニメーションのデジタルの塗り(ノリ？売り？)が 絵として弱いとどうしても感じる』これも凄くよく分かる…言葉の落とし所が天才だと思った…アニメの需要があまりにも大きくなりすぎて、それに追いつけていない感じがする。
さらに最近でいえば中国のアニメ作品の進出や、韓国原作のアニメが日本で作られていたり…少し前では中々あり得なかったようなことが凄いスピードでどんどん前に進んで行っていて、本当に仰る通り時代が大きく変わり始めてるのが良く分かる。
生き残っていくためにも色々な形態をとったり、多様な在り方を見つけなきゃいけないのは、生存本能としても一番正しいように思えた。要するに、作り手だけでなく、受け取る側である私達もたくさん投資したり、意識改革していかないといけないんだよね…。
そして何が凄いって、玉川さんがこのインタビューで言語化した思いは、作品を通して必ず人に伝播していたと思えること。間違いなく。だってPUPARIAはあれだけツイッターでバズって、CZcamsでもたくさん視聴され、それがまさに答えだと思った。
素敵なコメントと分析ありがとうございます。
アニメーション業界については私どもも視聴者の視点から思うことが多く、今回最前線に立っている玉川さんの貴重な意見をお伺いするのは実に嬉しかったです。アニメーション業界には課題が多く、クリエイティブがいずれか勝つとは本当に思いたいのですが、そのために玉川さんのメッセージを少しでも拡散できたらいいなーと思っています。
とても素敵で秀逸なコメントで簡潔にまとまっていて、
言語化するのが上手すぎてお陰様で色々自分の中で腑に落ちました！！！(T . T)
作り手としての世界も受け取り手としての世界も双方が変わりつつある今だから、何も考える事なくただ享受しているだけじゃ廃れていってしまう
私たちもどう生きてどう世界と関わるか、それぞれがそれぞれの立場で
自分と向きあい、生きる喜びから逃げない。これが羽化なのかもしれないなと、
エンタメや芸術が飽和状態でありこれを自分が無いまま享受し続ける側でいると、作品が生まれたその世界を考えることから逃げたり、自分の意見を持つために頭を悩ませる事をやめたりと、
楽な方に行ってしまうのかもしれない。
いま一度、所謂消費者としての立場を改めて反省したいと思いました
Somebody translate this 🌝
I love how he studies and experiments a lot for each scene. He doesn't give up until each frame looks the way he wanted it to be.
i loved that he mentioned Spider-Verse, i think that movie truly made history when it comes to animation, but more importantly, i believe the general audience can tell that the creators had a lot of fun making the movie, just like with Laika films, that tend to requiere a lot of work and dedication from it's creators, seeing the animators passion and love to the craft through these films feels more meaningful than just watching an entretaining movie with quality animation y'know? can't want to see what else Shingo Tamagawa works on
Animation - from cg to 2d to stop-motion - is truly a labor of love. none of us are in it for the money (if you read up on wages paid to the people who make the content you cherish, you would weep). we really LOVE animation, and we're most happy when you the audience can feel our love.
''history'' in the west.... its nothing new to anime/japan/east
@@AngelicaAgelviz nah am in it for both
@@Userdoesnotexit What are you talking about? Shingo himself literally says that it was so new that he felt defeated.
Yeah dude the film which is basically just racial propaganda made by a huge corporation with endless amounts of money will make history. Sure.
I remember seeing this short film. I would have expected it to have taken maybe a year to make, but three years? That's some serious dedication. Incredible work from him and from Archipel. Thanks for giving a glimpse into the process.
Thank you! (By the way, technically the pure production process lasted two years, with an additional year for preparation.)
I'm really grateful that he showed us his planning sketches. I feel like a lot of artists hide their messier compositional sketches and only show the clean finished stuff, but I love seeing the thought process behind someone's work.
There's only one word to define what I feel for Shingo Tamagawa and his work: *RESPECT*
I really wish Sunrise studio would give him the chance to run an OVA of 6 episodes so Tamagawa could explode his creative work and mind. On the long run it would even be more profitable than making another "mass produced anime" with no depth whatsoever.
I hope to see more of Tamagawa's work.
He has potential to become the next Satoshi Kon.
@@aus-li more like he has the potential to further explore what it means to be Shingo Tamagawa and share that with the world. I hope the animation industry provides that opportunity.
@@aus-li He really does have the vision and the creativity to achieve a mystical, ethereal, and seemingly unattainable status like that of Satoshi Kon. Both are their own people, but it feels as if there is a shared essence between the two.
@@aus-li that's what I also think.. hoping he is the one can continue Kon's work(I hope) in Dreaming Machine
This most likely wouldn’t be profitable. I don’t know why you think it would be. Most anime like these don’t make alot of money
In 3 minutes, Puparia inspired people for the rest of their lives. Including me.
Thanks Shingo.
Greetings from Santiago, Chile.
I was worried for such a long time, that I was a little too old to begin drawing.
but after this.
seeing such a great and amazing work of art, created by someone who had started much later than me. I've been made aware of how great I could be if I started now.
today, I will start. I sincerely thank you for showing me this.
Listen Ai art will never approach this level of creativity drive and atmosphere. This short animation leaves so many more questions than answers but is so visually stunning you can’t look away.
Ai will and will be better than humans at being human
No one thing calms me so much as puparia. That’s really anxiously to live these days and I needed to this smile of Future.
"Generate new emotions i not fel before". This is one of the strongest images about what Tamagawa said.
He says that this short sought to capture his mentality and emotions during the time it was vacant.
"Allow your emotions, freedom and beauty". For me these are the themes of this animation. If he intended to do what he wanted and seek that joy that all people feel, I believe he got. All of this was stayed palpable.
I hope this experience has made you feel better, because much of the oppression and sense of loss that you felt
before doing this job is probably due to the animation industry and about people not allow the flow of their wants and feelings.
Throughout the video he spoke using only what he felt to create everything. And I respect that purity a lot, because it makes the art biggest. A genuine artist.
Yeh
"
Simply put,
I had a strong feeling that the values shaping our world
were gradually fading away

I believe many people had that feeling worldwide,
even before coronavirus hit
The fact that we couldn't be ourselves anymore somehow
At the same time,
we couldn't see what the future was holding for us..
I really had that feeling these past years.

This is so reassuring to hear and see. I've always adored Japanese animation, particularly the likes of Lain, Angel's Egg, Texhnolyze, the old Ghost in the Shell movies and Satoshi Kon's amazing library of work. It was fine art in the form of animation - fascinating, philosophical, and clearly made for a purpose and personal reason. It inspired me so much I've dedicated my past few years to animation college, drawing, and learning Japanese, so that I can be a part of it when I finish.
However, I've recently noticed that the industry has shifted massively towards being more commercial. It's all about the big franchises, the prettiest drawings, and the simplest most enjoyable stories. It's become a battlefield of creators dying for the attention of the masses. When I see the likes of Ohira, Hashimoto, or these other more expressionistic animators either not getting any work at all or getting their work messed with so much you can't even call an Ohira cut an Ohira cut anymore, I felt so depressed. It felt like we lost a wonderful medium to the people on the top that only care for the money and mass appeal of a 'product'.
So when I see people like Tamagawa think in a similar way, it gives me so much hope that anime may one day come back to its wonderfully philosophical and artistic roots, and 'Puparia' was an enormours motivator for me, to be there, in a studio in Japan, when it happens. His work has reignited the passion within me that I lost from the recent direction anime has gone.
I totally agree with u. The anime industry has always made trashy productions along with the most memorable works we can find in the media. But I have the feeling that lately there aren't many (if any) works that explore the creative minds of directors and animators as it was more usual in the past.
@@dr.franxx6192 I haven't come across any in a long time. Whenever a series shows potential it reverts to "oh look I'm so quirky and weird haha" and not much else. It's such a pity, because there is talent in the industry, tamagawa is proof of that.
The last anime work that felt genuine and real for me was 2019's film "Children of the Sea", a celebration of life so genuine and beautiful its tough to hold back tears at times. And most people haven't even seen it.
Yes they have a depth and inventiveness that make them memorable.
@@MonoMino1197 The story wasn't interesting for me, that's why I didn't watch the movie.
I just saw angels egg is sad how they don't make deep movies like this anymore
"I wanted to take a stand in a way" - that is exactly what I thought of the first time I saw Puparia. I thought, this is such an inspiring piece of art that challenges the current anime industry with its authentic facial expressions, color palette, character/background design thereby showing that the goal of being "efficient" has been indeed rising at the expense of "pursuing something more beautiful". I feel grateful that Puparia came alive and is such a breath of fresh air. I think it is because of such daring, authentic works like Puparia that people can stay inspired to explore new possibilities within the anime/animation realm. Thank you so much for all the hard work!!

Haven't watched the full film yet. But thanks for the work you do. I love your videos so much
Thank you for subtitles !
Thanks you for the video. Could you tell where do you find such unique music? I love music you use in every single video.
would it be possible to have Japanese subtitles as well?
Thank you
No French subtitle now ? Even in Shinji Mikami's documentary. Why ?
One of most mesmerizing animations I saw, captured the feeling of uncertainty and beauty perfectly. I’m glad there’s interview like this with the artist behind this masterpiece. Thank You.
Thanks for watching!
It's truly no lie to say that every single frame of Puparia is it's own artwork, there are no messy in-betweens or digital colouring shortcuts, the dedication that went into every image helps convey a strong and indescribable emotional impact, Tamagawa-san truly made something that inspires and comforts others.
You can tell just how much he respects the medium of animation. He's a real visionary.
PUPARIA 🖌 it's awesome A mysterious atmosphere. It should be made into a feature film, a story about these characters.
he is a genius. thnx for showing his history to the world 🙏🏽
I cried towards the end. He is a true artist. Animation used to have more soul to it. Yes using the computer programs are necessary for longer shows and it helps in movies. But when the artistry is completely cut for efficient means everything starts to look the same. ほんとすごい！きれいいな❤ このことばはきれいいですね
写実的な絵画から記号的な絵を作った漫画の文脈を逆行するようでいて、記号的表現への遥かなリスペクトを感じる。最近のcg塗りでは、セル画が持つ油の乗った重さが足りない。まさにそうだと思います。何が言いたいかというと最高。もっと若かったら全てを捨てて弟子入りさせてもらいたい。
玉川さんの今のアニメや漫画に対する印象や思想に共感をもちました。
作品を意見というところが面白いです。
収入や締切に囚われず自分のやりたいことをやりきろうと思う姿勢が尊敬でしかないです。
この動画は大切にしたいです。
自分の作品や作りたいものに疑問を感じたらこの動画をまた見ようと思います。
コメントありがとうございます。
玉川さんのこの意見を少しでも拡散できますよう貢献できれば嬉しいです。
It's strange how something so surreal could be so relatable. He's communicating emotions that go beyond words.
Shingo sensei is the epitome of "Nothing is impossible." He created everything from scratch all by himself. Mad respect to him, and I'm glad he didn't entirely stopped drawing.
Wtf I just noticed how often I've come back to this. This is the third time this year holy.
Fuck I've come back again
Puparia gave me the impression of showing fragments of a dream. Different moments of one same dream
Speaking on making animation for the sake of finding new emotions, not for the sake of being efficient just opened my eyes.
Beautiful art! I worked on Spider-verse and made all the tool related to generating linework to make it feel more hand drawn (we kicked it up a notch on the next film). I can relate to every word he says about animation and wanting to experiment and break new ground. There is not doubt he accomplished that in his personal project - he should be proud.
If it me who also love drawing, seeing puparia make me believe that the art is just meant to keep it to yourself without anyone deserves to know about it.
好きなものを表現していいんだなって再認識できました。本当にありがとうございます。ありがとうございます。
玉川さんの言葉を借りて、それは確か人間の根本的な喜びだと思います！
I knew Ghibli movies had to be his inspiration, especially the part where the man was in that vibrant room with a mirage of open doors. It reminded me of spirited away a lot. I hope this guy creates more beautiful pieces and lives a fulfilling life.
As a person who loves art, this is so inspiring to watch. I love the way he put so much effort into puparia. One day I'd love to make my own animated short film like him too. Thank you archipel, i really hope this vid was longer because i enjoy this so much. 😊
Thanks for watching and good luck with your project!
His art is drop-dead gorgeous, wow. When I first experienced anime as a kid, watching things such as Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Samurai Champloo, and Paranoia Agent, this was the kind of art I'd imagined for the future. It's nice to see that at least one person has managed to understand something similar and act on it. I hope we can see more animation like this in the future.
ニ年ほど前にこのアニメを偶然見つけて、動きが生き生きしていて、目の動きが美しかったのを覚えています。その後どんなタイトルだったのかを忘れて、「また見たい」と思っていたら、また偶然見つけて本当に感動しました。何度も何度も見ては、美しいなと感じます。本当に素晴らしい作品です。大好きです！
Being a young animator who aspires to grow things out of my own work, I constantly found myself nodding, excitingly gasping and verbally commenting on Shingo's words with absolute agreement. As animators, something many of us aspire to do is spark something emotionally and retrospectively big and fulfilling for not just the world but ourselves. Shingo makes a great point in retrospective fulfillment over corporate appeasement, and how as creatives the drive in our heart should come before what's simply marketable. I couldn't agree more.
I'm 16 years old currently; have been animating since I was 11 and wish to become an executive behind my own animated series and even possibly films here in America. Shingo Tamagawa has gained my respect from the emotional impact of Puparia's art and sentience.
That sounds so cool. Now looking forward to that day in some years time, when I unexpectedly stumble upon that future movie of yours. :) Subbed.
@@steave1425 Just came back to rewatch this video in reference to an inspirational quote for a class assignment and now seeing your comment after so long. I don't know if you're still subbed or not(either one is okay!) but your words struck my heart so much. I apologise heavily for the belated response, but thank you so much! Made me tear up a little :'D
Wish you the best of luck! How is it going?
Puparia was his personal act of rebellion against the industry and his pathway towards falling in love with animation again. He started from the beginning and did what he always wanted to do, express himself through animation. Truly one of the most inspiring stories of our time.
We need to get this man a studio
I feel now, how he felt hating the act of drawing, but it is trying to achieve it.
This almost made me cry in my years of being alive I don't think I've ever been able to express what I want to do despite knowing it and towards the end, he summed up all my hopes and dreams. I make to create things because I want to generate new emotions I haven't felt before.
I just wanted that animators like him get the recognition they deserve to have from their hardwork.
its really interesting to see people like shingo that pursue their personal goals and trying to show the world their ideas, struggling just because they want to express themself. they don't become rich or popular, but i don't think they will ever complain about it. they just speaking with their creations. that is a true passion.
I really hope he publishes a book with all the artwork from the short (and it's available worldwide, hehe)
Finally someone said it.
The world needs more traditional animation.
The world needs more of that forgotten beauty.
Excellent work Archipel. X)
I feel like you took the wrong message, at the end he talks about how impressive it was that Spider verse found a whole new type of CG animation and his love of stop motion works.
Its not about there NEEDING to be more traditional animation, but studios need to be more open to varied styles of animation and audiences need to be more willing to try seeing new or different things.
I too prefer hand drawn styles over tablet drawn ones, but even the tablet drawn ones can be more impressive than most hand drawn if studios experiment more in how they create it. (which is the problem he addresses)
Is about doing animation for the craftsmanship for the love of art, and not for the efficiency of making a commercial product quickly and with ease.
Is about playing with art and making something new, exploring the medium and taking risks.
@@BaneDane_JB
Not just that. It’s about crafting something with passion. It doesn’t matter what medium it is as long as it’s made with passion. Something that’s 3D CG can be as good as a hand drawn 2D as long as it has good art direction.
自分もまた絵の世界に戻ろうと思いました
Honestly, the final product looks and feels like it has 3 years worth of soul put into it. It was so powerfully vibrant in its art style, i've never seen anything like it, a true masterpiece
I love how he expressed how his art started from Miyazaki and Anno’s work and could definitely see how distinctly beautiful he made his own work with Puparia.
Man, I wish he could direct his own anime film, and I believe one day he will.
The white haired character's smile at the end was the perfect touch
I really relate to this man's ambitions and passion for creating animation. It's very inspiring to see that despite how draining and soul crushing the work can be he still held on to his vision. I really wish the animation industry would pay these guys better. They're changing the world by inspiring young artists like me.
This video is amazing. I would love to see a full feature surrealist film by him someday.
Thank you, we're very much looking forward to his next projects as well.
I've been literally waiting for this ever since Archipel tweeted that there will be an interview of Shingo Tamagawa and never been so hype that it's finally released! Making such a huge project all by himself, I felt the passion and dedication to relive the story inside him. I aspire to be an animator, so when I watched PUPARIA, I wanted to learn more about how the creator managed to do it all by himself. I'm glad that I encountered this masterpiece that I'm always reminding myself to keep moving forward. Even pushing myself to draw/study drawing everyday (though it's not always good haha) and train myself seriously on drawing specifically for short/feature film animation. I'm almost a college student but stopped due to finance, even so, I want to focus on daily steps toward this dream. Thank you Archipel for always bringing truly inspirational creators!
I've been doing my own short story comics for a while now. It's actually really overwhelming and hard to do everything yourself. I'm still struggling with anxiety of doing the best that I can, and having more anxiety of producing more stories that are even more unique and creative than the last.
These projects, I feel, take a huge portion of your energy and worth. And often times, it doesn't feel gratifying, at least for me.
Thank you for the kind word, we hope the wait was worth it :)
Are you my twin? I saw the exact same tweet and was waiting for so long and I am not disappointed
@@aus-li I also have been always trying to build a strong story even before I decided to study animation. I was originally trained on editorial writing but then figured that awards I receive from it doesn't reflect what I really want for myself, so I started to study about creative writing, which were all personal and independent work. I will mostly write short stories, poems and memoire. Writing never felt so real to me, you could feel it's real when you started to hate to even start writing. But I will always realize that it is the only thing that keeps me going, so I will always write to create a stronger piece. You need to keep the stories true to your feelings so you wouldn't even have blocks. The difficulties we may feel on the journey is the most important because it will make our destination worth it, as we'll be able to make stronger/better works than before, no matter how far and how long it will take. They even say, when creating, you should love the process more than the result - that way, you could live life as you create another life of you. That's just for me. But I hope I could lift up your spirit to create and not worry too much! Wherever you are in the world, I pray that you'll be stronger than yesterday.
@@nishantbodkhe7443 Definitely worth the wait and glad to have a twin!! 👀
心の中で少しモヤモヤしてた気持ちを代弁してくれたような感覚。言葉に落とし込むことも大切だなと実感しました。
This was very heartfelt and touching. An inspiration to all indie and solo creators.
Seeing Puparia reminded me of the circumstances behind Satoshi Kon's unreleased Dreaming Machine movie.
After Kon's death, Masao Maruyama (Madhouse and MAPPA's founder) was so adamant of finding someone who can match Kon's vision and style among current directors at that time until he completely canned the project in favor of getting a foreign director instead up to the point when he left MAPPA and brought the project with him in Studio M2.
And yet, we have Shingo Tamagawa who just pulled off a Satoshi Kon through his Puparia short, and it's a waste that Maruyama most likely never heard of this guy, let alone saw his short film at all.
If there's something, I hope he gets recognized and have his own directorial debut somewhere (and hopefully be one of Maruyama's choices to finish Kon's film).
Real talk, Sunrise is just sleeping on his potential he's better off working in a creative powerhouse in the likes of MAPPA and Science SARU.
He succeeded in carving that moment through animation. First time I watched Puparia, I was completely immersed.
OK now I'm crying ..
この方のPUPARIAを初めて見たときは衝撃的でした。
今回インタビューを見て、ますます興味を持ちました。
こうしたアニメーターが、商業アニメ制作に捕らわれず（お金の心配をせずに）
自由な発想で、存分に才能を発揮できる場があれば良いのにね。
こちらもその場をどこかで見てみたいです！
Keep rebelling against the commercialization of art and life! We see you!
It’s beautiful to see what a person can create when they control the means of production.
Give this man a studio and a billion yen please. The industry needs to be led by artists with this level of vision and clarity.
In the hopes that this gets heard :)
The creature, the "living work of art" at the end of the video, has the same eyes of Michelangelo's David. Such a great reference
he told that he didn't want to fall in to trap of hating drawing and even the simple act of it, I felt it so much. Im in an aft high school and I would love to take definite break for some time but I just can't bc it is my school
I truly felt that way too. I used to be so much more passionate in doing art and just experimenting and doing anything, even if it was purely for myself. Now I hate doing art and I hate doing it for other’s, I felt all my passion gone like as if it was robbed. Hearing him say that really spoke to my heart and watching his work process and final product was inspiring and beautiful in such a unique way. He’s got my respect
日本にはもう一流のクリエイターを抱えて育てる器量がないと最近感じていました
日本において「娯楽を作っている人は好きでやってる。待遇が悪くても我慢して当然」という感覚が根付いているから
不真面目なひと、楽をしたい人が娯楽を作っているわけではないということを日本人はもっと知るべきだと思う
この絶妙なストレートに断らないユーモアセンスがツボで何回も見てしまう
Puparia is honestly my favourite modern short animated film, it's unique beyond anything I've seen before, and feels so ALIVE
作品の静謐な世界に惹かれる
As an young artist Papuria changed my life, thank you for this behind the scene .
Thanks for watching!
I admire him so much and animation in general. For a fraction of a story they work years. Animation are just like dreams, they let you see something different for once and for a little dream you still sleep over 6 hours.
This is beyond inspiring
🙏
あなたの作品に出会えてよかったです。

Simply put,
I had a strong feeling that the values shaping our world
were gradually fading away
I felt that the things we used to rely on
and relate to were starting to collapse
I believe many people had that feeling worldwide,
even before coronavirus hit
The fact that we couldn't be ourselves anymore somehow
At the same time,
we couldn't see what the future was holding for us..
I really had that feeling these past years.

He just described what some ppl in all over the world feel
i think his insight is something that i honestly feel is very beautiful
The first time I watched Puparia was thanks to youtube recommended. I cried because it was so amazing. Both art and soundtrack
I just wanted PUPARIA for the first time and it was unfathomably beautiful, the subtle facial movements brought so much depth and Humanity to each character. Shingo Tamagawa is such a brilliant artist and it was an absolute honor to witness his craft. Truly awe inspiring work....
That was such a beautiful short. The visual are really out of this world
Was so happy to get an in depth look at this! Please don’t ever stop making these documentaries.
This man has a true artistic soul! He has my respect.
He has indeed.
this interview means so much to me even though i'm not even an artist. its really sad when he said, "I like the symbolism you find in manga. Its symbols are so strong that sometimes manga can be considered to be "cheap". I believe that is because what it expresses is so loud and clear, that sometimes the readers think it's too much and consider it to be cheap." thats probably one of the worst fear which creators have to struggle everyday.
some words to shout as an art enthusiast,
YALL ARTISTS, CREATORS, WRITERS OUT THERE
STAY STRONG. BE BOLD. HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF
I really hope that things like this bring him more recognition, this man needs a bigger audience
It is difficult to find art of this level and quality, I am glad that there are people capable of making it
This is amazing. I’d love to see more of his work
It's amazing how it took 3 years to make these 3 minutes.
It's also amazing that by these 3 minutes alone he has made such a remarkable impact.
I wonder what he could do if he had a whole studio behind him.
For those who want to know, the song in this video is called "Falling Through the Hourglass" by composer Sid Acharya.
I hope to see more animation like this in the future -- and with a full series or movie. Every shot was absolutely beautiful
This is so inspiring,thank you
Love this a lot, it’s so inspiring to see that animation can be this beautiful and expressive. I hope we see more of his work in the future, he has lots of potential!
Love this.
"I make animation to create new things and generate new emotions that I haven't felt before"
- this is the reason I love animated films so much.
This is such a masterpiece! Amazing to see the process behind it!
Incroyable. Moi qui suis de plus en plus en desamour avec l'animation japonaise à cause de son manque de (réelles) propositions ces dernières années, son message est d'une justesse et d'une puissance incroyable. J'en ai eu les larmes aux yeux
D'accord Laurelinne.
Parfaitement
I love the art style and the color choices.
The whole animation is really outstanding.
i can't wait to see more of his work, he's gonna be so big some day, i can feel it
thank you for showing us the process of “PUPARIA”! wishing everyone a happy and productive 2021.
