I imagined life in a near-future city.

【Chatty Fried Chicken Age-ta-kun】 A one-minute anime airing every Monday at 21:54 on Hiroshima Television. An entirely new style of animation that’s impossible to forget after just one viewing and fun for the whole family. The setting is a certain company in Hiroshima. When salaryman Yamada-kun, who has been transferred there, opens the lunchbox he was about to eat during his lunch break, he finds a piece of fried chicken that starts talking to him in the Hiroshima dialect with way too much familiarity... While Yamada-kun handles the jokes as the straight man, all the other side dishes are in on the gag. A series of amusing conversations unfolds, featuring all kinds of commotion on the desk, everyday happenings, and Hiroshima in-jokes that are sure to bring a smile.

“Searching for a place where the soul can rest, looking for the place where one’s own soul can shine” A delicate young man is crushed by the ordinary everyday world. Born as a human being, he finds it painful to exist: a weak, gentle soul that would be blown away if the wind were to blow over it is led by nature and comes to long to dance through the universe. The drawings and animation were created in Photoshop. The compositing was done using After Effects.

Created the opening video for the anime series Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction. By photographing the cityscape that served as the model for the original work from the same angles as in the anime and manga, and compositing the characters into it, the piece is designed to make the world of the manga feel even more immediate. The style was distilled into one that reflects original creator Inio Asano’s approach of drawing from 3DCG models and photographs.
