「ゲゲ郎．．．」
After Ghost Game ended I've been pretty quiet, and that's because instead of moving on to a different show, I got the opportunity to work on a movie!
Kitarō Tanjō: GeGeGe no Nazo is a prequel of the GeGeGe no Kitarō series that was made to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the author Shigeru Mizuki. It tells the story of Kitarō's fathers (Kitarō being the protagonist of the original work) and how one of them ended up in his current form, a talking anthropomorphic eyeball. It's a story of heartbreak, mystery, friendship and family. Sadly as of right now, the movie is only available for viewing in Japanese theaters but you can watch one of the trailers here (content warning for blood and some gore) that does feature some of the cuts I drew for it. It was a truly incredible and also viciously hard opportunity, but at the end of the day I'm more than grateful to have been allowed to participate. I'm a big fan of the 2018 series and as soon as I saw the announcement for the movie I asked my Production Assistant if it would be possible for me to participate. I even traveled to Japan at the end of November to watch it myself. If you are in Japan, I definitely recommend watching it, and if you've already watched it thank you so much I hope you enjoyed it!
Kitaro Tanjo is out for digital purchase on Japan Amazon Prime Video! As far as I know this is the first chance people outside of Japan can watch the movie, so I'm really excited. I have not been in the best mood lately but sitting down to reflect about this movie, I'm so grateful and happy to have had the opportunity to work on it.
Sadly once again, the movie only exists in japanese and with [CC] in japanese, so even for me it's still impossible to fully appreciate the dialogue and the story, but I hope you enjoy it if you can. And also, thanks to the hard working people over at sakugabooru, my 2 scenes have been archived here and here (Content Warning for blood, a dangling eyeball and people set on fire, it's a horror work after all).
And a final thing, I'm currently working as animator on Wonderful Precure, so you can see the work I did for the first episode here as well. That is all :)
