Is it just me, or has Animator Expo been on an amazing roll lately? After impressing us with TRIGGER's Gridman anime piece, Graphinica's (YuriKuma Arashi and Rage of Bahamut: Genesis' special effects) ready to take a shot at doing their own short for Studio Khara and Dwango's ongoing project. The end result was a vibrant music video where Koichi Yamadera (Cowboy Bebop's Spike, DBZ: Battle of the Gods' Beerus) sings an upbeat tune to a colorful samurai story. Best of all, the main hero/cool-looking afro samurai robot with shades in the video is none other than Yamadera himself. When I mean that he's the protagonist, I'm talking about his appearance as well (in his human form at least).
Aside from having a spectacular battle between two robot swordsmen, Yamadeloid brings joy to our hearts, as we see farmers, villagers, and masked guys dance to the vibrant feeling of Yamadera's passionate voice. All in all, Takashi Horiuchi (Origin ~Spirits of the Past~'s 3DCI) and Masahiro Emoto (Redline and Lain's Key Animation) did a great job with directing the video.
With 20 shorts left until Animator Expo ends, I think that it's still safe to say that this project'll remain strong throughout the rest of the Winter 2015 Anime Season, and the upcoming Spring 2015 Anime Season. Of course, my desire to see the rest of these productions increases with each passing week.
