Ryan Colucci is producing a wonderful new hand-drawn anime film called “Orient City.” You can donate to their cause right here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rcolucci/orient-city-a-hand-drawn-animated-film?ref=nav_search
Not only did we talk about that film but also anime and animation itself with regards to studio pressure about landing big-name voice actors as well as the difficulties in selling the idea of an animated film to major studios without some kind of hook.
I also included the opening sequence to “Orient City” at the beginning of the video.
