◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
In today’s episode, one of Japanese animation’s living legends, Manabu Ohashi, will take us to Asagaya visit the Laputa Cinema located in Asagaya, a unique cinema showing old Japanese film where he goes often.
Laputa, with its unique building design and hidden entrance, is a perfect spot to discover traditional Japanese cinema, or just to relax around a cup of coffee.
In the second part of the episode, Manabu Ohashi takes us to the Laputa Art Animation School, where he is lecturing every week. This school offers a unique curriculum, which as opposed to normal animation schools, is not aimed for students pursuing a career in animation but enrolls students who never did any animation work before. These students get the opportunity to liberate their creativity by overseeing a project from scratch throughout the year.
Manabu Ohashi, who worked on iconic projects such as Ashita no Joe 2, Cobra or Robot Carnival, will then introduce his work as an animator in addition to his vision of the work style in Japanese animation.
Lastly, he will introduce " Chibi neko no Tom no daibōken ", an old project directed by Ryōtarō Nakamura, that was brought back to life through crowdfunding.

I immediately thought of this great documentary spotlight episode soon as I heard the news. One of the many legends. So humble and chill. Rest easy, king 🕊

[@nimbus6985]

Feeling inspired after watching this. He seems like such a chilled dude.

[@clarissadorival5728]

Really incredible and very touching, especially for young animators like me

[@Rosalina102798]

This dude's style is absolutely beautiful. It's idyllic at heart.

[@lukecimment-sibscrobe5205]

It's hard to pinpoint the exact reasons why but I find this really inspiring.

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

Tomorrow I'll be visiting this theater in Asagaya! I was inspired by this video to go! Thank you guys!

[@ArchipelDocumentaries]

That's great to hear, hope you enjoyed your visit!

[@jascarpenterkc]

Asagaya was so beautiful and relaxing! It was the perfect trip. I visited the theater, saw a film, and later that night visited the animation school to get some class information. Ōhashi was there working but I was too shy to say hello. Gotta improve my Japanese language skills first. Thanks again!

[@Dbzlatino27]

aaaaaaaa i wanna be an animator, what i would give for be in that school here where live there is no anything of animation in all my country. What respectful man i wish him the best

[@vercreek3903]

There is no need for a school if you wish to become an animator. It's possible to become self-taught, so don't give up!

[@emily4408]

Is there any way to acces the French episodes? I'd love to watch something that's as great as Toco Toco TV and also hone my French skills at the same time.

[@Cortez77fr]

+Milan The French version is on Noco but don'"t know if these are free access or by subscription (I have subscription ^^) But the French version have subtitles too, no dubbing. just try noco.tv/famille/97/nolife/toco-toco

[@louismendes4743]

this guy has rad style

[@mechajay3358]

RIP Ohashi-Sensi

[@shybleuet4824]

Du français ??? C'est le jour le plus surprenant de ma vie

[@bluespaceman7937]

I hope he will rest in peace now.

[@avaranabraham8507]

RIP 🪦 manabu ohashi who died4 years ago

[@UniQueLyEviL]

I love this so much. More and more as I learn more about him as a person. I am so glad he never gave up. He is a testament to hard work and determination to his craft in an industry that is changing so much. I would love to attend the small animation school! People who have never animated before having the opportunity to learn from a veteran in the industry and complete a whole project sounds like an opportunity so few are afforded. Thank you for never giving up Mao!

[@UniQueLyEviL]

May you have the most peaceful rest, MAO, I will never forget you. The world just lost so much magic.... 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
