(日本語のコメントも下にあります） Hi everyone, I’m Shingo Tamagawa, the director. I hope you enjoyed watching PUPARIA. Thank you so much for all the feedback! I’ve read all of them and seeing how they contain so much passion made me feel really glad to have made this film. I’m now starting on the preparation of my next film, little by little. My method requires a lot of time and effort, so I don’t think I will be able to release it easily. But I’ll definitely release it, and I’m planning to make something better than this film, so I hope you will be patient. And lastly, I hope you will be able to find some relief in this tough situation the world is going through right now, no matter how small it may be. 皆さんはじめまして、作者です。日本語が下になってしまってすみません。あまりにも英語のコメントが多いので・・。 たくさんの感想ありがとうございます。すべて読ませていただいていますし、その熱量のある感想の数々を見て、本当にこの作品を作ってよかったと感じています。 現在私は、少しずつではありますが次の作品の準備をし始めています。 とても時間と手間がかかる作り方のため、なかなか公開できないとは思いますが、必ず発表いたしますし、これよりも良いものを作るつもりでいるので、気長に待っていただけると幸いです。 それでは、大変な世の中ではありますが、皆様に何かすこしでも救いがあることを願っております。 Shingo Tamagawa

i found myself trying to figure out the meaning of this video then i just stopped and thought- it is such a human thing to do to always try to add meaning to things. we go our entire lives searching for meaning… why can’t this video just exist and be appreciated in its beauty without it having some deep, metaphorical meaning. the first thing i noticed about this video is the amazing detail and art. observed for us to see and experience what came from another persons beautiful mind. the fact that i can be here witness something so pure and beautiful is beautiful in itself.

Its like a dream. and sometimes that is good to have an experience of art that is a dream.

[@kmelons]

When I was a kid, I would consistently have dreams that featured otherworldly creatures and sceneries; visuals like this. I’ve never seen anything in real-life illustrate the kinds of things I had in my dreams before. It’s just, words don’t do it justice, you know? Art is the only way to explain certain things. And for me I understood something from this that was so deep and meaningful to me-something I’ve..seen before. It’s hard to explain but the way art can make people feel is beautiful, isn’t it?

After watching the behind-the-scenes video of the animation, I changed my interpretation of the animation! Haha. Tamagawa says that he wanted to express his feelings clearly in the animation, and talks about what specifically, he says that the values ​​of humanity are being lost, and that he wanted to convey a certain comfort to the viewers in the animation, so I started watching Pulparia by different way than before, a representation of an alien invasion as I said in my last comment, in this one, I will comment scene by scene: - The animation really seems to "talk" about the degradation of humanity and a certain fear of the future that awaits us, the first scene seems to be a girl reflecting looking at us humans from the past, and the creature behind her may indicate that it is in the future , in addition to the remains of poles and other things contrasting with the beautiful flower bed, indicate that there may have been some war or conflict. - In the next very enigmatic scene, a man appears who appears to have a bionic eye (another indication that the animation takes place in the future), and is only in his underwear, which may or may not represent the loss of even modesty, showing that in the future that wouldn't even matter, so he looks scared and scared, as if he couldn't avoid what was coming towards him, a bizarre creature, a giant moth that you don't know if it's coming out of the cocoon or with its wings closed, and it comes very quickly, in my view, this moth, which even the name of the animation references (as Tamagawa says that Pulparia is a word similar to the word cazulo in English or the shell of the moth), represents the future and the man who is already in the The future is looking at it with fear because it is desperate when facing its own sad reality, or because it is afraid of what is yet to come, indicating that the future could be even worse than its present (which is our future), which is not It doesn't seem to be good, because the guy walks very sad and apathetic down the corridor in a hunchback posture looking down, the scenery as well as the first girl's clothes could be just another element of contrast between the time of the animation: future, and the past . - Next we see a girl with a red dress that seems to be futuristic, and who doesn't seem at all happy to see us, because her expressions when she seems to look directly at us, viewers, seem at first to hide a grudge, an annoyance, a hurt at the same time. sees us, then she expresses anger, then her look becomes sad, as if she is lamenting something, in fact in my vision, she is looking at us who are in the "past", and for the future which is her present being so bad, she He feels a mix of emotions when he looks at us, as if he were angry with us because we are still in the past and still have a chance to change, and as if he regrets what humanity has become, then points incisively in a direction , it seems like it is showing us the way out, as if saying, get out of my way, or even pointing to a moment even further in the future, that is, the final scene. - The final scene is very beautiful, and curious, not that the others aren't, but this one has a particular beauty. We see a girl who appears to be human, but with gray skin with different patterns in blue and red, big red eyes and white hair (in other words, she is probably an evolved human specimen), facing a horizon as enigmatic as she is, we see an immense empty space, with a colorful ground, which seems to match the initial colorful scene of the animation, that place seemed to be a beach without the sea, or even just a ground that was heavily explored and attacked, at the bottom of the horizon we see what appears to be factories releasing smoke into the air, and the sun setting, beginning the night. Then the animal that was next to the girl seems to look briefly at us and then at her as if warning that he was leaving, and for me, the animal represented comfort with the present, sleep, the deep sleep of our minds in relation to things that are happening in our time, as soon as the animal leaves, the girl seems to wake up and looks back, that's when she sees something curious, ancient humanity and that's when we see her too, so she looks with a perplexed expression and curious looking at the past, and we have varied reactions facing it, that is, our future evolution, some seem to be perplexed, curious, a woman even seems to be admiring with satisfaction, others seem to be judging, a woman seems to be very perplexed and confused in while the man next to him seems to be feeling guilt and worry about the future, and finally that boy who seems to be immersed in his thoughts, quite perplexed and reflective, then the girl from the future looks at the horizon again as if she is thinking, how can we get there? to such an extent? And this is what we have become? Then she looks at the viewer fearfully, she seems to be worried about us knowing what we would become, however, suddenly she smiles kindly and gracefully, as if saying to us: "I know you understood the message" "I trust you to create a different and better future", as if it were the altar himself telling us to pay attention to what our society is becoming, and how we are abandoning our values ​​as human beings, family values, morals, etc. Everything behind. However, as he said in the behind-the-scenes video, he wanted to send a message, but he also wanted Pulparia to be a consolation for us, and this animation, so beautiful and rich in details that it becomes hypnotizing, with this playful and thought-provoking soundtrack, managed do that. It showed us our future little by little, each scene seems to advance a little in the future, and they all indicate something bad, in the form of an alert and a warning, so in the end, we continue to be alerted by the empty and worrying landscape and by the girl's worried and fearful look. of the future, but at the end of it all she smiles at us from the "past" conveying the author's hope that humanity will be able to write a better future than that of Pulparia, and the beautiful yellow flowers that grow on the left of the wall (which represents the divider of past and future), amidst the many thorny plants, also highlights this. I hope I was able to decipher at least a little of this wonderful animation, say, did I get something right or did I completely trip? @ShingoTamagawa

[@TacticalFriedChicken]

Thank you for the comment To me the the red dress girl looks as if she's in a forest what looks like the connections in our brain, maybe it's as if dreaming If she is looking at us, maybe she's pointing left(towards beginning of video) as if telling us to look back at the past, when times were "better" or to learn from the past

The 'youth' at the end seriously feels like some kind of super organism who is the culmination of billions of years of evolution of a planet; where all iterations finally resulted in a godlike being of combined physiological and mental transcendence. His expressions make it seems like a tiny lifeform patiently endured everything to eventually come out on top, and he has both a higher vision of the ultimate purpose of life yet at the same time, a young, gleeful endearment to his own impressiveness. Really well done.

@@hexcodeff6624 ah so like a year per minute. My personal opinion is I actually like it more as just the 3 minutes, as much as I would love to see a feature length film that was animated like this I know it would lose its spark for me. It’s why I really like it when animation of any kind throws in little bits like this instead of keeping something like this as standard, I’d adapt and just want something of even more mind boggling quality. Instead I’ve came to enjoy the gems a creator will personally work for more than a whole studio effort. Of course there’s plenty of heart in studio productions but it has to be a different kind, and I enjoy that separate kind of animation as well. I guess when it comes down to it my whoooole perspective of art and animation changed when I learned just how much time goes into it.

Спасибо огромное автору за проделанную работу! Если я правильно поняла произведение,то куколка, а затем и взрослая особь это будущее, перемены. Люди чувствует приближение этих перемен,чувствуют, что мир изменился, и они боятся этих перемен и неизвестности. Лис, будто наше прошлое или настоящее,наш привычный мир, прощается и уходит, передавая эстафету новому времени. Люди испугано и с ожиданием смотрят и ждут, что же будет дальше, а будущее лишь улыбается, говоря, что не надо бояться. На душе как-то потеплело, от осознания, что не только меня пугает будущее и что все мы едины в этой беде. Правильно, не надо бояться будущего

I have watched 2000 of very different anime and always put analysis, how to make it better. I also watch every film and take something from it. Always try to improve my tastes. No one knows me. For others I’m just a nutriologist with good taste, I’m just secretly improving everything I could and don’t like. To create films or anime you need to know the life better than others near you. You need to think like other people, talk to many people, try to get into their place. You should look at everything you see and understand the sense of it with its past or even future. Look through the objects. I’m 17.

Based on the interview, it now seems to me, that the "Puparia" is an depiction of the artist’s creativity path. Creatures and locations is his hobby and live. Drawing, as a calm and beloved place, that brings him joy and fun (first woman scene) became hostile and disturbing, (scene with man and rooms) because he start worked in anime industry. In some moment he leave his busyness and stopped drawing at all. (women in red dress without any creature) And finally he returned back reborned with "Puparia". People on last scene are us.

[@joshuachiang3887]

Dude same! I think that was very intentional by the artist. In his interview he talks about how he feels as though in modern day society people lose their individualism and it becomes harder to just be yourself and focus on your own work. He shows this in this MASTERPIEECE by giving the large crowd similar skin tones and the same blank expressions, all of them look different but feel the same. Yet they all look to the 'alien' who stands out in its outfit, hairstyle and skin tone, the irony being that the alien is more human than the humans because he is being itself, unencumbered by societal influences.

[@leonardozaampieri1379]

The main message of the animation, connecting all the parts, seems to be that an alien race invaded and dominated planet Earth to harvest resources or live here, we can't know for sure, but they seem to be destroying and leaving the planet deserted, and this alien girl from White hair seems to be different, kind, and curious about human beings and wants to understand more about us. So maybe the reaction of that girl alone in what appeared to be a horseradish forest, of surprise, anger and then fear and coercion when answering what seemed to be a question to someone, was why she was answering this alien girl, the direction where what was left of humanity was, and she seems to have responded to that against her will out of pure fear. So finally the alien girl finds what's left of humanity after the wall, and her reaction when she sees us is the same as ours when we see her, scared, surprised and curious. But her smile at the spectator, a human, and her worried and fearful expression when looking again at the horizon, seems to show that she is different from the others, and that she is worried about what is happening on Earth and what they are doing to us. Of course I could simply be traveling and this animation could simply be something beautiful and abstract for us to enjoy, but I still think it has a context and a message behind it haha. Tell me if I'm right? @shingotamagawa

[@leonardozaampieri1379]

Two enigmatic scenes that are more difficult to fit, is the scene of the human girl sitting in everyday clothes with what appears to be an alien creature behind her, and the two seem to be very relaxed, which could be an indication of the main message of the animation soon. In the beginning, it is possible to form friendships with different beings and people, in this case the aliens who could be some kind of Pet who escaped from the colonizing Aliens, and ended up making friends with that human girl. The most difficult scene to interpret and fit into this narrative is the scene of the guy who appears to be in the hotel, relaxing in samba-cançao, and when he was about to enter what appeared to be his room, he comes across a being who appears to be be a moth or a giant moth, coming towards him quickly through the strange corridor of doors, while he looks at her with a worried and curious look, as if he knew there was no way to escape what was to come. Perhaps the giant moth is one of the invading Aliens that was approaching that man to do him some harm, he also seemed to have undergone medical experiments, one of his eyes had a strange red pattern and the fact that he was wearing underwear could To be another evidence of this, perhaps he had just left the operating table or was entering the room where it was going to happen, the fact is that he seemed very worried and not at all happy with the rapid and threatening approach of that giant insect whose gaze was cold. There is also the fact that the place he was in was very strange with that bizarre corridor of doors, despite resembling a hotel from our world, very beautiful indeed, that corridor of doors tells me that that place is not a common place, I actually believe it to be a laboratory, which they made look like a human place so as not to cause so much panic in the guinea pigs. In other words, the two scenes may seem disconnected but they end up fitting into my interpretation in the end haha, showing more details of human life amid this alien invasion.

I have watched this so many times and it seems to me that all these characters are the same person. A man with different eyes displays a transitional state(red for alien, blue for girl). It seems to me that this story is about life, about getting rid of a cocoon (puparia), about the path to oneself and the formation of a personality. These small golden butterflies can symbolize the people who inspired the author (Shingo-san said in an interview for Archipel that he was inspired by many authors such as Hayao Miyazaki and Hideaki Anno, they inspired him to become an animator, perhaps the butterflies symbolize this inspiration that prompted the character get up and go in search of yourself.Perhaps this corridor symbolizes the long and thorny path of the animator, full of uncertainty and fear.The corridor is a very tight space, there were also a lot of frames and boundaries, which can symbolize the pressure of this industry of rigid rules and norms. Girl in a red dress, points a finger in an incomprehensible direction, I think this may mean a goal and a desire for it, to get out of this cramped room.The last character looks like an alien, maybe this is the true appearance he was going to. He is strange, unusual, but extremely mesmerizing, people look at him with fear, but also with adoration. society's acceptance of this individual. Anyway, I think it's a very autobiographical work.
