I really wish this studio all the best. I can only imagine the challenges he’s had to fight through to get this far.

Pakistani Drama's are loved in India. Pakistani Music, such as Coke studio and Nescafe basement are a spectacular spin of Pakistani culture and values of devotion, romance and spirituality. The art potential there is limitless, and I am happy to see the beginning of Animation in Pakistan. It will surely thrive, sooner or later. Indeed, the first step is always the hardest. My full love and support to the team of The Glassworker. May God help this artform prosper in the most beautiful ways.

Well, in some serious side, I think its still Anime because Anime are Art style, not just the animation came from, just like Manga(japan comik), Manhwa(korean comik) and Manhua(chinese comik) And the art style are looks like Ghibli But ofc its not bad, no matter what the art style, the important thing are how the story delivering

[@luffyland4996]

As an anime fan, ima give this a chance. Hopefully Pakistan will rise in the anime industry

[@3DSnips]

'Once i get my energy back' those words can tell how hard it must've been to make the glassworker.

Making anime is hard. Most directors / writers quit it after a few projects.

The movie looks gorgeous! I hope it comes out internationally one day :)

[@gilangagil5746]

Ya Allah, the animation looks GORGEOUS! Wish for a bright future and further development of Pakistani animation industry, love from Indonesia.

I sincerely wish him all the best. I hope his studio succeeds. On a separate note he looks like Richard Ayoade

[@H_F2023]

I actually thought that Richard Ayoade was doing a piece on this film and I was like wow is it big enough to attract international celebs😂

[@fatimazainab7464]

This is such a fabulous initiative! As a south Asian person, I have yearned for having my culture represented accurately in Anime. To have animes that are based in South Asia is just mind-boggling. More power to Mano Animations Studio!

I wanna watch this. I've seen the trailer a year or so ago and it was so gorgeous. I love studio Ghibli like animations. I'm so proud of him. Good job!

[@fennex2000]

My advice is that Pakistan is not isolated on Island they have a whole Islamic world that could be a great market for their work Also in Algeria there is a new Anime movie ( khamsa the well of oblivion ) it is getting recieved well IN Algeria and already had many rewards in Aisa and Europe so there is hope for this countries to create a Market for new Anime type

Would love to see the Glassworker in the UK! Why wouldn’t it work there. There’s such a large Pakistani community.

[@sugarzblossom8168]

I agree with him. It would be amazing if countries around tbe world created more animations. I would like to create some but can't draw and my story telling needs a lot of work but i am working on that at least

[@ZiaulK]

I could never tell if I didn't know it was coming of Pakistan.

[@MoonThuli]

Looks good

[@sentinel2199]

Please get it right! It's not "anime" (animation from Japan), it's animation from Pakistan (albeit inspired by anime).

[@azzam6532]

I think its still Anime because Anime are Art style, not just the animation came from, just like Manga(japan comik), Manhwa(korean comik) and Manhua(chinese comik)

[@Syiepherze]

If you ask a Japanese person what this is, they'd call it anime too because that's just their abbreviation for animation I understand wanting to keep the "purity" of the word anime to keep it distinct from other animation varieties, but I feel like the line is getting blurred a lot now, especially with the rise of donghua (Chinese animation) and aeni (Korean animation)

[@JAI_SHREE_RAM12337]

Ah do believe its important for westerners to make a distinction as ah just dont like western animation

[@JAI_SHREE_RAM12337]

​@@Syiepherzechina and korea are fine for most people ah see But ah really dont want india or pakistan to claim they are making anime. Instead they should define their own type

[@MoonlightsManga]

I think you have a point....but doesn't anime mean animation? 🤔

Japan anime industry was started as an outsource for disney. Now they surpass american animation in any way. China,korea and the Philippines also provide outsourcing services for american animation industry but japan just have that special sauce

[@sultanmalik1]

Bro, People really get mad in Pakistan if they depict any sort of obscenity in Pakistani series or films, not even a kiss scene is allowed in Pakistan, but It is really growing fast and Series like Khaie and Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi had a lot of violence, but it got really popular, and everyone loved as well. The Legend of Maula Jatt also had a lot of violence, but it became the highest grossing film in Pakistan, so violence is permissible in Pakistani content. they can achieve even further

[@shehannanayakkara4162]

Pakistan makes an animated film and suddenly Channel 4 asks "could Pakistan be the new home for anime?". Bit of a leap there lol.
