/anime/ - Animation Appreciation Thread #5

I'm thinking about this kickstarter project and wondering what the long-term goal is. One of the stated goals is the funding to submit the work to festivals. Japan has an "independent" animation industry centered around festival screenings of work that would have no appeal to "anime" viewers. Yet Yuasa's was made in the "anime" industry and not the "independent" industry. A 10 minute work by Yuasa doesn't have huge commercial appeal even if it could make its money back on DVD/BD somehow so investors in the "anime" industry would be wary and rather invest their money in something else. But by submitting the work to various international festivals Yuasa's name would rise in the world of "independent" animation and it's possible that his future projects would find its investors there.

Which could mean that there is no longer room for someone like Yuasa in the world of "anime".
