Perhaps no greater summary of the time spent in the world of the duology of steampunk original anime films that is Kurayukaba and Kuramerukagari came from the post-screening greeting at the Niigata International Animation Film Festival: After a suspenseful mystery through the underground of this unusual world, out comes the director in an outfit that would look at home in the film’s shady black market… apprehended by the film’s producer, Yoshida Shinnosuke, wearing a giant mask of the Laughing Mask vigilante group. The Kurayukaba and Kuramerukagari duology is a decade’s culmination of work for independent creator/director Shigeyoshi Tsukahara. The films comes after toiling away at original short animated projects for seven years until a successful crowdfunding project pushed the idea from a dream and concept phase to the films we see today. Fast forward three years and Kurayukaba premiered and won the award for Best Animated Feature at Fantasia in Canada.
