VIDEO: Independent Anime "Tenkou Kotofumi" OP
18-year-old animator shows his amazing talent
"rapparu", a 18-year-old independent animator who lives in Tokyo, has posted his newest animation clip "Tenkou Kotofumi" (roughly translated as The History of Red Sky?) on YouTube on September 18. The anime was originally released on DVD at COMITIA, a quarterly original doujinshi event in Tokyo, on August 21.
It seems he did all the animation by himself, except the music which was a Trial & Error's free download song. You can check more his anime works and original illustrations at his site and the YouTube site. How do you like it?

I only watched the Redsky one, but I'm impressed. It's a little rough, but he's 18 and he did it by himself. With that in mind, it's pretty good. :)

Exciting! There is much inspiration for me to benefit from here, I'll be watching these several more times in the coming days as I study them. I'm most impressed that he did this with traditional animating techniques.
very nice animation good job...^^
i realised that too. but i can still say the 3rd one is awesome, considering some different choreographs.
Excellent backgrounds. Good music selection. Character animations are not bad, for an artist doing all the work solo. I can imagine what'd be like if he can pull together a team of assistants to produce enough in-between cels to make the character animations not so "jerky".
Hope he persues this field of art. The guy's decidedly got talent!

I love how everyone talks like they know the ins and outs of animation, lol.
Dito!
I guess if you watch 18 hrs of it a day it makes you an expert...

Considering I have troubles drawing stick figures, this guy is basically a god. I expect good things from him in the future!
At 18 this is really well done. I know I didn't get into Anime seriously until I was in my 20's, otherwise I might be able to compete with him! I'm sure he will improve and even at this level of quality it beats a ton of I have already seen.
wow these are pretty good
This is just beautiful! I hope I do work like this too!!^v^
this dude is very talented for his age.The tenkou op was great!...nice music as well!
I like it.

That's pretty good especially for an 18 year old that too awesome I wish him the best of luck with his animation career. That's what hard work will get you if you stick with what you love.

Ohhh, I like it! The art style is very delicate (even if a little rough around the edges) and clear, I expect to watch this young animation artist rise fast :)

So so... I'm an animator so I get to be super critical here. He's got a good feel for camera angles but needs to spend more time on animation, at least in the intro I watched. It's paced nicely but the animation could be smoother. I don't doubt this is something he is capable of by looking at the impressive study animations he's done. Definitely good for an 18 year old. Just hope he strives to make improvements.
Great stuff! Loved all three...what talent and only 18? The world is his oyster indeed! I lok forward to more of his work.
i didnt look at his age but the first thing i could say was wow. i was impressed with the background of the first video but honestly when the characters appeared i was like "eh?". seriously it could have been better, only more pictures in-between and perfect.
and i visited the website and he's really good with explosions and destroying concretes and smoke and missiles =S wowwie.
another one, he can draw the characters better with some practices =S high hopes for him. (might be her?)

Wow. Very impressed for someone so young to do this by themselves.

See, it's stuff like this that makes me ask myself: "Have I done anything productive today?"
Lamentations aside, you gotta admit that the kid has skills; I especially loved the fire and particle effects!
