    I've always liked his scratchy and deformed art style. It has certain french sensibility that I can observe in comic artists such as Nicolas de Crécy. I wonder why Japan has such a big problem with funding shorts and animation in general when compared to other countries? I mean animation has become one of the staples of Japan, hence why they should nurture it rather than create the current bubble that will inevitably burst.

    Paradoxically, I think the Anime industry is too popular right now for the government to feel the need to step in. Only when the bubble actually bursts and the system collapses will they move in to try and resuscitate it. And with the internet bringing global distribution to anyone with access to it... And capable software and hardware getting more and more into the reach of normal folk... Even the solutions available with crowdfunding... The government might not think that the arthouse shorts industry actually need that much help. It's not an ideal world... But that's how I have interpreted things from afar.

Back then I didn’t find too much Information on Yamamura, and I kinda feared that he would be a guy lost in obscurity...! So I’m super stoked to learn how esteemed he is and how well he does for himself. Thanks for the great documentary, tocotoco! As always, tremendous work!
