This series has that magical power ;o;
I cried during the first episode of season 1, and I knew absolutely nothing about the story (I hadn't even seen the trailers; it was my son who encouraged me to watch the series <3).

Almost 3 years of waiting and still no season 2 of "Heavenly Delusion" ;__;

I'm happy to see 3 French animated films being released in Japanese theaters in less than 3 months (feat. "Mars Express" & "Little Amelie").

Less than $10 million is what most French/European animated films still cost to make.

From the new trailer of "A New Dawn", the first feature directed by Yoshitoshi Shinomiya.

However, my short video montage is also here to discreetly celebrate today's *unofficial release* of new LD-rip of "Take the X Train" using a Domesday Duplicator (add "wowmd" to your search ;-). What a coincidence!

From "Take the X Train", another obscure OVA directed by Rintaro (in 1987), which will unlikely never be remastered in HD.
Animation director / Character designer : Yoshinori Kanemori.

"Walks", a workshop with James Baxter.
