Kodansha Celebrates Manga with Papercraft Animation Short

Kodansha's Papercraft Celebration

On Saturday, Kodansha premiered a charming anime short, created using stop-motion papercraft techniques. The video captures the essence of beloved scenes from its iconic series.

A Creative Tribute

The short features a delightful array of characters from popular titles including:

• Akira
• Cardcaptor Sakura
• Initial D
• Cells at Work!
• Ghost in the Shell
• Attack on Titan
• Fairy Tail

Directed by Toru Katori, with Takuro Oishi as the animation director, the video is a visual feast lasting just over a minute and a half. Kodansha invites viewers to experience what it calls a nostalgic venture for fans of the manga and anime community.

A Unique Viewing Experience

Kodansha playfully challenges fans, asking, "We've all seen the legendary Akira bike slide before - but have you ever seen it animated entirely out of paper?" This innovative approach not only pays homage to classic anime moments but also showcases the potential of papercraft animation.

For fans eager to watch this celebration of creativity, Kodansha's YouTube channel is the go-to spot!
