Experience and Imagination
When asked to participate as a member of the jury for the 24th Japan Media Arts Festival, I was unsure of being able to fulfill my responsibilities and pick and choose the winners.

Originality,Completeness,and Necessity
Thanks to this screening, I've become acutely aware of three aspects of an animated work: originality, completeness, and necessity. Excellence Award-winning MARONA'S FANTASTIC TALE had a compelling design born of innovative ideas as well as unique motion and production not often seen in long-form animation. The other three winners in the category were less innovative but showed extremely advanced …
