Hello, and welcome to the first in what I hope will be a regular series, where I examine the work of animators, directors and the many great creatives working in the world of animation.

Today's episode looks at the short films directed by the great Mahiro Maeda! (Blue Submarine No. 6, Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo)

Special thanks to AnimeGolem, AnimeAjay, YTWes, Josh Dunham and ibcf for helping figure out what to do with this video.
