Details on Karasu -KARAS-
OAV in celebration of the studios 40th anniversary.
As Keiichi Satou is the director and original planner for KARAS, a suspense story that takes place in a future Tokyo haunted by ghosts. Sato said, "I wanted to create an anime with high-speed camera like, stop motion direction. Fusion of 2D and 3D isn't usually used for anime characters except for motion capturing. I'm not trying to imitate human movement, I think I managed to create a new charm, using 3D as a technique to enhance the characters in an anime-esque way, different to what has been done till now. Rather than realism I aimed for coolness. I am very satisfied with part 1."
Chief of production, Dolby Digital EX.
A trailer is available from the KARAS website here.
Karasu means crows in Japanese.
