Masaaki Yuasa: Five Films - Collector's Edition [Blu-ray]

Widely regarded as one of the most imaginative and influential filmmakers working in animation, Masaaki Yuasa's energetic style has been compared to Tex Avery and Max Fleischer. He is one of contemporary anime's most prolific auteurs and has lent his humor and dynamism to genres as diverse as psychedelic thrillers, transcendent rock-operas and sweetly subversive teen romances. This set includes Masaaki Yuasa's five celebrated feature films—— Mind Game (2004), The Night is Short, Walk on Girl (2017), Lu Over the Wall (2017), Ride Your Wave (2019), and Inu-Oh (2021)—along with a host of never-before-seen bonus features and an original booklet celebrating the work of this one-of-a-kind storyteller.Bonus Content:Disc 1 - Mind Game: Feature-Length AnimaticProduction Artwork GalleriesTrailer Disc 2 - The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl: Interview with Director Masaaki YuasaTrailers and TV Spots Disc 3 - Lu Over the Wall: Audio Commentary with Filmmakers (Producer, Eunyoung Choi; Director, Masaaki Yuasa; Anime Critic/Moderator, Ryota Fujitsu)Interview with Masaaki YuasaTrailers and TV SpotsDisc 4 - Ride Your Wave: Interview with Eunyoung ChoiAnimated StoryboardsCharacter Still GalleryTheatrical TrailersDisc 5 - Inu-Oh: Audio Commentary with Lead Performers Avu-Chan, Mirai Moriyama, and Masaaki YuasaBiwa PerformanceOriginal Cast InterviewQ&A at US PremiereInterview with Masaaki YuasaCharacter DrawingTrailers and TeasersDisc 6: Mind Game: 2022 American Cinematheque Q&AMind Game: Character DrawingMind Game: Scene BreakdownLu Over the Wall: Scene BreakdownLu Over the Wall: Character Drawing The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl: Scene BreakdownRide Your Wave: Scene BreakdownInu-Oh: Scene BreakdownA Night Out with Yuasa: An Exclusive Interview with Masaaki Yuasa at a Los Angeles Speakeasy, Where He Discusses his Inspirations, Favorite Type of Restaurants, Perfect Vacation, Dancing, and MoreHappy Machine: Short Film by Masaaki YuasaKick-Heart: Short Film by Masaaki Yuasa
