One man. One nightmare. Seventeen minutes of 'HOW did he do that?!'
Featurette about the making of the 1992 animated film Shōjo Tsubaki (Midori). Attached as a special feature with the film's French release.
Direction
Harada's five-year solo grind is genuinely unhinged commitment.
Production
Hand-drawing thousands of cels alone — no studio, no help, no sleep.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Harada reportedly survived on instant ramen and slept under his desk for months; assistants would quit after days.
This featurette helped transform Shōjo Tsubaki from 'lost banned film' to art-house myth, especially in France where it finally found legal release.
