The Japanese film site Cinema Today has released a new trailer for Gisaburo Sugii’s 3D animated film Tofu Kozo (literally “tofu boy”) via their channel on YouTube.
Based on the novel “Tofu Kozo Sugoroku-dochu Furidashi” by Natsuhiko Kyogoku, the story is set in Edo period Japan and revolves around the young son of the leader of all yokai (fictional spirits and monsters from Japanese folklore). Unlike his fellow yokai, Tofu Kozo (voiced by actress Kyoko Fukada) is unable to scare even the most timid of humans due to his silly appearance and his completely unintimidating calling card of carrying a plate of tofu around. Constantly made a fool of by his colleagues and scolded by his father, Tofu Kozo is joined by a Dharma doll chaperone as he embarks on a trip to find his mother. He’s involved in various adventures on his journey and experiences personal growth along the way.

As far as using 3D animation to create really nice looking animated films the Japanese do a really good job of it. Though some of the movements in this trailer do look a bit stiff I really like the character design in it. There is just something about it that clicks with me. I am also quite fond of the counter culture theme in this story as well.
The Asylum Session’s story follows the trials and coming-of-age of teenaged boys and girls in the distant future. In this era, the development of civilization has stopped and even declined. Hiyoko is a runaway girl who goes to live in tents with other people at a stadium nicknamed “Asylum.” There, she meets Akira, a leader of a band of street children. Profiteering police want to tear down the stadium, so its denizens create a street culture event called “The Asylum Session” to counter those plans.
