I had never heard of AC-bu, so this was delightful; it's such a testament to the fearless creatives. Of all things, it made me think of perfume, and how some of the greatest noses are the ones that aren't trying to create a "pretty" or even marketable scent, instead they try to convey the emotions that scent triggers in our brain. We feel, and maybe some people on a technical level know WHY we feel, but most people just... feel. Because the goal isn't what brings about the "good" feelings, it's about what brings *all* the feelings that will ultimately lead to us feeling whole.
Thank you so much! It's fantastic to hear that you got this much out of the piece. AC-bu really shows that there's an exception to every rule in animation, and it's a message of theirs we're happy to spread.
I'm literally going to Tama Art Uni and I didn't even know about these fellas, awsome write up.
Haha, thanks very much! Glad we could introduce you to their stuff.

Thank you for the kind words and these fascinating points! It's a lot of fun that our piece could inspire this train of thought.
AC-BU are the greatest, thanks for sharing all this background info.
We're huge fans of their stuff -- it was great to have the chance to write about them. Thank you!
Me too, I’ve written about them on my Substack and screened New Tribe at an event in NY.
That rare booklet was very cool. Couldn’t get enough of that!
Thank you! Glad you liked it -- we thought there was some amazing stuff in the interview.
I took the time to watch nearly every link and each time it was an additional level of creativity
Immensely interesting story. Thank you. It is an eye opener for me. Best
