“Living in a World Without Magic” began as my university graduation project.
From December of my third year until its release in July after graduation — about a year and a half — I created everything on my own, from the scenario to all the visuals (except for sound).
Since its release, so many people have watched it that it’s now passed six million views on YouTube. It even led to a novel publication and an award at the Akihabara International Film Festival.
To think that something made by an ordinary college student could grow that big... honestly, it’s a little overwhelming.
Ever since then, I’ve received comments from around the world — “I want to see this as a movie!” “Please make it into a full-length or TV anime!”
Each time I saw those, I’d think, “It was tough enough making seven minutes... a full anime would literally kill me.”
And yet — somehow — a new project has begun that might turn it into a feature-film without me dying in the process.
Is it really okay for something that convenient to exist? Thank you so much.
The original “Living in a World Without Magic” music video was made under many restrictions.
Because it was an MV, I couldn’t use dialogue. Working alone meant I had to keep production costs down, and there were technical limits to what I could do. I pushed myself right to the edge of what one person could accomplish.
The character designs were intentionally simple because I couldn’t afford to animate them too much, and even then, creating 3D backgrounds and glowing butterflies was about as far as I could go.
There were scenes I wanted to include but couldn’t, due to the music length or animation cost, and parts of the story I had to simplify for the same reason.
If this new project succeeds, it could finally become a work free from those limitations.
Right now, the project is still at the stage of preparing to form an anime production committee, so it’s not officially green-lit yet.
But with enough support from everyone — your voices, your enthusiasm — that dream can become reality.
Please share it with your friends, family, classmates, coworkers... and spread the word on social media.
Your support will bring the anime to life.
