Here’s my Lord of Mysteries reaction video. It’s got a very cool anime style with some intense visuals and cool cinematography. I know how hard it is to produce animation at this level so hats off to the whole team! Check out this new animated series on #Crunchyroll or WeTV!

Incredible to watch, impossible to animate. That’s genius.
This fabric animation from Maboroshi was so clean and smooth. Props to the animator Yuriko Ishii.

I’m proud that Dean has transitioned from animation to live action. Film needs a little cartoon kick in the pants!
