    After being betrayed by his peers and lost both his father and his right arm, legendary craftsman "Jingoro Hidari" is on a journey of revenge with his partner "Sleeping Cat" and his mechanical prosthetic arm. Finally, Jingoro faces one of his adversaries "Inumaru" in a fight to the death...
    This is a pilot version of the stop-motion samurai film that tells the story of "Jingoro Hidari," a legendary Edo-era craftsman. All the characters are made by wood and animated frame by frame, just like how Jingoro's wooden sculptures came to life in his many anecdotes. We hope you enjoy this film, which mixes dynamic actions as seen in Japanimation, and the rich analog expressions of stop-motion animation.
    Our intention is to use this pilot film as a starting point to create a full length feature film. We have started activities to raise the necessary partners and funding to achieve this goal.

    Hi everyone on UA-cam! Thank you for all the positive vibes and encouraging comments here❤The whole HIDARI team is feeling massive love from the global community, and it helps us big time, to keep pushing forward to making more of Jingoro’s stories come to life. I have a much longer story to tell about him, and yes, it involves his origin, more villains, more mecha, and more secret prosthetic weaponry :) Pls share the vid to your friends, as we continue to search for production partners & investors to make this into a full length film or series. Huge ARIGATO! Masa (Director & Voice actor of the doggo)

    My favorite thing about this is how no one's pretending that these aren't people made of wood. All the protagonists weapons are wood working tools or wooden mechanisms. Sawdust instead of blood. Even everything has a nice wooden clunk sound when it moves. It totally embraces the art form and breaks the 4th wall while giving me the feeling that this is just part of the lore of this world. The fight choreography is interesting and stylish. One of the coolest and most clever things I've seen in a while. Definitely would watch more of this.

      @@STEFRICH60500P Well, Hidari Jingoro is a very interesting historical figure because although having a number of real world works that experts have attributed to him, most of his history is a mixture of various legends, such as him missing an arm. Stories vary from losing it to rivals, fire, a displeased mentor, yokai, and so on. It's likely he lost it to a work related accident and legends grew out from it. Unfortunately I can't read enough Japanese to read more material about him. But if anyone else knows more about him I'd love to learn too!

Not many people may want to do it, which is valid. But I would have clarified that it is in of itself an art form that requires passion.

    One thing I noticed and loved is how excentric some movements are during combat. The way he throws his sawrd at 1:10, the cord pulling at 1:17, the next sawrd throw at 1:37, the way he spins and holds that guy at 1:59 and so forth. It looks fluid, and feels like he's posing, but not in a "I'm badass" way, but in a weird artistic expressive way.

The frame rate is low, but it fits great with the wooden theme and the slightly-clunky animation that resembles wood movement. Heck, there's even separate motion blur model for the epic looking chainsaw. The fight choreography is GREAT, and I really like how the background is changed to black during the fight scenes, which gives more focus to the epic fight scene.
