    I don't interact much with these shorts - though I do watch a lot of them, usually in bulk - but frankly, I fucking loved this video in particular. Like it's so far out of what I expect from a japaneats short, but you give the guy all the room in the world to explain hinself and tell his story and it's a really humble, down to earth story.
    I think it's really cool that you were able to get an interview - more power to him for agreeing to the interview in the first place, of course - and I think you're a great interviewer in the way you ask direct questions and let the guy go into his process and stuff.
    I like your Jesus Pizza video with your usual production and pizazz, and your other videos of course, but this is on a whole other level. And I'll tell you what; ship us some of those plastic straws in the foreground to Australia, we're living in mushy paper straw hell. We need it.
    But yeah. Sorry to ramble, but this video just struck me with how good it is. I'm already subbed, but if I had taken a gamble and watched this blind with no prior knowledge of you as a youtuber, I probably would have subbed today. Great short, dude.
