Veteran animation director Keiichiro Kimura has launched a Kickstarter project in order to create a new five-minute short anime movie.
Kimura, 76, describes <em>Go! Samurai</em> as: "a sketch animation (Sobyo-doga) where each and every frame will be hand-drawn in pencil by the legendary animator. It will consist of approximately 2000 frame works focused on a single samurai that fights for his life against 100 of his vicious enemies. It will be around 5 minutes duration (or longer depending on budget)."
At the time of writing this article, <em>Go! Samurai</em> has reached nearly $7,000 of its $10,000 target with 24 days to go.
Amongst his work, Kimura has work on many anime considered classics. These include the first magical girl series <em>Sally the Witch</em>, the original version of sci-fi series <em>Cyborg 009</em>, crime caper <em>Lupin the Third</em> and wrestling series <em>Tiger Mask</em>.
