“The TV Show” by Sugimoto Kousuke


Directed by Sugimoto Kousuke. Music by Manabe Takayuki. (via Ben Morris)

“The TV Show” animated short is one of those super condensed, frantically paced, ultra action-packed, hall-of-mirrors-ish, infinite-loopy, style-mashing, color-clashy, genre-fusing, worlds colliding, fractal braingasm-inducing kinda sorta thingies that most folks will probably need to watch multiple times in a serene, zen-like state before they begin to absorb everything that’s going on.

It was independently produced by director Sugimoto Kousuke, who sees many things. He sees plans within plans.

    Saw this last night. This guy really is incredible. I can’t help but wonder if I would be doing amazing stuff like this if I’d been born in Japan. (Or maybe France.)

    … Probably not. Better get crackin’!

    It’s so META! Lovers of poststructuralism and Thomas Pynchon novels are pissing themselves with glee watching this, I’m sure.
