Yasuhiro Yoshiura-related DVD news, plus trailers for his CG shorts "Pale Cocoon" ("Peiru kokûn"), "Aquatic Language" ("Mizu no kotoba"), and "Kikumana"

well, that's a simply beautful looking piece or two of animation. so one subbed short and the rest are dubbed on this disc? wonder why yesasia dont have it listed... looks like a hit, nice and cheap too (probably a very short disc, missed the total runtime when i nosed around). nice find, as usual.

The running time of Pale Cocoon itself is 23 minutes and revolves around reconstructing the past through 'records' to understand the oh so gloomy present (no sea, no sky). One day a girl finds an unusual record...

Couldn't find out how long the other two shorts are though.
(Funny that they do have an English dub but no sub, but the main feature does).

A little research tells me that Kikumana is 6 minutes and Aquatic Language is 9 minutes long. (For those of you interested).

Looks like LAIN.

The DVD doesn't include an English-dubbed version of "Mô hitotsu no hakkutsu kiroku". (Note that in the second sentence of the article above, "both" isn't immediately preceded by the conjunction "and"; also, the second "and" is immediately preceded by a comma.)

I just watched the DVD. "Another dug up record" is not a video feature but a text based entry. Pale Cocoon is English subtitled and Aquatic Language has Japanese or English dialogue, but no subtitles. Both are well worth seeing!

I watched both Pale Cocoon and Aquatic language. The last one all of you can simply find on youtube (english dub). The thing i strive to watch now is Kikumana. Couldn't find it anywhere though. Any ideas?
