This time I'd like to give a small shout-out to one of my favourite (if not favourite) animation troupe: gekidan INU CURRY, which composes of Doroinu and 2shiroinu. It's a troupe from Japan and they take inspiration from Russian and Czech stop-motion animation styles. They've most known for making witch animations for anime series called "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", which is also my favourite anime series, partly thanks to gekidan INU CURRY creating a wonderful atmosphere with their graphics.
Above you can see some of their work in Puella Magi Madoka Magica from around 0:26 forward. The girls are not animated by them. As you can see, their style is very naive yet very nightmarish at the same time. I really like the contrast. Also Yuki Kajiura's music really compliments their style and vice versa.
They've also done other works as well, for example Usagi Drop's and Maria Holic's ending sequences but also a music video for Maaya Sakamoto's song "Universe". I recommend taking a look, I embedded the video below.
I find it hard to find information about them online, mostly because I don't really understand Japanese. But I really adore their style, it's so cute, creepy, creative and full of surprises. Their art makes me want to experience different styles as well and test my artistic boundaries. They also have a webpage (where I took the images below), but it seems that they don't really update it any longer.
I hope you guys found this interesting because to me it's super interesting!
Happy thoughts,
Oona
