I think governments should support indie animation more. It's such a beautiful medium and requires so much care and effort. Definitely needs to be preserved in this dark dark world
The Govt. can barely support itself or even the most basic needs of it's people, let alone animation 😅
Commies...
@@WQR2in western countries it is doable more money is spent on corruption or something, but in third world countires it might take a bit of a hot to what they can do
Why governments?
@@EdoKu18 Because art and thus animation is a cultural value and I think governments should work on preserving and advancing culture of a society. This is my subjective opinion of course, not an objective view or a rule. Its just a wish of mine.
Its how renaissance happened after all, government supported artists and such amazing art occured especially in Italia. But this is probably only possible for well-off countries and not under-developed ones like the above commenters said :(
As a Karachite , As a Pakistani , As an Anime Lover, I am so proud that finally I will be able to watch our own hand drawn Animation Film. Thank you Usman for making this dream of yours come true.
Honored and grateful. Thank you so much for all your support!
Same man
Is this anime even contains Pakistan terrorism and discrimination of the minorities
Love from india
Lets gooo, just saw the trailer
Waiting to see a history being made by u guys

I am not Karachite or Pakistani, but as an anime lover, I am also proud to watch a movie made by Usman and his team. Hopefully, soon they will have new titles and new dreams.
As an Indian , im really looking forward to the film.good work brothers.🎉
Same bro
me to 👍
Pakistan film animation 🇵🇰🇵🇰
❤❤
A PAKISTANI MAN MADE THIS?!?! AS A PAKISTANI GIRL I AM SO PROUD OF U OSMAN ❤❤🎉
All of us really need to appreciate their work.10 yrs is not a joke
lots of anime audience in India but still no one like this kind of dedication to match miyazaki as an Indian I am excited to watch this movie hope I get a job at your studio
I am not from Pakistan, so I hope there will be some kind of worldwide release. The animation looks amazing, and the story seems so lovely ☺
The concept of glassworks ❣️
As a Pakistani we should promote this everywhere and we all should go and watch this bcz why not it's our frst hand drawn anime film
I'm Indian 🇮🇳 and I think it's beautiful. Artists support each other and I want this to succeed as I see real artists working here with vision
Thank you all for keeping animation in the conversation
really as an indian i am really proud that our blood can do this, amazing work. much luck ahead
When mainstream Western animation studios start to stagnate, other creative and adventurous studios will rise from other lands. Kudos to the team. This could be the start of Pakistan's own Studio Ghibli.
I'm from India. The trailer of this movie is so beautiful, and I really wanted to watch this movie.
I am literally crying rn I knew Pakistan had talent and had that gut that Pakistan would make us proud one day 😢 I am so happy and soooooo proud to be a Pakistani 😢😢😢🎉🎉
I'm a musician/composer/songwriter (41 M) from Indonesia. To be very honest, I do really wish I could have something like this, a beautiful team studio full of talented, passionate, & visionary people working together creating something beautiful & inspiring. But sadly, in reality, it never happened here. Dear Usman Riaz, you truly have the talents, support, & to be honest, also probably privileges & luck of making all these dreams become reality, where not everyone can do this, even if they really want to. Honestly, I feel both bittersweet, somewhat envious, but also deeply touched & moved by this beautiful, heartwarming project. As a Ghibli fan myself, I'm really waiting to watch this beautiful animated movie. I'm sure its deep message would be able to really touch a lot of people's hearts deeply not just only for Pakistani people, but also people all across & around the world/planet.
When is urs?
Wholeheartedly approved
Basically he is creative genius along with a lot of money in hand.
Otherwise how could you work at this much high level.
And definitely a lot of hardwork.
This is a real cultural milestone. Thanks, Usman, for making this movie and continuing the legacy of hand-drawn animation.
❤ much respect...don't stop..why can this be released in the UK and usa
Mashallah just beautiful can't wait
The film is scheduled to premiere at the 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival on 9 June and to release theatrically in Pakistan on 26 July 2024. (Information obtained from wikipedia)
Copied this here for people curious as me:) I didn't see any dates and was curious was it already released or it's an upcoming movie. Can't wait to be able to see it myself after global release💫❤🔥
as an indian and a beginner artist i think the glass worker is going to be great and in india also we need to support our animation industry and learn from other countries. Still great work Usman and the entire mano studios team looking forward to it
Agreed
We already have motu patlu, chota bheem and so on..
@@Asiandramas99 😂 ngl Motu Patlu and chota bheem are the worst cartoon I have ever seen in my life...
@@ice_bear_126 that’s personal choice… A lot of people like them , that’s why they are still running… So you point makes zero sense
@@Asiandramas99 bro seriously? These cartoons you mentioned are horrible, saying this as an Indian. India is really lagging behind when it comes to animation, please don't lie to yourself
The production team of glassmaker specially Usman Riaz and his way of telling the story behind the making of this film seems so inspiring and encouraging to watch. Specially the quote he mentioned “bloom where you are planted” has taken a significant place in my mind. I really hope the movie gets all the love and recognition it deserves. I’m really proud of each and every member of production team.
This is Karachi this is Pakistan 💙
After a long time saw it other wise on social media we are used to see negative news & things!
These kind of talent should be shown on every media platform
Pakistan’s positive image✨
Very excited to see this movie atleast once, I am a big fan of Ghibli production, And I am very proud that in my neighbouring country somebody is going to make a movie like that, the glassworker trailer is beautiful 😍
I love the fact you chose 2D classic animation. I miss this technique and it reminds me of ghibli feel too. So i'm really happy for this existing ^^
Now I know how it feels to have happy tears + goosebumps + love of something before even watching it. Usman Riaz itself is a gift to Pakistan 🙌
I never thought, in all of my life, that we'd ever get to see an animated film made in Pakistan. There are no words to describe how much of a pleasant surprise this is. The more creative voices we have in the animation space, the better. We've had Disney, Studio Ghibli, Cartoon Saloon, and now...Mano Animation.
Welcome aboard, and I wish you all the best!
this entire episode, the way every person's seemingly putting their deepest feelings into their words- the preamble is so beautiful, I can't even fathom what the actual film would be like. This is beyond revolutionary.
Finally, I'll be able to watch our own hand-drawn animation
As someone who grew up in Karachi, I can relate to a lot of the things Usman talked about here. I’m really happy that he injected all of that into the movie artistically. This is what art is all about. I hope this film reaches great heights of success. Really happy for you, king!
i literally cannot wait. i cried when i saw Mariam tear down the paper for the inhouse remaining BG.
I know how miraculous this project is and understand that there is an unfathomable amount of work involved.
The sense of how much perseverance was needed hit me for some reason with that shot. Im in shambles and all the shambles are in awe!
IM SO EXCITED
Thank you so much Maha. This was made for everyone who loves this craft the way I do.
I gave it my best and so did everyone. Now let’s see what happens.
I. A

I felt tears in my eyes for watching this childhood dream becoming true that we would be having world class animation movies of our own.
Love from India ❤❤❤ , I hope some day in India we can create something like this .
But if BJP Rules continue don't hope for such things.
@@eRusher
Wtf seriously have you lost your mind?
What BJP has to do with this? 😑
@@mrrandom347many things
@@free_palestine_8481 explain what BJP has to do with anime don't comment anything nonsense
I first heard about this project maybe half a decade ago and felt and told my collegues that this isn't going to work in Pakistan because of the economics to be able to execute a project like this. But 10 years down the line, we really cannot help but salute the consistency the perserverance, and resilience Usman has shown behind his passion project. I will be the first one in the line to watch this brilliant masterpiece and hopefully meet the creator behind this dream...
As a Pakistani I am so proud of you my brother and I would love to watch this movie with my family.
I know this isn't enough but i would buy the dvd or blueray if it comes out to support you guys.
So proud of you man. The moment I heard that this movie was from Pakistan. My eyes shone for a second
This man had made my country proud... ❤
I hope he and his movie will be nominated in Oscars. If that happened, it will be a huge moment for Pakistan.
As an experienced 2D animator from India and a fan of Ghibli films, I feel immense joy and pride seeing an animated 2D feature from Pakistan. It's a significant milestone. I'd love to see more behind-the-scenes footage and eagerly await its release in Indian theaters. Usman, I'd love to hear your thoughts on "The Boy and the Heron." 😊
As a Pakistani, I feel so incredibly proud to witness and appreciate the incredible hard work of Usman Riaz and Mano Animation Studios. Your dedication and creativity are truly inspiring. Finally, we can watch our own anime film and eagerly look forward to the upcoming ones. Thank you. Pakistan Zindabad.
Such dedication of a decade
I don't know about budget but You got time that might be enough for someone as passionate as you
Guys being a Pakistani i only watch movies on netflix or Internet but just to support you as a Pakistani i will go to cinema for this The glassworker movie. Appreciate your work
as an indian i would love to see your movie first so excited🤩
This brave and creative men and women are the only hope for Pakistan
Gonna go watch it in Movie theater when it comes out❤
Great work. Hope it will also be released in Germany 🥰
In the world of technology he created his own hand drawn animation...hands down sir Usman. I am rooting for this.❤
So proud to see his patience journey and fully dedicated to one project for a decade.... Hats off to you usman.... We love you and we are proud of you❤
"We are proud of you, Usman Raiz."
I don't know man but I am so so proud of you. May Allah gives you huge amount of success and your film gets the recognition it deserves You have worked so hard for it and you deserves huge amount of appreciation.
As a Pakistani, I am incredibly proud. I am still in middle school, and I am a book worm and I am also into anime. I had always noticed that pakistan didn't have hand drawn anime, I am incredibly happy. Thank you for making our dream come true. May god bless you.
YAY GO YOU I am so excited like this is the first 2D animated film in PAKISTAN u have given me soo much hope like this is possible bravo man bravo
Hand drawn animation and comic books should be considered some of the highest forms of art. Artists able to draw characters and creation straight from their head, w/o reference, even creating new things, is something very incredible compared to studio artists who have to draw from life, still lives, and models.
I have never seen such a a talented and ambitious man in my life
Good luck 👍👏👏
great job guyz inshalah block buster in all over the world .pakistan zindabad
the more I hear about this movie the more I want to watch it.
with no exaggeration I think this is the movie I look for the most this year or whenever it comes out, but I know I'll be there day 1 to watch it
First time proud to be pakistani thank u Sir❤
If you don't tell me it's from Pakistan, I would not believe it, I am loving it
I have no words to show you the gratitude for your work but I can say that for sure from this point in time the history of Pakistan will be changed forever.
Keep working like this we are proud of you for stepping in the animevers
Hey fellow Indian here, I love seeing people passionate about their work. Best wishes for your film.
I think I've met this guy Usman. It's been a while since I've felt this proud of our people
As an indian i am so proud of you sir usman 💗💗💗
Cause i am sure if indian ever creates any kind of movie or show or series , they always wanna make pakistan the villian but i am glad you had a better , brilliant better idea 💡
R u really Indian??? We did not start war with Pakistan three times and you have the guts to say that Indians make Pakistanis a villain. Most of the Pakistani hates us especially Hindus and in their school textbook it mentions that you should hate hindu especially in madarasa. Hindus and Jews are our eternal enemy. Wow what a hypocrisy.
The way he talk and the work he did both are soothing ❤
Can't wait to watch this film
As a Pakistani Indie filmaker. I literally cried seeing Glasswork as a Pakistani animation film. I know the pain you guys have gone through bringing a dream to life. Kudos to Usman and all other people who supported them financially beliving in them. Guys just don't stop keep bringing more.
Usman I really appreciate your work for Pakistan you make us proud Today and also you motivated us that there's nothing impossible. 😊
True artist. Everyone appreciates his work but let's appreciate his persistence in pursuing his dream for a very long time.
Thank you very much. It means a lot to me
- Usman
It was ten years in the making i want to watch it! Amazing job!
Looking forward to the film. Will definitely support this indie production m
Usman, All Pakistanis are proud of you. You did something that they can proudly say, a guy from my country did it. Thank you for giving us something this beautiful which we didn't deserve but we needed the most. Love from your Karachi fellow.
Am really happy and proud to see his dedication for one project for such a long time. It truly is a milestone for our country. I cant express how thankful I am to you Usman for your and everyone's efforts for this project. I just cant wait to watch this movie in theatres when it comes out.♥
This level of work and passion is phenomenal 💝
I love watching anime. When I heard that Mano studio is trying to make first 2d animation film I became so excited for the glass worker. I hope they will succeed and bring the same culture of anime in Pakistani.
I'm so excited for this film, we can already see it has been crafted with so much love in each detail by all of the team that I hope it gets the recognition it deserves! I wish you all the best! My best friend from high school and I can't wait to watch it. Hugs from Spain!
Comments on instagram and youtube are nights and days. Man I love seeing all the praise you get here. Divide my boarder but united my love for anime.
Goosebumpsssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are Karachiiets pride and you have shown what we can do ! 😊 Infact you are whole Pakistan's Pride 🇵🇰👍
not just the movie but just the sheer hardwork and commitment that went into this is so motivating to not just me but surely many other people who would want to pursure their dreams in a third world country and this movie just proves that anything is possible, this project is more than just a movie, its a beacon of hope for all those people who are wanting to follow their dreams in a country where opportunities need to created and arent just handed over, thank you guys so much for committing to it and making it happen
Y'know...I never thought my home country would be capable of doing something this beautiful...I'm glad and can't wait to finally see the finished product
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release this in India too, i really wanna watch this, as an Indian seeing our neighbour doing soo good in anime now made me emotional somehow, huge love and support to you guysss❤
good to document
Congratulations to everybody!!! Can't wait to see YOUR movie!
All hard work pays off ^·^
Sending lots of kisses and hugs to Pakistan from Spain ♥♥♥
Simply awesome! I am surprised this was developed by Pakistani talent.
Would definitely go to watch and support this young man. ❤
You Won us Usman Riaz You Did It Its Gonna Be a massive hit i can say
Just the word "innocence" juxtaposed with the portrait Usman painted of life growing up in post-9/11 Pakistan brought tears to my eyes. For a child to have their purity snatched away from them by the sheer brutality of conflict - it is enough to rend the soul. No one should ever be subjected to such a heinous crime. Cannot wait to watch this movie and be a blubbering mess through all of it!
Huge fan of Studio Gibli ; as a Pakistani and a anime addict i can tell you one thing ; YOU ROCK mate; beautifully crafted animation
throughout all my life as a anime fan!!! this artwork is super fantastic!! Feeling so proud that this kind of animation is being produced by a Pakistani lad!! literally a decade for this movie is totally hat offs to all the cast and
crew!!
i am desperately waiting to see more anime under mano animations!! Once Again Thankyou to All the crew members of mano animation. Hats off guys!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉
We should speak and protest for this right of youth to the government.May BE OUR voice could BE heared and we should bring some change and creative arts before the world!
Your anime has stolen my heart, Dear Usman Raiz! I'm in a love with the world you've created, the memorable characters, and the incredible storytelling! Please keep weaving this magic and creating more amazing content!😍😍😍😇
I am an animation student in India, I cannot express it in words how happy this has made me. I feel so excited and giddy right now, I just watched the trailer and it is beautiful. I wish you and your team so much success and hope your dreams come true. It is just so magical to see people from countries like ours making such gorgeous animations. I have a dream like yours, to have a studio of my own and make films one day. This is honestly really inspiring, I love being an artist.
Why I’m teary eyed can’t wait to watch all the BT’s episodes and as well the bomb ‘THE GLASSWORKER’ keep on shining Mano 🤩😍🥹🥹🥹😍💕💕💕💕💕
lovely mashallah , eagerly waiting for the release.... "The Glassworker"
Back in 2019 my sister actually told me about Glass Worker. I followed up and saw any means I could become part of it, only if I had any talent for animation wish it gets adapted into a video game, I can contribute in that.
As an anime fans for more than 20 years waiting for it patiently from Nagaland, India 😇
Been following their journey since my college days. Can't believe we are almost at the finish line. Our own Ghibli studio
عثمان بھائی love you 💞
I'm a Pakistani, And I've thought of writing novels. By birth I was always said to be talented for my age (Currently 12)
Although I never found an actual purpose in my life rather then continuing to be this "Gifted Child" who never scored less than a 99%.. Seeing just the trailer of this film. Made me realise what I wanted to do.. I always had vivid, and unreal dreams which I hoped to share with people one day.. Perhaps writing is my way there? Although I'm not all too sure. I want to try at the very least, perhaps it'll take years, and I'm not exactly patient.. But. I feel I'll succeed.. Not with my so called "talent" but with hard work.
I look forward to watching this already amazing film, and it might just change Pakistan itself.. hoping for its 100% success rate, amen.
We all are so proud of you Usman.The way you are showcasing Pakistani's culture and letting the world know who we really are.Your talent is amazing.I support you in your work and as a Pakistani I feel really proud of you.Finally the world would get to know about us that nothing is impossible.Looking forward to your work Usman!❤❤
Thank you so much! I am very grateful. I will keep doing my best.

I love anime!!!!! And to see an anime inspired Pakistani film with a love story is a dream come true!!!!! I'm sooo excitedd!!!!
I'm in tears watching this! So beyond happy that you made this dream into a reality ❤ It's inspiring!✨️
Just goosebumps , being an indian i support you with all my heart great effort , our country should learns these things from you
