@@solarydays You know that creative works can take inspiration from other creative works, right? This doesn't come across to me as a rip-off so much as a loving tribute to Studio Ghibli animation. Its not like they're hiding Miyazaki's influence here.

@@kibathefang6022 Absolutely, but as I saw in the behind the scenes 12-part series for The GlassWorker, the traditional animation was done with digital pen and pad. So the hand-done technique is still there, the digital pen and editing just makes the process a little easier.

Is this, an indie film? I’ve never heard of Mano studios? I’m asking because I’ve noticed indie animation has been going through a renaissance since the beginning of the decade.
@@sakibush But I think we can agree they did the best they could with the studio's resources. I would give it a try, I really want to be surprised. I like the concept enough to hope the script will compensate for technical short downs. When people compare this with ghibli, I don't think they're actually saying "it's at the same level artistically and technically". I think it's more like "it feels similar to those aesthetics, concepts and scripts I loved from that other studio". People miss so much the old works from Ghibli that they want to expect something new but, at the same time, similar to those experiences.
Ikr, I'm waiting for it!! It looks so cool but it makes me sad that people are still fighting here in comment section when the whole trailer shows that fight ruined the mc's life 💔
And here I thought Japan would be the only remaining source of 2D animation. Please continue your work for years to come, Mano, it would be beyond beautiful to see Pakistan to be another lead in the animation industry

The QUALITY!!!!!! I'm going to bring my entire family to the theater and watch it infinitely more times with my friends. You guys deserve the support and so much more.
Pakistan has produced its first 2D hand-drawn movie, showcasing exceptional quality. Usman Riaz has set a new standard for animation in the country, drawing inspiration from Hayao Miyazaki.
I didn't even know this was in the works in Pakistan. This is honestly beyond anything I could have ever expected from the Pakistani Film Industry. We clearly have very capable people here but country just won't support this industry.
Studio might be in Pakistan but there is nothing Pakistani about it, the women are not Muslims, the cast are all Western people and the girl is not all covered up.
@@kaneidareyue7715 And you think that is what defines a movie bieng Pakistani? Have you seen movies like Ye Jawani Phir Nahin Ani. Extremely vulgar films. Do you consider them Pakistani? The Western cast is for the English Dub. The Urdu dub will be done with a Pakistani cast. In the end this is a movie made by Pakistani's in Pakistan. It is by definition a Pakistani movie.
@@kingkiller5325 Most films from their country depicts their own people. Pakistani depicting Western people in Anime from another world is kind of strange, its almost as if they are crying escapism. Even Japanese anime or Chinese anime still have hints of their culture in their storyline and characters. There is none in this Anime which I suspect must be possible self-hatred for their own culture and people, or the story was originally from a non-pakistani person but just made in Pakistan.
@@kaneidareyue7715 The idea of countries depicting their own people in movies has never strictly been true for Animated movies. And this has been doubly true for Fantasy movies that are not based on or in any one specific culture. Look at Disney's Animated movies. Pinocchio is based in Italy. Snow White in Germany. Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast both in France. And Alladin in Middle East/Persia. Despite the fact that all of these movies were made in USA and by USA. This movie is not depicting western people because it's a Fantasy movie. Not based on a real country. It's depiction seem Western because it's heavily inspired by Studio Ghibli films which also have western friendly depictions. Also ofcourse this animated movie is the ultimate form of escapism. It's not meant to nor is it obligated to depict life in Pakistan. It's not self hatred. Otherwise like I said you would have to agrue that movies like Alladin were results of Self Hatred for people over at Disney. Avatar The Last Airbender was a result of Self Hatred for people over at Nick. And Animes like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and Attack on Titan which do not have a singular depiction of Japanese characters or Japanese Culture and are almost exclusively based in depiction of Germanic characters, Germanic culture and Germanic architecture are also a result of self hatred by the Japanese. Lastly while the main characters are indeed western. The movie does indeed depict the common people to be very close to Pakistani's in their culture through depiction of traditional Pakistani clothing and Food. It's in the trailer and has been confirmed otherwise. One could argue that it's a fictionalized Fantastical depiction of the Colonial Era Pakistan/India when the Military Higher Ups still largely if not entirely comprised of Englishmen.
@@kaneidareyue7715 If you did not see "hints of our culture" in this trailer then you are just spouting BS. I am a Pakistani and I saw the "hints". The story is by Usman Riaz, who is a Pakistani. The disputed territory reference is about the disputed territory in Kashmir which is disputed between India and Pakistan. The whole concept of "Jinn" that you saw in the trailer is an Islamic concept, which, take a guess where it's the predominant religion and a major part of the culture? Hint: The answer is Pakistan. Take your stupid assumptions and shove em cuz its people like you who are there to be offended for the sake of being offended.
@@eijentwun5509 White people make productions about others, so do the japanese and everyone else. We’re all human and can be inspired by different cultures and historical settings and that variety is what makes us great
What I love more about this splendid animation for Mano Studios is how the people from South Asia came together with love and support for a neighbouring country ❤ Bravo Neighbours from 🇵🇰
I went to cinema and watched it. The realization hit hard when i realize that i wasnt watching a ghibli studio's movie. It was amazing, totally worth the money. It had perfect amount of reality and fantasy. Totally mind blowing. The message was delivered really beautifully. Its amazing
That’s surprising that they (in Pakistan) would make a film with girls not needing to cover their heads? It’s too bad that this one amazing animated film won’t be enough to get rid of all of the religious extremism, intolerance, and violence within Pakistan, and the entire subcontinent.
I understand the concern but they're not like Twitter peeps lol, there might be extremist about not wearing hijab but there might be a different version or something @@jmwilliamsart
Wait..... WHAT??!!! how is it the first time i am seeing this? This undoubtedly looks like a passion project, curated with years of hardwork; for this to be your first ever project and WITH THIS LEVEL OF QUALITY... Astonishment would be an understatement. To think that the medium of anime that i so adore, could have a counterpart in my own homeland, a homeland that has only disappointed in the past few years, this i swear has to be one of the few things recently, that has made me proud to be a Pakistani! I plead that you only learn from this project no matter how well it might do, and continue making such productions, in hopes of inspiring the future generations of Pakistan to persue this medium, blossoming into a prosperous and flourishing animation industry! I pray for your eminent success! Cheers!
جتنی بھی تعریف کی جائے وہ کم ہوگی۔ اس کی قدر صحیح معنوں میں وہی کر سکتا ہے، جو اس ہنر کو خود جانتا ہو۔ دعا ہے کی یہ کاوش کامیابیاں سمیٹے خوب ساری اور پاکستان کا نام روشن کرے۔ آمین۔ شکریہ۔
It's a testament to all those who do high schools in Pakistan, venture into their opportunities Abroad and never look back to give more to the place they belong. Usman, you have to trek a long way ahead. You made us motivated and proud to bring crazy things even living in Pakistan. I hope it will succeed in a way that your studio never hunches for any "slice money" from investors.
It's not the first piece of art to do so, but seeing as wars keep happening, artists like this will clearly just have to keep making them until everyone gets the message 😅
@@alexlyster3459 Yeah, I do realise that. But since the whole of subcontinent seems to be infested with a culture of military worship and glorification of weapons (that can cause mass destruction), it's pretty hard to find voices like these. The mainstream movies that cover war here, tend to glorify it rather than dismantling the hero system. I'm especially impressed, since this movie not only showcases technical brilliance but also tries to speak truth to power.
@yashanim Oh absolutely! I was just pointing out how somewhat depressing it is that we need to keep on making these films, precisely because there are so few of those voices.
I grew up in the early 2000s the middle of the Disney renaissance, and a time where 2d animation in the west, while at its peak, was dying/being abandoned. Seeing this trailer, made me feel like a kid again. Thank you in advance for such a visually beautiful story. I eagerly await its release.
Looks beautiful! Congratulations to the artists and animators of Pakistan who worked on this, and to the Pakistan animation industry for making a 2D animated film!
This is Crazy Production from Pakistani People. OMG, this looks like a pro pro pro level movie. Great Job. No words can justify your 10 years of hardwork
This trailer is a reminder of what a magnificent art form hand drawn animation is, and what can be made with it. Hopefully the film gets international publication as well, I'd love to see it.

The creators of this animated film are more true Ghibli Studio successors than Studio Ponoc, in my opinion. I have yet to see any other animation studio that can recapture the feel of Miyazaki's most famous works. Can't wait to see any future works of Mano Animation Studios :)

I mean it looks like a Japanese anime but it's actually Pakistani speaking as a Pakistani-American.
You must be blind if you think this bad rip off is a Ghibli movie.
@@shizukagozen777 No. It's probably just him impressed at the quality of this film and how much it resembles the works of Studio Ghibli.
@@nathanmalik7056
But the quality is shit, that's the problem. It looks nothing like a Ghibli, the art style is vaguely a poor imitation but that's it.
@@shizukagozen777 It's not perfect but it not necessarily terrible.
Proud to see Pakistan take its first major step when it comes to 2-D animation. Never thought i'd see the day. And it looks incredible too!
2d is wayyy better than CGI 3d
I can't believe that it's really Pakistan creating this amazing movie 😊
But why Caucasian characters?
@@suezcontours6653 why not ? I see that he takes a lot of visual inspiration from Hayao Miyazaki (studio Ghibli) who also loves using caucasian characters for this tale . I see other visual references like the 1990 "the nutcracker prince" cartoon . He seems to like the same type of universe and characters and there's nothing wrong with that , artists should not be limited or feel obligated by DEI "diversity" requirements.
and ps : pakistani people can have gree eyes or red hair so those charactes could also be pakistani , just compare with real stock footage of pakistani people with these traits .
@@eglantinepapeau1582 Hayao Miyazaki characters ARE Asian. When they are Caucasians, they make it clear and distinct. But the story is ABOUT the Asian protagonist.
@@eglantinepapeau1582funny how they ask that question and you bring up DEI first.
@@sugarzblossom8168 funny how i wrote a paragraph praising the author's visual references and you're only focusing on the DEI part 🤷♀i answered the question , i said those characters could be pakistani since there are pakistani ppl with red hair or green eyes .
Love this style of animation.
And love for Pakistan from China.

It's so amazing, I can't thought that it made by Pakistani anime. Love FROM BANGLADESH 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
This movie is Pakistani instead of Japanese, Wonderful. if this film is a success perhaps Mano Animation Studios will make more.
Can't be Pakistani, the people are not Muslim and the women are not covered up in burqas.
We can clearly see it's not Japanese considering how bad it looks like...

Thanks Usman Riaz Sir and Pakistan ❤🇧🇩
Pakistan has produced its first 2D hand-drawn movie, showcasing exceptional quality. Usman Riaz has set a new standard for animation in the country, drawing inspiration from Hayao Miyazaki.
Internationally too, probably 🩵
we need more hand drawn animations like this back!
I didn't even know this was in the works in Pakistan.
This is honestly beyond anything I could have ever expected from the Pakistani Film Industry.
We clearly have very capable people here but country just won't support this industry.
Studio might be in Pakistan but there is nothing Pakistani about it, the women are not Muslims, the cast are all Western people and the girl is not all covered up.
@@kaneidareyue7715 And you think that is what defines a movie bieng Pakistani?
Have you seen movies like Ye Jawani Phir Nahin Ani. Extremely vulgar films.
Do you consider them Pakistani?
The Western cast is for the English Dub. The Urdu dub will be done with a Pakistani cast.
In the end this is a movie made by Pakistani's in Pakistan.
It is by definition a Pakistani movie.
@@kingkiller5325 Most films from their country depicts their own people. Pakistani depicting Western people in Anime from another world is kind of strange, its almost as if they are crying escapism. Even Japanese anime or Chinese anime still have hints of their culture in their storyline and characters. There is none in this Anime which I suspect must be possible self-hatred for their own culture and people, or the story was originally from a non-pakistani person but just made in Pakistan.
@@kaneidareyue7715 The idea of countries depicting their own people in movies has never strictly been true for Animated movies.
And this has been doubly true for Fantasy movies that are not based on or in any one specific culture.
Look at Disney's Animated movies. Pinocchio is based in Italy.
Snow White in Germany.
Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast both in France.
And Alladin in Middle East/Persia.
Despite the fact that all of these movies were made in USA and by USA.
This movie is not depicting western people because it's a Fantasy movie. Not based on a real country.
It's depiction seem Western because it's heavily inspired by Studio Ghibli films which also have western friendly depictions.
Also ofcourse this animated movie is the ultimate form of escapism. It's not meant to nor is it obligated to depict life in Pakistan.
It's not self hatred. Otherwise like I said you would have to agrue that movies like Alladin were results of Self Hatred for people over at Disney.
Avatar The Last Airbender was a result of Self Hatred for people over at Nick.
And Animes like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and Attack on Titan which do not have a singular depiction of Japanese characters or Japanese Culture and are almost exclusively based in depiction of Germanic characters, Germanic culture and Germanic architecture are also a result of self hatred by the Japanese.
Lastly while the main characters are indeed western. The movie does indeed depict the common people to be very close to Pakistani's in their culture through depiction of traditional Pakistani clothing and Food.
It's in the trailer and has been confirmed otherwise.
One could argue that it's a fictionalized Fantastical depiction of the Colonial Era Pakistan/India when the Military Higher Ups still largely if not entirely comprised of Englishmen.
@@kaneidareyue7715 If you did not see "hints of our culture" in this trailer then you are just spouting BS. I am a Pakistani and I saw the "hints". The story is by Usman Riaz, who is a Pakistani. The disputed territory reference is about the disputed territory in Kashmir which is disputed between India and Pakistan. The whole concept of "Jinn" that you saw in the trailer is an Islamic concept, which, take a guess where it's the predominant religion and a major part of the culture? Hint: The answer is Pakistan.
Take your stupid assumptions and shove em cuz its people like you who are there to be offended for the sake of being offended.
Hope they get an Oscar nominations next year
Even better if they win!
Yep
FR like the visuals in this movie look like Ghibli
They enter in Oscar nominations now
They got one
I can't believe this animated movie from pakistan love from 🇮🇳
Pakistani? then why is it about White people?
@MmuushMaann Usually nothing, but seems like Pakistani Propaganda to entice American sympathy
@@eijentwun5509 White people make productions about others, so do the japanese and everyone else. We’re all human and can be inspired by different cultures and historical settings and that variety is what makes us great
Its drawn there but the authors and original writers are definitely not from Pakistan or at least trying to depict Pakistan culture.
@@kaneidareyue7715 authors, writers, and animators are from Pakistan. Only for English dubbing they have used others artists
I dreamed of a day when art like this would be made here
You guys should be proud!
@@nickthepick8043We sure are buddy!
I always wanted Pakistan to have better television shows and movies, finally its happening, thanks to you guys
What I love more about this splendid animation for Mano Studios is how the people from South Asia came together with love and support for a neighbouring country ❤ Bravo Neighbours from 🇵🇰
Respect for Pakistani Animation industry 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈
Wdym that's clearly decreasing
I'm from India and I'm so damn happy that our people who look like us have created something so international and so damn good... proud of you guys 🙌🙏
Love from pakistan yes we are same people ❤❤
It is huge sucsess. پیشگی congratulation pakistan کاونز ایوارڑ انشاء اللہ آمین
I went to cinema and watched it. The realization hit hard when i realize that i wasnt watching a ghibli studio's movie. It was amazing, totally worth the money. It had perfect amount of reality and fantasy. Totally mind blowing. The message was delivered really beautifully. Its amazing
I’m honored and grateful. Thank you very much.

The first hand-dawn animated movie by Pakistan I'm so excited 😭😭😭😭
This trailer has captured my heart. Our country is embarking on an exciting hand-drawn animation journey with a fantastic debut.
That’s surprising that they (in Pakistan) would make a film with girls not needing to cover their heads? It’s too bad that this one amazing animated film won’t be enough to get rid of all of the religious extremism, intolerance, and violence within Pakistan, and the entire subcontinent.
Watch cartoon network every weekend 12pm then U know is it story the movie also be like cartoon not anime
I understand the concern but they're not like Twitter peeps lol, there might be extremist about not wearing hijab but there might be a different version or something @@jmwilliamsart
@@Prncgr8cartoons and anime are the same thing though.
Beautiful! I hope this gets a Blu-ray release in North America!!
wdym by that?
@@hamix0137 Just that I hope it gets released on home video around the world so all different audiences can enjoy it.
Wait..... WHAT??!!! how is it the first time i am seeing this? This undoubtedly looks like a passion project, curated with years of hardwork; for this to be your first ever project and WITH THIS LEVEL OF QUALITY... Astonishment would be an understatement. To think that the medium of anime that i so adore, could have a counterpart in my own homeland, a homeland that has only disappointed in the past few years, this i swear has to be one of the few things recently, that has made me proud to be a Pakistani!
I plead that you only learn from this project no matter how well it might do, and continue making such productions, in hopes of inspiring the future generations of Pakistan to persue this medium, blossoming into a prosperous and flourishing animation industry!
I pray for your eminent success! Cheers!
Great Job Pakistan! Maybe this will become your soft power which you can export to the world. Love from your neighboring country India.
جتنی بھی تعریف کی جائے وہ کم ہوگی۔ اس کی قدر صحیح معنوں میں وہی کر سکتا ہے، جو اس ہنر کو خود جانتا ہو۔ دعا ہے کی یہ کاوش کامیابیاں سمیٹے خوب ساری اور پاکستان کا نام روشن کرے۔ آمین۔ شکریہ۔
"Without art and music, what we have had in this world is conflict"- a beautiful phrase I have listened to so far in this era.
It's a testament to all those who do high schools in Pakistan, venture into their opportunities Abroad and never look back to give more to the place they belong. Usman, you have to trek a long way ahead. You made us motivated and proud to bring crazy things even living in Pakistan. I hope it will succeed in a way that your studio never hunches for any "slice money" from investors.
It's truly great to see a piece of art that exposes war for what it truly is under the thinly disguised layer of jingoistic platitudes: "idiocy."
It's not the first piece of art to do so, but seeing as wars keep happening, artists like this will clearly just have to keep making them until everyone gets the message 😅
@@alexlyster3459 Yeah, I do realise that. But since the whole of subcontinent seems to be infested with a culture of military worship and glorification of weapons (that can cause mass destruction), it's pretty hard to find voices like these. The mainstream movies that cover war here, tend to glorify it rather than dismantling the hero system. I'm especially impressed, since this movie not only showcases technical brilliance but also tries to speak truth to power.
@yashanim Oh absolutely! I was just pointing out how somewhat depressing it is that we need to keep on making these films, precisely because there are so few of those voices.
As an Indian i bless this work its really deserve appreciation great work mano studio best luck for future work❤
I grew up in the early 2000s the middle of the Disney renaissance, and a time where 2d animation in the west, while at its peak, was dying/being abandoned. Seeing this trailer, made me feel like a kid again. Thank you in advance for such a visually beautiful story. I eagerly await its release.
This movie was brilliant. Watched it both in engliah and urdu. Truly a masterpiece!!! 10/10.
If Pakistan can create this beauty, then so can anyone in any country
All it takes is hard work, determination, and passion❤
This is just awesome!
Animation is just top notch!
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩💝🇵🇰
Looks beautiful! Congratulations to the artists and animators of Pakistan who worked on this, and to the Pakistan animation industry for making a 2D animated film!
This is Crazy Production from Pakistani People. OMG, this looks like a pro pro pro level movie. Great Job. No words can justify your 10 years of hardwork
This trailer is a reminder of what a magnificent art form hand drawn animation is, and what can be made with it. Hopefully the film gets international publication as well, I'd love to see it.

This might be the biggest comeback in the history of the Pakistani movie industry, heck I might even say in the entire animation industry
I've started hyping up the entirety of Pakistan for this (why no reply 😭)
I don't think it will have an impact on the entire animation industry, as there are much better works from Japan and Korea.
But if you are talking about Pakistan then it might be able to inspire similar films in the future
As an Indian, it should be highly appreciated 👏👏👏👏👏😊❤❤

The creators of this animated film are more true Ghibli Studio successors than Studio Ponoc, in my opinion. I have yet to see any other animation studio that can recapture the feel of Miyazaki's most famous works. Can't wait to see any future works of Mano Animation Studios :)
