Franz Kafka - A Country Doctor Anonymous K
http://www.fapis.com/entry.html?id=11884

A short animation from academy award nominee Koji Yamamura ("Mt. Head" Oscar Nomination 2003, Annecy 2003 Grand Prix) based on famed Jewish-Czech writer Franz Kafka's short prose of the same name from 1919. Story: A hapless country doctor describes with breathless urgency a night-time summons to attend a young patient. Events soon take on a surreal aspect...

The English subs were made by tubesoda, based on an English translation of Kafka's short story. The Japanese dialogue in this short is translated from Kafka's original text; it's a very faithful adaptation. So making English subs from an existing English translation of the text was quite feasible. The Chinese subs are fansubs from http://popgo.net/bbs and they were the basis of timing for the English subs.

Hey AK,
thanks for this awesome anime. Your torrents are always welcome.

I have a question I'd like to ask. Is there any chance, that Caterpillar might reseed his Go Nagai - Abashiri Family torrent? It's just because I'm kind of stuck at 99% plus with three other people. A response would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!

I saw this premiere at the Ottawa Animation Festival Last year. It was absolutely amazing and I believe it may have won best short. /t/ needs more intelligent material on it. And for the Picasso remark ... You are fucking idiot. Get your head out of the freaking trash that is anime. Just because its Japanese doesn't make it anime. Anime is killing Japanese culture and is a vile entity. I suggest you learn some art history too and not be a tard about it either.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought "anime" was short for "animation."

niizk released this, get that version

Though I like niizk, 448MB for a 21 minute video is overkill. Maybe if it was 720p.

God, I watched this movie with Yamamura Koji sitting next to me, when I translated to him on an award ceremony.
I didn t tell him, but his works are utter crap.
I couldn t decide whether it s waste of time or waste of celluloid.....

This does a great job of conveying the mental state of the protagonist.

If you're going 'wtf?' the whole time while you're watching this, just realize that this is an unreliable narrator who's suffering from severe schizophrenic episodes and paranoia. You're seeing what the doctor thinks he's seeing even though it's just a semi-normal house call.

Thanks for the upload!
I thought the short did not do Kafka's story justice though. Too many random eerie movements in the animation. For me, Kefka's stories always started out normal and things progressively become strange. I don't know if that's the general consensus but i think that might have constrasted better.

Yes, I agree. They have chosen the most "abstract" way to express the story and that does not suit the story well, especially in the beginning.

>>258141
it is actually but
but it expresses something which is beyond the story itself; it even could be considered to be kafkas perception of the world
and with that perception with his prejudges the world changes according to these rules

It would probably help to be familiar with Kafka.

Eh, I don't know about that. Metamorphosis and The Trial, for example, both started out with ery strange openings. I haven't read the short story of this, but I thought the surrealism of the animation conveyed Kafka's atmosphere very well.
