The official website for Studio Ponoc’s three-part anime anthology film Modest Heroes “Life Ain’t Gonna Lose” (“Samurai Egg”), “Kanini & Kanino” (“Kani no Kanino”), and “Invisible” (“Tōmei Ningen”).
Studio Ponoc describes the shorts as “tales of modest heroes of our times.”
Modest Heroes will open on August 24 as the first volume of Ponoc Short Films Theatre (Ponoc Tanpen Gekijō), an anthology of anime shorts divided into volumes with different themes.
Akihiko Yamashita’s “Invisible” (“Tōmei Ningen”) is a 14-minute “action spectacle” that centers on the lonely struggle of one invisible man.
