Anime: H.P. Lovecraft no Dunwich Horror

This is a collection of 3 stories from the influential horror author, H.P. Lovecraft, namely The Dunwich Horror, The Picture in the House and The Festival. Done in claymation, and directed by Shinagawa Ryo as part of the Ga-nime series. Ga-nime (画ニメ), a portmanteau of "illustration" (画) and "anime", is a relatively recent trend in Japanese animation to create highly aesthetic short anime films using non-traditional animation techniques, often directed by artists who have limited involvement with the anime industry. Typically, these films will utilize a series of illustrations accompanied by voice acting and music, with the only motion provided by extremely simplified limited animation, computer animation, camera movements such as panning and zooming, or stop-motion animation. They are generally produced by only a handful of staff members, with the director often writing, illustrating, or even scoring the piece themselves. Since 2006, Toei Animation has produced several Ga-nime, directed by various notable artists, including Amano Yoshitaka and Amemiya Keita, on a variety of subjects ranging from original stories to adaptations of the works of Dazai Osamu, Hagiwara Sakutarou, and H. P. Lovecraft.
