His work is hella hard to find with a name like Mr.

[@samurairobotics]

Type mister yanen on google or anime mr art, etc

[@kiltacular280]

People are forgetting Mr. isnt just an “anime artist”. He has an education and background in art and utilizes his background in art to portray these amazing scenes of nostalgia, everyday, dreams, and desires 😅 in such a unique and beautiful way.

Just bought a piece of his. Love his work, been an anime fan since 2007 and his work seems so nostalgic but fresh.

Isn't this the guy who was portrayed as a psychopath in another video because of his childhood and art style?
I imagine that they mean fine art as something worth showcasing in a gallery instead of "mainstream media". Still, pretty, pretty cool.

[@creathechiboi]

Anime is art

So anime was not fine art when Akira came out?

[@samurairobotics]

[@bacht4799]

Sarah but still a animated movie so it’s still counts as a anime ..

[@SyrianSoaper]

disney is animated and doesnt count as anime, anime traditionally is japanimation japanese animation japanime. its the style of art that makes it anime.

[@SyrianSoaper]

other countries have made anime at this point but again, traditionally its a style from japan
