So here’s a rarity, quite possibly a first even – I caught the animated short POST HUMAN during Fantastic Fest last week and it pretty much knocked me on my ass.

I first encountered PostHuman at the 2012 Fantastic Fest film festival as part of their many shorts programs. Well, actually I met it on my laptop when I got some PR-related emails from the producer with links to watch it on a private Vimeo channel a few weeks before Fantastic Fest. This was, of course […]

This widely appealing American action anime is an absolute gem that will impress anime fans who love popular and seminal properties like Cowboy Bebop, Akira and Aeon Flux. PostHuman is a stylish 6 minute sci-fi rescue mission that is just WOW up, down and sideways. Fast-paced is an understatement as PostHuman picks up speed and never looks back. Rest assured, though short this is […]

I must confess, I’ve seen this short quite a few times before and after the festival. I like the modern anime-inspired style. Part of the reason why I dig this short so much is that you feel like you’re watching a random episode or section of a larger body of work. The world building was […]

While researching PostHuman on the internet I ran into a ton of movies/web series all bearing the same name and I thought, that must be frustrating as a filmmaker.

Daily Anime: “PostHuman” Cartoon Looks Like a 6-Minute Orgasm for Otakus (NSFW) Despite its short length, the 6-minute film “PostHuman” — a sci fi mini-epic brought to the masses by Humoring the Fates Animation Studio – looks all kinds of kick-ass. Maybe that’s because the short looks to be in the vein of Spriggan and some of […]

Get “PostHuman” Tomorrow Night “PostHuman” is a locally produced animated short film. In its five-minute runtime, it brings to mind Aeon Flux* and Akira. These are good influences for a movie to claim, and “PostHuman” makes the most of them. It’s getting hard to discern a difference between animation and live-action, anymore (the best part […]
