A l'occasion de la campagne Kickstarter lancée cette semaine (et déjà un succès) pour l'édition en bluray de la série Oban Star-Racers, j'ai publié aujourd'hui un thread Twitter avec des souvenirs persos.
Car Oban & Molly font partie de mon background perso et pro depuis le tout premier pilote sorti en 2001 <3
[THREAD] To celebrate the launch of "Oban Star-Racers" 15th Anniversary Bluray campaign on Kickstarter, I share some memories about this french/japanese series.https://t.co/mLXLO3CxAZ pic.twitter.com/fVvsxBYO8Z

Back in 2001, Sav! The World released "Molly Star Racer" pilot (hosted on Catsuka, among other places). Many fans fell in love with this CG animated (at this time) french series project, created by @EiffelSavin with @Thomasintokyo & @BrunetStanislas.https://t.co/3Y2BRwLTcX pic.twitter.com/RIDda0d6eX

In June 2002, in collaboration with Sav! The World, I launched a Molly Star Racer fansite, which is still online ;-] https://t.co/hf2BdsvNCa pic.twitter.com/IaZGxehioV

In December 2002, @Thomasintokyo (co-director / artistic director of Oban) offered me a lovely present : a Molly fanart with huge Koji Morimoto vibes (because Thomas and I were already huge Morimoto fans).https://t.co/ycUn7TFWnJ pic.twitter.com/54RWeYkmZW

"Molly Star Racer" became "Oban Star-Racers", a french/japanese project. Between 2004/2005 on my Molly fansite, I published behind-the-scenes contents and notes written by Oban staff who was working in Japan at this time.https://t.co/TiJr7OUMq9 pic.twitter.com/Os0txXY8zJ

During the production in Japan, Oban staff and especially @Thomasintokyo also shared a lot of informations on my Catsuka boards, in a thread called "Molly in Tokyo".https://t.co/mbiztygNjo pic.twitter.com/RzhcRHwMMF

On December 2005, the first official trailer of Oban Star-Racers was released on Sav! The World & Catsuka websites.

My old special page is also still online ;-]https://t.co/C35NEBjuYV pic.twitter.com/af47IfD7Cj
On December 2005, I also published on Catsuka a video featuring Savin Yeatman Eiffel presenting the series to professionals during MIPCOM festival (Cannes, France).https://t.co/5puwa1JSTI pic.twitter.com/42aOOKo02L

In 2006, I was the curator of Oban-Star Racers official exhibition which took place in many french festivals (Animasia, Japan Expo with @PADnobi, Epitanime, La Fête de l'Anim de Lille). https://t.co/etSxrrg6fOhttps://t.co/0e7erP4x2b pic.twitter.com/542brt20IY

Note : From 2002 to 2006, I was the webmaster of Sav! The World (the french company created by Savin Yeatman Eiffel, who produced Oban) ;-phttps://t.co/ZQ6amTPSzd pic.twitter.com/t5NWqndmTI

Fun fact : 1 year before the broadcast of the series, I found on auction of a batch of Oban production artworks including designs, backgrounds & storyboards of episodes 20 & 21. I talked about that to Savin, and in order to avoid any spoil, I decided to buy these items ;-] pic.twitter.com/UhDEYddgiP

On April 2006, the opening of Oban Star-Racers was released in a special version featuring both japanese & french songs (composed by Yoko Kanno).https://t.co/WUCndeb6BU pic.twitter.com/fvFq4vutKr

It was quite a challenge to produce a western serialized animated series at that time.
Thank you to @EiffelSavin @Thomasintokyo @BrunetStanislas & all the people who made this lovely show.
I hope that Molly will have another chance to shine ♥ pic.twitter.com/wfh11SJo5p
So if you love Oban, don't forget to support @EiffelSavin on Kickstarter to make the 15th Anniversary Bluray of the series. The success of this campaign will also help him to incite partners to make Oban Star-Racers 2 !https://t.co/mLXLO3CxAZ pic.twitter.com/YVzyE0ILz7
