Brickime

Brickime is a broad subgenre of Brickfilm that utilise the writing style and themes of Japanese Anime.

Nattodesu was the first of such Brickfilms, created by Aaron Good.

History
Development of the Brickime style began in early 2014 with the writing of Nattodesu. Nattodesu writer and

creator Aaron Good began writing the script as a test for himself, as an admirer of Anime, he was a fan of the concise way they managed to tell such large stories. Particularly how they set up entire universes in short twenty minute first episodes. Aaron considered his own recent attempts at writing original content to be overly complicated and long-winded, so began writing Demon's Desire. His aim was to set up his universe without actually explaining anything, which he believed he did really well, so produced the film.

Following this, Nattodesu producer Jimmy Perez began development on his own series, Operation: Anarchy. Inspired by both the production of Nattodesu and Anime as a whole, the pilot episode was released, and now a full series is in the making.

After this members of Brickfilming collective Brick Galaxy began to plan Brickime series in earnest. Some went unproduced, others flourished and are nearing completion, such as Scott Sherrard's Metal Brigade.
