Origami Butterfly Stop Motion Video

NTV’s “Surprise Surprise” had a feature last week about Shigeru Okada, creator of some pretty awesome origami stop motion animations, since he has created stop motion videos of origami life of a butterfly...

Here was the original video of Shigeru's Youtube Channel... You should take a look at his other creations such as the sumo wrestling origami! Wish I had the patience of taking a number of photos to create this stop motion video! [Nariomaru YouTube] [JapanProbe]

XxxHolic: Chapter 181

Previously... Watanuki walked thru the shop's gate and entered a black void. Now... Watanuki alone in this blackness is grateful that he realizes it is a dream and only hopes that he didn't fall asleep in an embarrassing place [such as the road]. As he walks he keeps talking to himself and suddenly Yuko appears. She falls down from the black ceiling wrapped in oily tentacles and tells him this is no dream but reality. Watanuki attempts to run to her but barely takes a step before he is stopped. Yuko explains that he can not walk becaue he is not IN the time he moves within. Yuko explains events that were made clear in TRC but make no sense to Watanuki. He becomes upset asking when was a choice made, because he never made one. He then goes on to say the only thing real to him is Yuko and the world he lives in. Yuko wears a surprised look and states "but, I was dead before you were even born.... I was already dead." My POV... I felt that it took months for this chapter to come out! >.< I feel so sorry for Watanuki. He gave up his memories for S. and for the sake of the two worlds but now he resents a choice that he feels was made without his consent. If you have been reading TRC you knew Yuko was dead but when she told Watanuki I admit a shed a few tears. I don't understand how he is in this black void and it not be a dream? What is he doing in Tokyo just standing inside the gate spacing out? With Yuko out the picture what happens when Fei Wong discovers Watanuki? And what a weird way to end the chapter... Yuko tells Watanuki THANK YOU for caring about her. Is this a cultural thing? Because I thought it was pretty obvious that Watanuki loved Yuko.[But not in the GF way- sorry WatYu shippers. ^^]
