NIPPON DIGITAL

Usavich
by Satoshi TOMIOKA

Usavich comes from Usagi meaning rabbit, and the "vich" gives the russian touch. So the Usavichs are two rabbits serving time in a russian prison. The animated short stories are produced for MTV Japan by Kanaban Graphics. We show episodes of the first and second season at the beginning of every NIPPON DIGITAL session.
