Takena Nagao created the splendid stop-motion gore-fest "Chainsaw Maid." We loved it, and apparently 3 million others did as well (according to the hit count on Youtube).
Recently, we came across a Fan-made sequel (Chainsaw Maid 2) created by Lee Hardcastle. "Chainsaw Maid 2" is a wonderful splatter "buffet" and a great homage to the original.
We spoke with Takena, and got his reaction after watching, what must have been a true labor of love, "Chainsaw Maid 2". You can also read our first interview with Takena, regarding HIS creation: "Chainsaw Maid #1) Here's our discussion with Takena about "Chainsaw Maid 2":
What are your first thoughts after viewing the video?
I was totally amazed, confused and excited. What is it ? Who made this
extremely cool film!?
Are you you happy or un-happy with this video (Chainsaw Maid 2)?
Of course happy!
Tell us what you like about it?
I liked that the characters and sets are recreated well in detail and
the film-maker paid homage to the original. And actions and
cameraworks are so great. Character modeling seems rough, but the flim
is filled with energy.
>What are your feelings about Fan-based video? Not everyone get's them!!!!
I'm very honored and pleased. It's really great that people who liked
my films make another exciting gore film!
>Do you have anything in the works that we should know about? Do you have a Chainsaw Maid 2 in the works?
My first DVD was released recently in Japan and this includes my
newest film, CHAINSAW MAID episode zero. It's a prequel to CHAINSAW
MAID. In this film, the great-great-grandmother of Chainsaw Maid is
the main character, and so the period is set in older days. I also
took on the challenge of changing the face of the doll to reflect
Japanese TV anime style. Of course the film is filled with much more
blood!
And also I want to make my own '2' (or 3 ?) someday !
If you could send one message to the developer of this video (Chainsaw Maid 2) what would it be?
Thank you very much!

I wish Chainsaw Maid develops into a claymation web series with many episodes. That would have been awesome!
I agree!
Hi
my name is gianpaolo faelli
As Takena fan and as challenger I tried to make this 「WITHIN THE BLOODY WOODS part 3」.
http://www.youtube.com/user/takena
From many years ago I played as kickboxer -muay thaiboxer so like the challenge.

Of course my stop motion and clay animation skills are still too much poor, so this work cannot be compared to Takena's one.
Dear Takena, please excuse me! I just wanted to test my skills.
At the end I want to say thank you to everyone who supported me in this work: Nikuro, who explained me a lot of stop animation technique,
This is my stopmotion video
