By HottestGrapes Go To PostI started watching it on my phone at work, turned it off at that alien abduction scene. Ain’t no way I’m explaining all that to anyone catching a glimpse over my shoulder.

Should be incredible off the strength of the staff alone. Will be directed by Megumi Ishitani( 1015/957/982) and animation led by Masami Mori(arguably the best animator on the series). Their last collaboration was the 26th opening(best in the series by far)

By Laboured Go To PostOh yeah so I actually finished Attack on Titan.

So while I maintain that S1 and parts of S2 are not gud, that show really fucking pulls through hard in seasons 3 and 4. That is one hell of a glow-up and conclusion. Bravo.

By C4-621 Go To PostLmao you know what now I'm gonna watch it


Love the English voices in Ghost in the Shell Standalone Complex. The filler episodes are kind of meh because there isn't much time really to explore anything in 20 mins

By s y brev Go To PostBlue Lock is legit terrible. Don't believe the lies.

By Elchele Go To PostFinished Hunter x Hunter. Last Arc was great (except for the first episodes).

Started watching DB Daima. Meh.

any recommendations on a feel good anime? Watched Delicious Dungeon and loved it.

I worked on the second episode of Blue Lock, and I will tell you why its animation was so bad. Several months ago, I started working on Blue Lock season 2. One in which I would work not only on 1 episode or 2 or 3, but rather 5 episodes. I started working on the second episode, in which I had to take charge of approximately 20 cuts, animating these scenes from scratch, that is, layout.

But curiously, the problems didn’t start at this point. I'm sure that not only me but also all the animators who worked on this episode didn't do the job that ended up being the final result. Despite the low payment and short time we were given, we did the best we could.

“The problems came after the production was tight with their schedule, and they decided to remove many of the resources that were used for the animation. Many of my animations were capped in the final version. Basically, they eliminated all the movement, some frames, or they just made them differently. But the fault doesn't lie in the one that came after me, since they probably did all they could with the short time they had.

These problems, just like in Jujutsu Kaisen in the past or in the vast majority of animes, are a result of the production committee of certain animes that take projects just thinking about the money and not the condition of its workers. And it's because of this that I didn't work on any more episodes of Blue Lock. Once I finished working on the second episode, I decided to get out, and as I thought, the final result ended up being disastrous. This made it a job that I'm not proud to upload.

By Elchele Go To Postwhat is this and why should I watch it

By s y Go To Postit is truly a love letter to anyone who has tried to create anything or hone their craft. It is also incredibly well animated(with over half of it animated solely by the director) and even the unorthodox way the animation itself is treated through preserving the key animators rough work/construction lines also serves as a celebration of human artistry. There is an interview with Oshiyama(dir) after the credits that is well worth the wait. Fuck ai.

This is a fantastic write up: https://blog.sakugabooru.com/2024/06/13/look-back-an-exceptional-production-to-embrace-the-paradox-of-the-artist-annecy-2024/

Instead, and right upon the public announcement of this work, word came from their team about their attempts to convey the lines of the key animators exactly as they were. In Oshiyama’s view (and many others), the traditional process of tracing their art for inbetweening purposes tends to lead to a loss of nuance; and, with the industry further fragmenting each step of the animation process, those losses of intent and personality pile up. What was once bearable because of the smaller teams is now a constant blurring of the initial vision. Through a nearly direct presentation of the original artist’s lines and by deliberately limiting the number of animators—which meant drawing half of the key animation for the film himself and leaving the rest up to very skillful individuals—Oshiyama is challenging all the industry trends he found bothersome and unfulfilling.
