random thoughts 2021

By sy or die trying Go To PostI never watched it directly but I know of it due to the god level animation staff that contributed

doesn't Mitsuo Iso have a new anime coming out in 2022?

Yeah, He had to open his own studio and funded the project from his pocket. They are currently recruiting, so maybe they found a studio for publishing deal or something.

Yeah, Dennou Coil was an expensive project due to the level of Animation and detailed scripting. I am sad that nothing hasn't and nothing will come close to that level of animation, even on a movie scale.

Iso, even, warned that the animation level would be toned down for this upcoming next project. on his Twitter!

Really?In terms of animation, I'd put space dandy season 2, mob psycho 100 season 2 above it. Shiit, space dandy only exists as a celebration of incredible animators. Damn near every top tier animator participated on that show.

Both of those are also dream projects with dream staff. Movies too, children of the sea, princess kaguya, Summer wars, the Eva remake movies etc.

it's not like dennuo coil had toshiyuki inoue and takeshi Honda on every episode lol.

Sorry for the late replies

I admit that haven't watched Space Dandy, so I am talking except of that

In terms of animation consistency, length of the project, the level of detail I have yet to see anything that tops Dennou Coil.

Animes, especially these days, are very efficient with their production in terms of great animation. Yes, the ones you mentioned have absolutely incredible animation, but a lot of them use very effective production procedure in order to get those intended. Be it, having incredible animation for percentage of an episode (Mob Psycho, One Pinch Man), decrease the level of detail of the art (Gurran Laggan, Naruto, every bloody Trigger Anime), use repetitive layers in order to achieve high condensed animation frames for certain scenes (Haikyuu, Attack on Titan), Speed up the action through use fewer frames (Darker than Black) or just be full blown movie picture with high budget, albeit have a lower minutes of animation Studio Ghibli, Summer Wars, etc)

All while achieving animation thought digital animation, not hand-drawn cell framing (Macross, Patlabor, etc.)

Denou Coil, never resorted to any of those shortcuts, Hence why the development of the show took 10 years and the budget being reported was higher than any other anime before it (Dunno about moddern anime budget) according the animators and produvtion team (Honda actually worked on it too, he hates talking about his works for Ino)

The characters movement were slow and deliberate, each character had special animation style (so no character animation frames was re-used), There were certain scenes where the characters had to use futuristic googles, which appeared otherworldly monsters to be visible. Those monsters had to be drawn layered for their animation frames in order for them to appear ''3D like). The animation style were consistent throughout.

Add to the fact that it was a whole series of 26 episode, all done at the same times, its bloody impressive project.

It wasn't efficient, probably idiotic but bloody hell is it incredible to watch fluid animation consistently through and through while having great story and plots.
