Appreciate animation pls

>>707
He never mentioned Birdy Decode in that interview. He just said Birdy and unless someone can prove otherwise I assume he was talking about the old OVA.

>>721
Yeah, I don't know if you've seen the old one, but the action in the old one reaaaally isn't similar to Decode.

Studio khara with some CG work in the promo for "Genie STATION" mobile game

Without trolling and studios war, this thread is boring as hell...

>>724
CGI sure is becoming more popular...

OP#OVA1 - Yutaka Nakamura [中村豊]?

A rare non-action scene from Yutapon

>>724

Is that entirely CG? The character animation is kinda confusing, it looks hand drawn in some cuts. Pretty cool but nothing too impressive regardless.

>>728

If anything convinced me Ben has shit taste in anime, it's these last two editorials.  He just likes cartoony stuff. Meh...

>>730

I'm more impressed how he can say nothing with so many words.
Basicaly just putting so many adjectives together as possible.

I wish bloggers would stay more on technical aspects of animations and not trying to be art critics.

>>730

Ben has shit taste in anime

Please, try harder with the trolling.
How can you even say something like this to someone who is the pioneer of sakuga blogging?


>>731
Stay on /a/ and keep reading shitposts.

>>727
wow that was pretty impressive character animation, the lip synch was so cool and the character motion felt so dynamic.

One of the best One Piece animations imo, even better than the character acting scenes in Hosoda's OP.

This was not typical Yutapon but it was awesome!

>>732
How can you even say something like this to someone who is the pioneer of sakuga blogging?

And how does that have anything to do with having or not having shit taste?
Sakuga doesn't exist in shit anime?

>>732

stay classy

Hey there sock-puppet!

People are still thinking these threads are better than /a/? That's some pretty misguided elitism.

example:
The animation is nothing less than a supreme delight from start to finish. Drawn with rough and quick pencil lines with the calm confidence of a master's hand, the characters are full of life at every moment, their expressions vivid and their movements heightened with imaginative flourishes. Every line is visible, and lines do not play within the shapes. In the climactic wrestling scene, the characters transform into a mess of squiggles as they twirl around one another and the camera swirls around in response. Scenes segue into other scenes deftly, creating an irresistible flow that takes you through to the end. At no point does the animation feel like it is struggling technically to convince you of something beyond the animators' capabilities. They are comfortable that the handful of scribbled lines they have placed on the screen create a beautiful visual scheme. Simplicity is deceptively challenging.

This is some high level nonsense. And this is also not how art criticism works.

A random example how something like this should be done:

>>738

I think it's the same guy who did the Bahi is the best trolling some days ago.

It's better just to ignore him.

>>739
>At no point does the animation feel like it is struggling technically to convince you of something beyond the animators' capabilities.

What the hell does this shit even mean? Sounds like a bad first year art history student would write, who loves his own voice a little too much.

Too bad he is doing this shit for years now.

>>724
Pretty mediocre CG. Imitates the hand-drawn look but the movement totally gives it away. There are studios that definitely do it better.

>>739
This is some high level nonsense. And this is also not how art criticism works.
I don't know, it makes sense to me. And I'm not sure why you have a problem with someone posting his impressions of something on his blog. Looks like a pretty normal thing to do to me.

>>743
>And I'm not sure why you have a problem with someone posting his impressions of something on his blog.

It's possibly the same guy that said we can't talk about KyoAni anymore. Too much trolling recently.

Marvel animatics

>>739
This is some high level nonsense
Why? It makes sense if you have watched the film. He's not an animator, he won't go frame by frame.

A random example how something like this should be done
Seems like the same style to me. A fuckton of words, adjectives and concepts that probably make sense if you are familiar with the work.

Also >>743 is right, he's posting his opinion on his blog, he's not trying to be an "art critic". If you find his writing too pompous you could tell him or debate his viewpoints, ask him to precise definitions. Why come here to whine like a baby?

To whine like a baby...

>He has a different opinion, he must be a troll.

Guys, come on. It's just a blog written by a pretentious writer. Either people like it or not - deal with it.

>>730
>He just likes cartoony stuff. Meh...

Then why didn't he like LWA?

>>750

How it is possible not to like the animation style of LWA?

>>750
He said that?

>>752
>>751
Little Witch Academia I watched already a while back, actually. I guess it was one of the few things I couldn't resist watching because everyone was talking about it, and, well, it's Yoshinari. I had to see that. Most impressive technically, there is no denying that. But the story and tone didn't do much for me. I would have liked something a little edgier and darker and not so conventionally cutesy and whimsical. Tweeny Witches comes to mind as the sort of thing I would have preferred.

>>753
>conventionally cutesy and whimisical

Yeah, I can't stand his writing style. Ignoring the fact that there is not much "conventionally" stuff in this regard in LWA.

>>751
>animation style

Go read some articles from Ben before your next post here.


>>754
>conventionally cutesy and whimisical

Nothing wrong here. LWA didn't tried to be more than that.

>>755

Can you please stop with your blog fanboyism.

>>756
What are you talking about?

Care to explain what animation style means? And while I like LWA, it is generic. Generic and good though.

>>757

"Generic" is a buzzword.

There aren't many shows/movies like LWA. And even LWA doesn't try to be "deep" or try to pull out some Lord of the Rings world-building, so describes "generic" not really LWA - even less than "conventionally cutesy and whimisical".

Like Ben you should stop trying to use adjectives without to think about it.

>>758
>Like Ben you should stop trying to use adjectives without to think about it.

No, you should stop the trolling. Holy fuck, when does it end?

>>759

"trolling"

Do you even know what trolling means? If people don't share your opinion it doesn't mean they are trolling but just they have different opinions.
