Cockpit camera is back, yay.
hmm..Watada-san and Kanta Suzuki-san are on the boards this time, with Suzuki-san taking the role of Action AD and KA.
I'm really not sure who to pin ,as both of em are known for using great camera work.

This is a frame-worthy drawing of FRIEREN, the light separation giving us both the kage aesthetics, the portion of hair that blends into the light,the shadows, the menacing look and most importantly THE beautiful looong ears!
Long elf ears are justice, bless Nagasawa-san🫶🙏
Masaaki Yuasa's surreal and mind bending adaptation of Robin Nishi's manga, Mind Game is now available on Studio 4°C's YouTube channel for a limited time (Jan 20 - Feb 20) ;

The most exciting, explosive ep
#1
of the season... is here.
Kawagoe and his BUGS Team truly knocked it out of the park and this is another one of those adaptations that immensely enhances every element the source has to offer. (specifically, THE COLORS)

#フリーレン who is generally passive and sluggish bursting with energy to recommend her travel partner/part time mom with a potion that can melt clothes!!, this elf is just too bad. 😭
The linework in this quite literally breaths and adds an extra oomph to this scene.
Taguchi's visual identity on Natsuton is fantastic.He has truly evolved his style and is able to make you feel things instantly ,even if you didn't connect with the characters, a sort of magic I attribute to few people who works closely and tightly with the filming and color dept
Superb shadows on Mama Miyako. The attention to the swaying of her hair and the shadows accentuating her figure. That really does breath some life into this cut.
Aaand it dawned on me, the words "GOSSO CINEMA" is real.The most anticipated debut on one of the, if not the greatest arcs.
I swear Gosso must have a fish eye and spherical mirror in him to capture and compose impossible amounts of three dimensionality in every scene.Brilliant😭
I am soo loving the recent movement where indie-bred creators are getting a chance to input their unique aesthetics into a mainstream OP/ED, and now in

cour2 we witness Ayaka Nakata's unrestrained Suletta dancing to a powerful ED drop powered by the TK and AiNA from BisH
85 years ago today the Legend Kazuhiko Katou,aka MONKEY PUNCH was born.
Drawing inspirations from Tom&Jerry, Maurice Leblanc's Lupin, James Bond, folklore heroes of Sengoku period and an immense love for western comic,Monkey Punch gave us an eternal gentleman thief with LUPINIII
Layout porn :O ,lol nvm its just porn.
Yoshimoto Kinji's(吉本欣司) era of adult animations was in a class of its own, the ARMS involvement was at its all time golden peak.
*damn this might be the month of powerful artists& animators*
Umezu is one of those creator that has a visual appeal that literally burns itself in you from the very moment your eye catches it--he is simply exceptional at everything he does.HAPPY BIRTHDAY YASUOMI UMETSU

It's been 9 Years since Director Hibiki Yoshizaki and the team at Khara dropped one of the most thought provoking and psychedelic piece of animated short for Japan Animator Expo(2014),- MEMEME! by Teddyloid ft Daoko.
Masakazu Miyake(三宅昌和) and a team of talented painters once again breathing fresh air into the BGs as the scenery changes to Ranoa Magic Academy,once again giving this show a different feel.
Happy Birthday to Yoshiaki Kawajiri and the late Osamu Dezaki, two of the most influential and creative visionaries in the world animation, and co-founders of the legendary MADHOUSE Studio.

TT is the worst thing to happen to the anime podcast community part

iirc 2 of the clowns in this trio had an indepth look into anime buildings and its workings(I believe the biggest 🤡 of em all also participated in making one), AND still continues to entertain these..
What in God's green earth are these guys blathering on about 😂😂😂
Apparently Frieren animators started going extra hard on animation after realizing that it has become so popular cuz anime is made week by week nowadays unlike back in the day 🥴🤣
Now I've heard it all LMAO
The visual overloading and the finesse to convert anything into the rawest form of expression in this medium, you can find all of that in this man.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the one and only, Hiroyuki Imaishi. 👏

An absolute unit of a Character designer and Animation director. It almost feels like a blessing to see this man's, strong and immaculate work on screen, characters that exudes powerful waves of vigor.
Happy Birthday NAOYUKI ONDA.🫡

Miyakawa Shun's(宮川駿)MV directorial entry at WIT with After the Rain duo is amazing. This is soo well made, it pretty much checks all the essentials for a short form animation, from fast paced and arresting boards to striking character designs. love it

Nishii-san is so aggressive and real, I like her.
I'm not generalizing but yeah this is very true,there is a steady decline in professional ethics in this "show off" driven アニメーター side of this site.
This summer, we met with
@ayano_f
and
@NishiiTerumi
to discuss working conditions in the anime industry, be it animators or voice actors, and the reasons why

Happy Birthday to KENSUKE USHIO.
The King of Ambience, His music always envelops me in a strange sensation of fear, excitement and sadness. This man is a genius composer , he is a genre of music.

I have no spare brain cells to fry from rage but c'mon, Akebi and the girls should have obliterated the judging grounds, this show is THE animation unlike a certain fx blasted fest.
It feels full of life(heh) and is very exciting to look at. Lots of fun things crammed into every frame. I love how they incorporated the source materials play on splash of colors into the animation.
Hey,that cool projector room aesthetic and a Weeb👌
Zom 💯/💯
Flooded green houses, floral imagery, girls submerged in swamps and the distinct use of jade colors, Kenichi Kutsuna's visual id keeps delivering amazing OP, this time for;
Mahou Shoujo Magical Destroyers.

That is absolutely not the way to handle an endangered species. #フリーレン
The fall felt kinda soft but the act of restraining and FRIEREN's erratic motion contributed a lot to the impact. (very personal)
Happy birthday to the legend, YOSHINORI KANADA.
He inspired a whole wave of over the top unconventional action, perspectives and fx.
The Kanada school is still an inspiration to many and one of the most distinct styles in animation.

SUMISAKI JUN, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Bless by Yukino Sonoyama, Now that is an impressive chapter 1, once again another fashion centric manga offering a lot of heart.
Saitou's understanding of the post-maou factor in FRIEREN and her, a near immortal elf's inherent detachment to a mortal's emotions and perception of time is presented exceptionally well,it elevates the source to a higher level, one that takes advantage of all tools in the medium
An interesting thing that caught my eye when checking out 'Raytrek Creators Voice interview w/ ShingoYama'- He mentioned that he started taking an unique creative approach recently where he begins with the color script(BG, characters and lighting) for each scene and works..
It is very likely that Dorohedoro Season 2 will be having a studio change.
Will post an update about that in early 2024.
Anime would air around spring 2024 or 2025.
Feels good seeing this movie getting the recognition it deserves, esp on my feed lately.
Funfact; Dir Shunji Iwai, hired about 100 artists from twitter, not animators but creators who were good illustrators to work on this movie.
Extremely fun MV for NEE directed by 10十10(tentoten, an upcoming young creator affiliated with Mappa).
Compared to their previous MV , Soumatou. The tempo and framework of this MV is closer to the ones we've been seeing lately, a fast paced dramatic progression of events.
Being excessive has always been ingrained in Gohand's visual code ,but that very factor did not break their first movie series project,Mardock Scramble.
It also doubled as a showcasing, lit. flex --of an ace artist the house has gained, Shingo Suzuki(鈴木信吾)
This is a frame-worthy drawing of FRIEREN, the light separation giving us both the kage aesthetics, the portion of hair that blends into the light,the shadows, the menacing look and most importantly THE beautiful looong ears!
Long elf ears are justice, bless Nagasawa-san🫶🙏
Keisuke Hiroe's(廣江啓輔) use of these decorated letterboxes that wraps FRIEREN's journey with the hero party like a beautifully illustrated fairy tale is brilliant, the opening "animation" does feel like a fleeting moment.
#フリーレン
Kudos to Fgo composers for getting the beat for Goddess Kali's ,Dance of Death and Destruction.
Not even God Juna was blessed with a hard hitting intro. Anyway we wait for Banner2.
I have procured some jigoku perfect shots, this setting is disgustingly beautiful and dream like when few factors clicks in.
That 3rd shot right there is the most beautiful Sagiri model I have seen so far in this show.
I forgot how annoying Misogynistic Asaemon-kun was. deservedL
Elegant turn,that cold gaze and her eyes instantly locking the target down! Purple haired anime ladies are dangerous and Fern is no exception, her almost mechanical like demeanor is legit scary af
Kouki Fujimoto's ED debut on #フリーレン is another landmark in this adaptation.
There is a lot to talk about and at the same time I just feel dazed. Totally overwhelmed by the movie(4eps) I just saw, will sort em thoughts tomorrow.
Still cant believe I'm watching all of this in motion. (kinda unreal)
btw look at those sheets!!
I am truly speechless and overwhelmed to frame anything sensible right now. Gosso's directorial debut on season 2 of Jujutsu feels like a landmark in the medium, the show now has it's much awaited coat of unnatural and abnormality.
Honestly not surprised to see the wizard ,SHINJI KIMURA confirmed as the art director for Kaijuu

.
The color and texture on the gantry cranes and the vegetation patch is a ded giveaway!
Bless Taguchi-san for being obsessed with rim lights and solid color traces. These touches works like a miracle on simple models.
also I highly suggest you to check out some of Takumi Hoshina(dop) compositing reels. mvp of this project imo.
Sticking closer to the overall cold to warm tone shift of the series, the ED boarded/directed by Ayaka Tsuji and solo animated by Shiori Tani is another delightful addition.
These stills dont do justice to Tani's delicate and rough lines. JUST WATCH IT PLS.
YES!! THIS IS PERFECTION. Miyajima Kantoku with Naoki Takeda character design debut!!
Sayaka Senbongi as Marcile, Im done this is too good.
#deliciousindungeon
4 hours until Trigger saves anime again.
I'm excited to see who will handle the monster designs and will Yoh-san sweep in all possible credits. ( Where is Miyajimaaaa)
Nothing could've prepared me for this, The KEIICHIROU SAITOU(神) directing one of the greatest fictions of all time and he is in his zone, at MADHOUSE.
A very heartfelt and special story crafted by a group of the finest creators. I'm already tearing up...
