Good soup! posted:And during the battle scenes where to show them dodging inside the mechs, they would just zoom in to a still of their face and just spin the completely motionless cel 360 degrees around a CGI background, I mean holy poo poo, Berserk 97 (I'd imagine) had an even smaller budget and never did anything as embarrassing as that lmao quote:Hongo attempted to adapt the manga closely while integrating interesting story elements and 3D CGI animation, used in the battles between the Ingrids and Victim alongside the traditional cel animation.[5] Hongo felt the possibilities with the CGI were limitless; 3D director Tokumitsu Kifune did not think these portions of the show would not have been possible with 2D animation Yeah well, technically he's not wrong.

only things I remember about .hack//sign are 1) main character is a boy in the game but a girl in real life holy gently caress... 2) there was a lady named B.T. because B.L.T.s were her favorite sandwich but she didn't like lettuce so she'd get it with no lettuce

Pener Kropoopkin posted:Yeah well, technically he's not wrong. GitS SAC came out just two years later and it’s CG aged far, far better (well the intro to the first season not so much). Hell, the show was widescreen in 2002. The CG in Blue Submarine 6 also wasn’t terrible, having rewatched it recently, and it started in ‘98. The real problem is it’s only 4 episodes, which isn’t enough to develop its themes or characters very much. The .hack PS2 games were some how way more boring as a kid than .hack//sign. .sign at least had loads of character development, even if there wasn’t any action. The PS2 games were like a Diablo clone without loot.

I think some efforts at using CGI at the time ended up aging well because directors and animators understood its limitations, but the guys behind Candidate for Goddess ended up going hog wild with it.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:Yeah, texhnolyze rocks. If you want to feel bad that is. I could appreciate what Lain and Haibane Renmei were doing, but Texhnolyze was genuinely my favourite of the Yoshitoshi ABe trilogy. It had atmosphere you could cut with a knife, and the episodes on the surface were incredible. I've got a soft spot for a show with a Juno Reactor OP, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3SzOzm8lmo

Nothing could ever be the kind of touchstone that Bebop was because it was the flagship anime series for Adult Swim. For a lot of people that was their first big exposure to anime.

at the time me or my friends realized that champloo was made by the same guy who did cowboy bebop. One of us had the samurai champloo soundtrack cd and it made the rounds. Champloo was prob more popular then bebop with my friends who weren't super huge anime nerds. the glory days of living in a off-line bubble.

Well as long as we're on the subject, Space Dandy remains Watanabe's most underrated show. Maybe it doesn't have a great plot or lame & cliched tropes, but it's a real showcase for what different styles and storytelling animation is capable of just being built off of a simple premise. A truly experimental work of comedic art.

A truly experimental work of comedic art. Space Dandy is a show I absolutely didn’t think I’d like as much as I did. Watched a couple episodes being like “yeah, this is okay. He really likes boobs, yup. What’s good though?” and then practically marathoned the whole thing after. poo poo like the race episode or the one about the prom queen challenger with the incredible rear end are episodes that all rapidly escalate beyond your wildest expectations

I was definitely not expecting it to have a rotating cast of directors, key animators, and studios each doing their own sequences or individual episodes. What a ride. The episode where they encounter alternate universe versions of themselves who are all different genres of anime is one of the funniest things ever made.

Ironically it was Champloo that helped the exposure of nujabes and eventual explosion of Chillhop etc which is absolutely a big cultural force now. I think Champloos impact is huge just subtle, it's still an adult swim show from the early era. It's absolutely the anime for non anime nerds. I still think Bebop is the best of those shows though, it earned it. I would still go so far as to call it The Best Anime That Isn't A Film if you had some bullshit top 100 list. It has incredible pacing all around and perfectly blurs the line between episodic and long term plot content. The music is great and unique throughout every episode while maintaining a consistent theme, the shows emotional content is mature without being overwrought, the animation is about as good as you get for the time for a TV show. I know Eva had a bigger impact in japan but Bebop like, legitimized anime in the west. The english voice cast being lightning striking twice doesn't hurt.

I know this is basic bitch anime opinion, but I totally agree with you. Cowboy bebop is just one of those once every 10 year greats. Everything comes together so well, it's unbelievable.

lol timely, netflix just released cast pics of their adaptation. https://twitter.com/NetflixGeeked/status/1429790569946046464 Looks pretty bad imo. I mean live action adaptations are never good, but the vibe from spike and faye are just off. Jet looks good. It's so annoying that due to racism, john cho is basically the only asian male actor in hollywood. he's way too old. I'll still watch that crap anyways.
