I have a theory that SHAFT draws their inspiration much more from theatrical conventions than cinematic ones. The backgrounds are more like set backdrops that suggest the environment than they are like standard backgrounds that actually depict it, crowds of people are either suggested or abstracted rather than being actually shown, and there's a tendency towards one-on-one conversations instead of group scenes. If you go back to Pani Poni Dash! (possibly the SHAFTiest thing that SHAFT ever did), the backgrounds were literal sets, with crew and understructure visible during many scenes.

HiveCommander posted:You know, that makes a ton of sense and I wouldn't be surprised if SHAFT themselves admit that this is the full intention behind their animation. It certainly draws enough attention and differentiates them from other studios, which could be another alterior motive behind SHAFT doing SHAFT things. The other is that it's possible to produce striking and memorable imagery in a fashion that will often minimize the workload on their animators, or at least conserve their available man-hours for the crazy stuff. Take the scroll paintings from the most recent -Monogatari series; they're visually gorgeous and it's easy to remember how impressive they are, but when you get down to it they probably didn't take much more time than something like 6 or seven ordinary backgrounds you'd use in a couple of minutes of ordinary footage, then they can draw the use of those paintings out for minutes at a time, not have to bother with coming up with keyframes or farming out the in-betweening for that entire time, and if the audience is anything like me they'll eat it up regardless. Similarly, they're free to cut out all the extraneous stuff that gets tossed in to make things look more "real," like having a whole host of animated (or even drawn stills of) background characters that the audience fundamentally doesn't care about but everyone adds in anyway; instead they replace them with crude stills (PPD), pink/blue icons (HS), or barely-glimpsed foreground stills/general emptiness (BMGT). This both keeps the audience focused on where the story is going (no, the classmate bullying Nadeko isn't going to become a recurring character, they exist only as a force set against the protagonist) and saves lodsamone. *Not to say that they ignore how they're shooting; they're one of the best in the business at framing single images. They just aren't hung up on those images being part of a sequence that moves in time with normal human perception.

Marika's dad was perfect. Gendo's VA, The Pose, and the NERV references in the elevator.

As long as the faces keep coming, I don't think people who read it (including myself) are going to care.

I remember one, maybe two chapters. That aside, it was okay. Shuu owns, but we already knew that.

I didn't expect a reference to UPMC to pop up. Don't think they're owned by a Japanese family, though.

Bad Seafood posted:I remember reading the first chapter of this when it was new, then forgetting about it. Since it just ended I decided I might as well jump ahead to the last one. Nisekoi's always been more about the in-the-moment delivery of silly faces and blush porn.
